Verdict

GIANT STEP (3) got home by just 0.8 lengths at his latest appearance over 1m at this track. Drops significantly in the weights so another bold showing is expected. WONPYEONG STORM (1) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Scored over 5f at this track to launch the last campaign. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. HERO FIGHTER (7) was prominent at the turn and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1 ?m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Likely improver with bright prospects. EOSEOMAREULHAE (4) was beaten 4 lengths into fifth in a 6f contest at this track two weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
