Verdict

NAOL AURORA (1) finished 1.2 lengths away in fifth last time out over 7f at this track after being in contention on the bend three weeks ago as $2.5 favourite. Tackles a longer journey this time. Winning rider Jo Sang Beom sticks. Well placed and should be in the finish. THE SUN STORY (3) has strung together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on May 30 over 7f when she scored by 1.5 lengths. Winning rider Kim Hyo Jung retains the mount. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TAEGEUK WANGJA (4) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 7f at this track, scoring by half a length. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Winning rider Johan Victoire sticks and he should be in the finish again. SMILE NAMSAN (7) is back after a break of ten months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fifth over 1 ?m at this track. Looks forward enough following an impressive trial win recently. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
