Verdict

GRACE DAY (11) pushed forward and led throughout to score a 9 length win over 6 ½f at this track last time. Has the speed to overcome the draw and is a leading hope. DONGGANGUI STAR (7) returns from a layoff of three months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 5f at this track. Has found a suitable race. J ONE POWER (10) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 6 ½f at this track, beaten 3 lengths. The engagement of Kim Hyo Jung is noteworthy. In the right race and there is no reason he cannot get the major prize. STORM TROOPER (8) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 11 lengths away in eighth over 6f at this track. No surprise to see him in contention.
