Verdict

GANGSEO TREND (6) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by 1.3 lengths over 7f. Jo In Kwon who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Should be hard to stop. TUHON FIGHTER (3) returned to winning form last start, scoring by 2.5 lengths over this journey at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins and three placings. Rates highly and can measure up. GYEONGBOK STREGA (11) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1 ?m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. SENSATIONAL WIN (2) ran a better race last start, finishing 4 lengths away in fourth over 1m at this track. Worth noting Park Jae I goes aboard. Better than recent efforts suggest.
