Verdict

STORM TROOPER (7) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by half a length over 7f at this track. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he is sure to go well. RACE ROSE (5) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths starting at $9.20. Likely improver with strong prospects. HOLY KAISER (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when seventh in a 6 ½f contest at this track six weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. YONGAM SARANG (1) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when tenth over 6f at this track, beaten 25 lengths. Well placed and can make amends.
