Verdict

NAOL AURORA (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 11 lengths when sixth over 1 ¹/16m at this track six weeks ago. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. QUERENCIA (7) broke his maiden five starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten 4 lengths into third over 7f at this track. Great chance to break through. MANGEUM DAON (6) was close to a maiden win before a 12 weeks break, finishing off with a placing over 1 ¹/16m at this track. Re-unites with Kim Jeong Jun. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. WINNER SOCKS (2) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish fourth, beaten 8 lengths, over 7f at this track. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
