Korea Seoul - Race 9

SUN DOLPUNG (8) is the one to beat after breaking through decisively at this venue, beating Saeroun Bisul by three lengths after looming up and putting the race away. That was a clear step forward from his previous 1m fourth, and the return to 6 ½f now looks a proven platform rather than a question. SUPREME DIA (10) is still a maiden, but her latest fourth behind Purple Korea was a much better effort after she had been safely held in COND A company two back, and she appeals as the main danger with further improvement available. CHEONGHAE STAR (1) is the reliable form runner, beaten a nose last time after a solid third the run prior, with her track-and-distance record keeping her right in the winning conversation. ARION QUEEN CAR (6) was plain over 1m last start, but her prior second when run down late reads well enough back to 6 ½f for a genuine place-and-upside profile.
