Verdict

MAEUM HANA (4) finished fourth when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time out after being prominent at the bend to score by a head as public elect over 6f at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. DAEHAN POWER (3) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1 ?m, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Has a solid record at this circuit. Sure to go well. JD GANGJA (2) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start over 1 ¹/16m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Finds a tougher race but a big run will not surprise. AIRFORCEONE (1) returns from a layoff of four months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 5f at this track. One to consider.
