Verdict

NAEGILUI YEOJEONG (2) is closing in on a win after two consecutive minor placings, the latest when second over 6f at this track. Lim Da Bin stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Expecting a bold showing. GHOST DRAGON (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 6f at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MENI SHARK (6) settled well back from the inside draw last start before coming home nicely to finish 9 lengths away in fifth over 6f at this track. Must be included. YONGAM KANTHAKA (9) finished 25 lengths away in 11th at his last appearance over 6f at this track on November 30 after he gave away a big start. Appeals as a top-four contender.
