GOING:

Class 4 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 23)    

Dragon Kingdom has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. NAVID (1) is still a maiden after five runs. Was popular in betting last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fifth over 1700m at this track. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. SIDAEUI MYEONGJAK (5) opened this campaign last start with a second, beaten 2 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Among the top chances. DRAGON KINGDOM (7) is having his first run since May 4. Has a very good fresh record, scoring two times including one over 1200m at this track at the start of last prep. Placed in a recent trial. Makes plenty of appeal. HI KHAN (11) finished 4 lengths away in sixth at his last appearance over 1600m at this track on March 15. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes.
