Verdict

CATCH RACE (3) saluted at Busan two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when in contention on the bend before finishing second over 1 ¼m at this track, beaten half a length. Has the talent to find the winners' list. BARO DANAEUN (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when seventh over 6f at this track seven weeks ago. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PURGE STEP (6) improved sharply on her sixth two starts back at this track with a win as public elect over 1 ?m at this track eight weeks ago, getting home by half a length after being prominent at the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. NAMSAN BELT (7) returned from a spell six weeks ago when she was beaten 14 lengths into tenth over 7f at this track. Fitter so watch for a better performance.
