Verdict

WONDERFUL NORTHERN (11) steps up in trip after scoring last time by a neck over 1 ?m at this track on November 29. Gets some weight relief this time so he is expected to measure up again. GANGPUNGMA (7) is a model of consistency with top-three finishes at his last seven starts, most recently finishing second over 1 7/16m at this track. Hard to knock and is a winning hope again. BLACK BELT (9) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when 12th, beaten 35 lengths, over 1 7/16m at this track. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is sure to be prominent. WONPYEONG STORM (8) finished 26 lengths behind the winner in sixth place when resuming over 1 7/16m last start at this track. Generally goes well with that run under the belt. Likely improver.
