Verdict

VALID YOUNG (10) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with a win as favourite over 1 ¹/16m at this track five weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Steps up a level but he is good enough to figure in the finish. GENERAL WIND (4) finished ninth, beaten 9 lengths, last time out over 1m at Busan. Excellent record here having never missed the placings in three starts, including two wins and one placing. Sure to run well. AQUA LINE (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on February 15, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths over 1 ¹/16m at this track. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. USEUNG JINLI (5) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 7f at this track. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
