Verdict

NICE BUDDY (5) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 12 lengths over 6 ½f at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from four outings. Sure to go well again. NAEPYEON (3) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when second over 7f at this track. Should enjoy a nice run and is a leading hope again. UNJU CHALLENGE (6) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish second over 1m at this track. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. BEOLGYO WANGCHO (10) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish tenth over 7f at this track in a disappointing performance. Finds a nice race and can turn things around.
