Verdict

DAESEONG GOLD (4) is worth another chance despite being beaten just over six lengths as favourite behind Union Champ last start, with his overall profile still the most appealing: four wins and two places from nine starts, three wins this season and a prior win around 7f. WORLD TOP TIER (1) brings the cleanest last-start form after winning by two and a half lengths at this track as a well-supported favourite, and the inside draw with weight relief gives her another strong platform. GREAT TOP (6) was a decisive winner over 6f at this venue last start and has the Song Keong Yun partnership to recommend him, though he has to carry that form back to 7f. UNION CHAMP (3) beat Daeseong Gold at this track when charging home from well back at odds, and while she must prove that was no one-off, her record around 7f keeps her firmly in the mix.

4	Brings the strongest overall profile, with four wins and two places from only nine starts and three wins already this season. He was disappointing as favourite when fifth behind Union Champ at this track last start, and the Busan run before that was plain, but he is fitter third-up and has already won around 7f. His best form gives him the strongest winning case. 1st Pick 4 Daeseong Gold Jockey: Jo In Kwon Trainer: Gu Min Sung J: Jo In Kwon T: Gu Min Sung	118	-	-	-	37%	7/4

1	Returned to form strongly last start, winning at this track by two and a half lengths as a well-supported favourite and keeping plenty in reserve after taking it up. The previous Busan run over 1m was poor, but the switch back to this venue clearly sparked improvement. With two wins around 7f, barrier one and weight relief, she has the right profile to be a major winning threat again. 2nd Pick 1 World Top Tier Jockey: Jung Do Yun Trainer: Son Byoung Jig J: Jung Do Yun T: Son Byoung Jig	94	-	-	-	31%	9/4

6	Bounced back sharply at this track last start, winning over 6f by two lengths after being an outside chance in the betting. That followed a costly failure as a well-supported favourite, so consistency is the one reservation. The rise back to 7f is within range on his record, and three wins with Song Keong Yun aboard make him a strong danger. 3rd Pick 6 Great Top Jockey: Song Keong Yun Trainer: Choi Ki Hong J: Song Keong Yun T: Choi Ki Hong	133	-	-	-	13%	7/1
