Verdict

GOJU ILCHEOK (6) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1 ¹/16m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Winning rider Yoo Seung-Wan sticks and a bold showing is expected. JISAN LABEL (7) has recorded four minor placings from six starts to date, the latest when second over 1 ?m at this track. He is a leading hope. MR.CARA (4) went forward over 1 ?m at this track last time but found a couple better. Luis Felipe Quiroz Martinez sticks. One of the contenders. PNS TWIN (8) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1 ¹/16m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
