Verdict

TANSEONGUI BANSEOK (1) turned in a modest performance when second last time out over 1 ?m at this track, beaten 13 lengths after being in contention on the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. DRAGON GATE (2) scored at this track last time out with 1.5 lengths in reserve at the end of 1 ?m. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and five placings. Winning rider Kim Yong Geun stays aboard. Likely to feature. PASA SPURT (10) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Recorded back to back wins with a 2 length success over 1m at this track last time. Races well here and is among the chances. BS STORM (8) had been in top form landing three consecutive wins before a last-start third over 1 ?m at this track.
