Verdict

LIVE STAR (3) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 1 ¹/16m at this track. Winning rider Jang Chu Youl retains the mount. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. STUNNING FLATTER (2) found the line nicely last start to get up for third over 1 ?m at this track. Among the leading chances. YEONGWON GIANT (5) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, last start over 1 ?m at this track. One of the main contenders. KING KALLE (8) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 9 lengths into fifth over 1 ?m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
