Verdict

RAON SAPPHIRE (3) was on debut at this track last start where she made a sustained run and finished second, beaten half a length, over 6 ½f. Has a low draw which assists and looks hard to beat. SMART HAESEONG (1) was out of the money first up but has since been on the money on two consecutive occasions, the latest when third over 6f at this track. Choi Bum Hyun has registered two minor placings when on board. Expecting a bold showing. THUNDER RUN (11) was prominent until they straightened last time but weakened to finish fifth over 6 ½f at this track. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. DAJEONGHAN (6) was never in contention last time over 6 ½f at this track when she finished fourth, beaten 5.5 lengths. Finds the right race and is worth consideration.
