Verdict

GEUMJEOKSAN (8) started at $2.60 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths at this track over 6f. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. FLASH JUDE (7) is racing well. Scored at this track two back then finished second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 6 ½f at this track at the latest appearance seven weeks ago. Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts her right in this. MIGHTY SHINE (3) finished 1.1 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in the firing line on the turn over 6 ½f at this track, an improvement on her fifth at this track the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. NASCA BULCHUNGGAEK (4) raced on the pace over 6f at this track last time and went on to win by 1.3 lengths. Has the pace to take up a good early position from the favourable alley. Among the top-three contenders.
