Verdict

BLISS STAR (7) went forward last start over 7f at this track and held on well for second, beaten 2 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. BEAT FRESH (5) is a five-start maiden who has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when second over 6 ½f at this track. Should park just off the speed. Will give a great sight. MANGEUM CROWN (6) is a seven-start maiden who looks close to breaking the duck after finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs, most recently when 6 lengths away in third over 7f at this track. Jo Sang Beom stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on four occasions. Should be involved in the finish. ROAD TO STAR (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 6 ½f at this track. This looks a good race for him and he is one of the key runners.
