GOING:

Class 3 Handicap 1800m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 35)    

Expecting Clutch Magic to take up the running with Excellent Matta and K Powerful close at hand. CLUTCH MAGIC (2) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 6 lengths over 1800m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three outings. Sure to go well again. SEOBU CHAMP (6) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1600m at this track when beaten 4.5 lengths. Choi Bum Hyun has registered three minor placings when on board. Expecting a bold showing. BEOLGYOUI STAR (5) was beaten for early speed and didn't come into contention when a disappointing eighth over 1600m at this track most recently. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. K POWERFUL (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle.
