GOING: M

Class 2 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 10)    

Eldorado Gangnam to take charge ahead of Shadow Hunter at a strong tempo. ELDORADO GANGNAM (4) produced a good effort last start over this trip at this track, scoring by 6 lengths. Has a very good record here including three wins from six starts. One of the major players. SHADOW HUNTER (5) has been kept fresh since an all-the-way win over 1400m at this track. Should be ridden forward again and should prove tough to beat. SINHAN TEUKSONG (8) was in contention on the corner and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. In the right race and is a winning hope. MR QUALITY (1) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 1400m at this track, beaten 28 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
