Verdict

AEGIS CROWN (6) resumes as the horse to beat after closing his previous campaign with two Busan wins, the latest by six lengths as favourite from Queen Race. His three wins from seven starts overall and two from five at 6f give him the clearest winning profile, with Seo Seung Un's two wins from three rides another strong pointer. DOCTOR CITY (4) is the immediate threat after beating Columbia Champ by a head at this track four weeks ago and his jockey-horse record is excellent, though he must back up that peak after a plain sixth prior. GOLDEN (1) is harder to trust off a second-last, beaten over 11 lengths, but the two-length win here the start prior and one win from three at this track and distance keep him in the mix. PERFECT LINE (3) has place-style form after a Busan third, gets weight relief and drops in grade, with the 6f test still the important unknown.

6	Returns from a four-month break after a strong previous campaign, last seen winning by six lengths at Busan as favourite from Queen Race. He had also beaten Songjeong Today by just under a length the run before, showing he could win both narrowly and with authority. Three wins from seven starts overall, two from five at 6f and a strong record with Seo Seung Un make him the clear benchmark. 1st Pick 6 Aegis Crown Jockey: Seo Seung Un Trainer: Bart Rice J: Seo Seung Un T: Bart Rice	125	-	-	-	53%	10/11

4	Produced the right response at this track four weeks ago, beating Columbia Champ by a head after settling handy and finding enough late. His previous sixth was plain, beaten over 10 lengths, but the latest win fits with a solid overall record and he has three wins plus six placings from 20 starts at this distance. With Chae Sang Hyun effective aboard, he rates a genuine winning threat. 2nd Pick 4 Doctor City Jockey: Chae Sang Hyun Trainer: Park Jae Ho J: Chae Sang Hyun T: Park Jae Ho	162	-	-	-	23%	7/2

1	Was second last at this track two weeks ago, beaten over 11 lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. That was a sharp drop from his start-prior win at this venue, where he led and beat Beolmaui Ace by two lengths at long odds. He is proven at this track and distance, but the latest run makes him a place chance rather than a reliable win play. 3rd Pick 1 Golden Jockey: Choi Eun Gyeong Trainer: Cho Yong Bae J: Choi Eun Gyeong T: Cho Yong Bae	213	-	-	-	20%	4/1
