Verdict

PALO ALTO (9) showed good speed and led for much of the way before being claimed in the straight and fading to finish fifth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 7f here last time. Will take catching. HANGANG BOSS (3) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 6 lengths over 6f at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. DRAGON KINGDOM (5) was well below best last time when sixth at this track but change of rider today. Previous form sound and may be worth another chance. EAST GANGJEOK (6) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 7f at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
