Verdict

CASTELLA (2) resumes after four months and brings the best starting point from his debut fourth at this track, where he was beaten seven and a half lengths by Hope K after settling well back. Barrier 2 and Kim Yong Geun are positives, and while 6f is new territory, he has enough race experience to set the standard. EAST WINNER (5) has a stronger exposed placing, having run third on debut behind A.K Jun, but has to put a well-beaten eighth behind him. CLUTCH CHAMP (4) debuts with Lee Dong Ha booked and has a useful family profile through winners such as Mr Pickles and Dialherup. HERO MITOLE (8) is by Mitole from Bourbon Kitty, with HPNOTIQ RHYTHM among the winning relatives, and appeals as a debutant capable of landing in the placings despite barrier 8.
