Verdict

WORLD LIST CAT (7) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 6 ½f at this track. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from three starts. Among the leading chances. THE NOMINATE (10) won her maiden over this course and distance last start, getting the verdict by 1.75 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Breaks from a wide alley but she is a great chance to go back-to-back. DEUMULEO (8) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at her last two runs, the latest when third over 6f at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Worth including. MARIA'S CALL (6) is returning from a spell of 11 months. Finished fifth at this track over 6f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Gu Min Sung. Ran fourth in a trial at Busan over 5f recently.
