Verdict

GANGPUNGMA (6) is racing well. Scored at this track two back then finished second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1 ¼m at this track at the latest appearance six weeks ago. Jo Jae Ro who has scored on him nine times retains the mount. Should be hard to stop. GLOBAL HIT (12) wasn't far away last time out, finishing fourth over 1 ¼m at this track. Yet to miss the placings at this trip. Poses a genuine threat. WONPYEONG STORM (5) is having his first run since September 28. Has a very good fresh record, scoring two times including one over 1m at this track at the start of last prep. Has ability and should be right in the finish. YUMENO HONOO (16) is having his first run since September 28. Has a strong record when fresh with five wins from eight runs, the most recent over 1 ³/16m at Kochi at the start of last prep. Top-three claims.
