GOING: G

Class 3 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 20)   True  

Solid tempo set by One Punch Dragon and Gold Sidae. ONE PUNCH DRAGON (5) turned in a modest performance when fifth last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Kim Yong Geun gets the best out of this three-year-old colt. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. FAIR SKIES (10) bounced straight into a handy position from the inside draw before finishing fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. GOLD SIDAE (2) went forward last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for second, beaten 4 lengths. Drawn to go forward again. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. STAR CHANGER (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out.

Going well. Returns from a 35-day let-up. Most recently crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 2nd of 11 at this track on March 8 over 1400m, slow going 4 len behind Shadow Hunter carrying 52kg at $17. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 10 at this track on February 8 over 1400m, 2 len behind Haksan Macho with 57.5kg at $3.75. Rates highly. Big chance.
