Golden King has not won since March last year but is coming off successive minor placings at group one level last month. The five year old caught the eye with a fast finishing 2nd in the 2000m G1 Piala Emas Sultan Selangor before a short head defeat in the 2000m G1 Penang Gold Cup last start.
Golden King is well placed at the weights and looks a genuine chance to atone this weekend.
