Verdict

TIGER BULPAE (11) remains a maiden after five runs. Was well in commission last time but could only manage to finish fifth over 6f at this track. Well placed on this occasion and gets her chance to break the ice. SEOUL BIHAENG (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a head from the winner in second over 6f at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. JOSE (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Likely improver with strong prospects. COMPLETE PARTY (1) was below her best last time when seventh over 6f at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Nicely placed to turn things around.
