GOING: G

Class 4 Handicap 1800m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 27)    

Strong early tempo with Mullebanga and Here I Am to lead the way over Taepyeong Hero and Global Meni. HERE I AM (3) is in top form, most recently recording a win by half a length over 1800m to make it two in succession. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will give a great sight. GLOBAL MENI (5) has been kept fresh since finishing second over 1800m four weeks ago. Was a determined winner two starts back. Jang Chu Youl stays on. Sure to run well. TAEPYEONG HERO (1) missed the placings two runs ago then settled well back last start when 11th over 1600m at Busan. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a major player. MULLEBANGA (7) finished third over 1800m at his most recent appearance on February 24. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
