Verdict

LUCKY JOY (9) sets the standard after a half-length second to Lucky Sunny at this track, having loomed and fought hard as favourite. His previous fourth, beaten just over a length by Jisan Label, keeps the recent form strong, and a proven track-and-distance record gives him the clearest winning profile. HYEOKMYEONGUIJILJU (7) is harder to read off a plain seventh on soft ground, but the class drop and her record of placing five times at this venue keep her in the main chances if she finds her better finish. POWER BEST (3) comes through a better last-start third behind Eodideunji and has been placed five times from twelve starts at this track, though 1 ¹/16m is new. WONDERFUL FOX (6) worked home evenly for third behind Bank Line and has place appeal, with the rise back to 1 ¹/16m the main qualification given her winless record around the trip.

9	Resumes off a five-week freshening after a strong second at this track, beaten half a length by Lucky Sunny when he loomed and fought hard as favourite. He was also brave the start prior when fourth to Jisan Label, beaten just over a length after being run down late. Proven at this track and distance and unbeaten from a place view with Lim Gi Won aboard, he brings the most reliable winning profile. 1st Pick 9 Lucky Joy Jockey: Lim Gi Won Trainer: Park Jae Woo J: Lim Gi Won T: Park Jae Woo	199	-	-	-	43%	11/8

7	Resumes off a five-week freshening after finishing seventh behind Munhak Bell on soft ground, where she was close enough but lacked the dash to compete. She had been nearer the top of an open market two back before finishing a distant fifth to Mighty Shine, so the recent form has some holes. Even so, the class drop matters, and five placings from 18 starts at this venue keep her among the stronger chances if she rebounds. 2nd Pick 7 Hyeokmyeonguijilju Jockey: Lim Da Bin Trainer: Bae Hou Jun J: Lim Da Bin T: Bae Hou Jun	72	-	-	-	7%	14/1

3	Improved into third over 6 ½f at this track last start, beaten just over two lengths by Eodideunji at generous odds and working home evenly. He was further away behind Clutch Derby two back, but the finishing effort again had some merit. The query is 1 ¹/16m for the first time, yet his consistent placing record at this venue and the class drop make him a live winning chance. 3rd Pick 3 Power Best Jockey: Kim Jeong Jun Trainer: Shim Seung Tae J: Kim Jeong Jun T: Shim Seung Tae	92	-	-	-	14%	13/2
