Verdict

JACHE BALGWANG (6) improved last time out, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1 ¹/16m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ROPPONGI DRAGON (11) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 17 lengths when 11th over 1 ?m at this track four weeks ago. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. EUNBIT DOLPUNG (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was never in contention over 1m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into fifth. This doesn't look as hard so she is one of the main contenders. K POWERFUL (7) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last time over 1 ?m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Capable of another strong performance.
