Verdict

UNJU CHALLENGE (6) didn't do a bad job when second last start after being in the firing line on the bend over 1m at this track, beaten a neck. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. MAKE IT BETTER (11) went forward last start over 1m at this track and held on well for second, beaten half a length. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. ARION TAEYANG (7) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months after closing off last preparation with three consecutive minor placings. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will give backers a great sight. ALPHA HEART (5) did a great job to score by half a length over today's course and distance when first-up from a layoff last start. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot repeat the dose.

Unju Challenge silk

Going well. Comes here off a 30-day let-up. At the latest run made some head-way from midfield, 2nd of 10 at this track on October 25 over 1m, neck behind Hello Sunshine carrying 118lbs at $1.62. The start before that favourite, scored a big 6 len win at this track September 27 over 7f defeating Right Champ carrying 119lbs at $4.50. Strong effort last time and looks a leading hope.
