Verdict

WHIZ PERFECT (4) finished 9 lengths away in sixth last time out over 6f at this track four weeks ago as $1.8 favourite. Steps up in distance today. The testing material. UNJU PRINCE (2) is a progressive three-year-old colt who hasn't raced since finishing third over 6f at this track on April 11 which was the only run of that prep. Kim Yong Geun who has two wins when partnering stays on. Among the leading chances. SAENAE FIGHTER (8) ran below his best last start when beaten 14 lengths into eighth from a wide draw over today's course and distance. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Sure to be competitive. MATTERHORN K (1) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 6 lengths into eighth at his latest appearance over 1m at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. Will be doing his best work late.
