Verdict

WONDAEHAN KKUM (4) finished a 9 length sixth when resuming last start over 1m at this track. Generally goes well with that run under the belt. Likely improver. EOHWADUNGDUNG (10) has been kept fresh since an all-the-way win over 1 ?m at this track. Gets some weight relief this time and is a leading hope. VICE ROYAL (8) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track with success over 1m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. TAMNA SUPER (3) comes here off a freshen-up of five weeks after finishing fourth at his latest appearance over 1 ?m at this track. Has a win and two minor placings from four starts at this track and distance. Best figures stack up nicely.
