Verdict

GEUMA PRECEDE (1) is a promising type who scored at her only run last prep 11 months ago over 6 ½f at this track. Fitter for one trial, most recently at Busan. Has scored first-up from a spell before. Should park just off the speed. Among the leading chances. HAPPY TAEYANG (7) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 6f, beaten by just over a length. Should be at her peak now. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and two minor placings from four outings. Expected to be hard to beat. QUEEN OF DRAGON (4) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1 ?m. Generally goes well here. One of the main contenders. WONDER DRAGON (5) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was a fair sixth over 7f at this track. Fitter this time will be among the main each-way chances this time.
