Verdict

MY EMPIRE (5) has three wins and one placing from six runs this preparation. Scored last start by 6 lengths at this track over 7f after being racing in the leading division. Going well enough to play a major role. MIGHTY EVER (2) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the turn at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths starting at $8.30. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. YEONGWON BIG MAN (4) finished fourth last time out over 1 ?m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Well placed and likely to feature. SUPER BLUEMOON (9) was a gutsy winner two back then ran ninth over 1 ?m at this track on December 21. Kim Tae Hun who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Deserves respect.
