Verdict

HERO CHEETAH (4) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when ninth over 6 ½f at this track, beaten 10 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. K N BIGBANG (11) bounced straight to the front from the rails draw when fresh from a spell last start and led for home before finishing second over 6f at this track. Sure to give a sight. SAINT RUNNER (5) finished second last start over 6 ½f at this track, beaten one length. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WIN CATCHER (1) returns after nine months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 7f at this track. Tuned up with a fifth in a recent trial at Seoul. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
