Verdict

SMART BOSS (4) is resuming from a spell of three months and having his first run for the Kim Do Hyun yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at this track over 6f. Well-placed and sure to feature. ONEULISUNGAN (2) returns from a break of four months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1 ?m at this track. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. LAST DRAGON (5) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 12 lengths over 1 ¼m at this track. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Worth noting Jin Kyum goes aboard. Nicely placed to bounce back. PERFECT ACTION (10) went forward and gave a great sight when third over 7f at this track last time out. Must be respected.
