Verdict

JEONGMUN SKIP (3) resumes from a spell of four months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1m at this track. Looks ready to run following a minor placing in a recent Busan trial. Well placed and happy to have him on top. CHOEGANG HAPPY (9) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 6 ½f, beaten a nose. Sure to go well. OASIS STAR (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 20 lengths when fifth over 1 ?m at this track eight weeks ago after being in the firing line on the bend. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DIMENSION (2) was beaten 15 lengths into seventh in a 1m contest at this track last time out. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
