Verdict

FANTASTIC VALUE (10) returns from a layoff of five-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 6f at this track. Expect her to play a major role. FLYING STAR (1) was an effortless winner last time over 1 ¼m at this track, scoring by 7 lengths. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Likely to feature. BORYEONGLIGHTQUEEN (11) ran well below her best last time over 1 ¼m at this track, beaten 10 lengths into fifth at $1.60. Form over this course and distance is solid with a win and two minor placings from four starts. One of the main contenders. ACE HIGH (3) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently when second over 1 ¼m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a big role.
