Verdict

HOLY RUN (1) turned things around last start and got the job done by 1.5 lengths over 7f at this track. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. FLEX ENGINE (3) finished 6 lengths away in sixth last time out over 6f at this track five weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Solid winning chance. SHACKLE LAUD (9) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when seventh, beaten 12 lengths, over 6f at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. GEUMSEONG (5) won at this track two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing eighth over 7f at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
