CHAOZHOU HANDICAP
#3 Country Dancer has been catching the eye in his trials leading up to his first run for the season. This will also mark his first try in Class 5, where he will be partnered by Zac Purton, and the pair have drawn nicely low in barrier 3. #1 The Khan would be preferred over 1400m, but he should have more to come after breaking his duck last start. A bit of a class edge on this field holds him in good stead. #5 Spicy So Smart gets barrier 1, which will provide him a decent run throughout. #10 Cheer For South has been disappointing, but he could finally get the race run to suit and may be one to finish in the money at a price.
