Verdict

CHEONGONGUI SEOM (4) is racing well without being able to break through, the latest effort a third over 6f at this track five weeks ago. Nicely drawn so a well-deserved win is on the cards. ISIMNYEON SEWOL (3) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 6 ½f at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. PURPLE KOREA (6) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 7f at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. ALPHA FEMALE (9) is back at the races for the first time since October 26. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1 ¹/16m at this track. Definite top-three chance.
