GOING:

Class 3 Handicap 1600m

Track:   Rain (Max: 31)    

Plenty of pace from the outset with Haksan Dark Horse and Palatino leading the charge. KING DIA (9) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing fifth over 1600m at this track last start. Can bounce back. HAKSAN DARK HORSE (7) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1400m at this track when he was always up in the leading division. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. DREAM HONOUR (2) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 11 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 1400m at this track. Likely contender with strong prospects. PALATINO (1) is back from a break of nine weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when ninth over 1600m at this track. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. One of the better hopes.
