Verdict

POWERFUL THUNDER (12) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 6f at this track after being prominent at the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. YONGBI LEGEND (10) is yet to break through in five runs but has been thereabouts. Placed two back then was 13 lengths away in fifth over 6 ½f at this track last time. Key runner who can get off the mark. SPEED BUMP (8) resumes from a spell of five-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish 11th at the latest run over 6 ½f at this track. Tuned up with a ninth in a recent trial at Busan. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. MAGIC HAMMER (6) finished 9 lengths adrift in seventh last time over 6f at this track in a disappointing performance. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
