GOING: G

BUSAN HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Superb Boy and Dragon Four Seas can set a genuine tempo. DRAGON FOUR SEAS (4) has won both of his starts on this track in his last couple of outings and got the job done last time out by half a length. He is primed to take the next step, and with 5.5kg less to carry this time, the hat-trick beckons. KAHOLO ANGEL (1) did well to score at this track two runs ago, then was a brave fifth over 1200m at Sha Tin last time out. He slides down in class but with the aid of a 3kg claim, he is expected to be very competitive, especially back on this track. STORMING DRAGON (5) has finished fourth in his last couple of starts. Well placed, and there is no reason he cannot figure in the top 3 this time. ETERNAL FORTUNE (2) was unable to recover from a slow start over 1000m here last time out and will be better suited by the step up to 1200m here. The key here is having Zac Purton take over the reins from an apprentice, and he is expected to be right in the finish this time. Each way.
