Verdict

WORLD LIST CAT (9) is racing well. Scored at this track two back then finished third, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 7f at this track at the latest appearance five weeks ago. Has the speed to overcome the draw. Will prove tough to beat. DRAGON NINJA (5) comes here off a break of nine months. Scored over 6f at this track at the start of last prep. Has switched to the Moon Hyeon Cheol yard. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. BINNANEUNGIL (10) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start over 7f at this track, beaten half a length. Likely improver with strong prospects. GEUMA EMINENT (11) ran a better race last start, finishing 1.75 lengths away in fifth over 6f at this track. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
