Verdict

MORE THAN JOKE (9) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when fifth over 7f at this track four weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. MARU JANGGUN (8) started at $7.80 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 11 lengths at this track over 1 ?m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GEUMBIT CHEONHA (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1 ?m at this track, beaten 3 lengths into fifth after being in contention on the corner. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. COWBOY TANGO (1) resumes in a similar race to his last run three months ago when sixth, beaten 11 lengths. Definite top-three chance.
