GOING: G

SEOUL HANDICAP 1800m Track: GOOD
A keen early contest likely with Flamingo Trillion and Eighteen Palms pushing for the lead with Kimberley and True Genius on their backs. NOBLE PURSUIT (3) stormed home from the back to just miss over 1650m last time out and looks primed for this event. Back up to 1800m where he was a dominant winner three starts back and he maps for the run of the race. Low flying at the moment and can return to the winners stall. FLAMINGO TRILLION (9) stuck on well over the mile at Sha Tin and drops in weight as he comes to this course and distance. He ran behind Noble Pursuit the last time he raced at this track and trip and he meets that galloper better at the weights. Can improve now getting back out in trip. GALLANT WAKING (1) steps out to this distance for the first time and it looks to suit judging by his racing pattern. Vincent Ho replaces the apprentice hoop and he's been on board for all 4 of the gelding's wins. Can make his presence felt. EIGHTEEN PALMS (4) has talent but his only turn at 1800m was just fair. Giving him another chance today.
