Verdict

GEUMJEOKSAN (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 7f at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. IKKEULIM (8) is a genuine type with two minor placings from three starts this time in work. Continued the trend last time out when runner-up over 6f at this track after he was always up in the leading division. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. HAKSAN TAEPUNG (5) turned in a fine effort to score by 3 lengths at today's course and distance when resuming from a layoff last start. Steps up a level but she is good enough to figure in the finish. POWER BEST (2) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 6 ½f. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
