Verdict

MIGHTY SHINE (3) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 1.5 lengths over 6 ½f at this track after being prominent at the bend. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. FLYING SMART (8) scored her maiden win here last time out over today's trip, getting the decision by 0.8 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Winning rider Asano Kazuya stays aboard and she should be in the finish again. NUNKKOT (9) was sent out at $26.50 last time but ran above expectations and won over 7f at this track. Kim Jeong Jun who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Has winning claims on best figures. CUPID K (7) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a seventh over 7f at this track. Can break the run of outs.
