Verdict

GANGPUNGMA (8) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1 ¼m at this track. Jo Jae Ro gets the best out of this five-year-old entire. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. JANGSAN MONSTER (4) ran above expectations and got up for third at big odds at his latest appearance at this track over 1 ¼m. Song Jae Chul stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Fitter and ready to win. ARGO SMILE (9) finished seventh over 1m at this track at his most recent appearance on September 15. Definite top-three chance. DRAGON STAR (3) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of three-and-a-half months and looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Solid top-three hope.
