Verdict

CHAMPUI HEUIMANG (6) brings the most appealing blend of recent form and 1 ?m evidence, with his fourth at this track behind Brown Choco full of merit after he charged home from well back and was beaten three and a half lengths. He had also been second to Win Now at this venue and has placed once from two tries at around this distance, so he has the right profile to take beating. TWOTWO SPACE (4) is the obvious danger after winning a COND A over 1m at this track, beating Lupinus by half a length on soft ground, and the class drop, weight relief and returning winning rider all help offset the first try at 1 ?m. DORAON SAMSON (1) is hard to dismiss from barrier 1 after a second and fourth at this venue, though six previous 1 ?m attempts for one placing leave a trip query. WONDERFUL TEAM (3) comes off a distant third at Yeongcheon, carries only 112lbs and gets a claim, making her a place chance with some upside if she handles 1 ?m first time.

6	Returns after two months off following a strong fourth at this track over 1m, beaten three and a half lengths by Brown Choco after settling back and charging through the line. He had earlier run second to Win Now at this venue, beaten just under two lengths, and has already placed once from two tries around 1m. With a track win on the record and the best distance profile of the main hopes, he looks the horse to beat. 1st Pick 6 Champui Heuimang Jockey: Masa Tanaka Trainer: Kang Eun Seok J: Masa Tanaka T: Kang Eun Seok	90	-	-	-	31%	9/4

4	Comes off the right last-start reference, winning a COND A over 1m at this track by half a length from Lupinus after rolling forward and holding on under pressure. The run prior had merit too, closing off from back in the field when fifth behind Yeonggwangui Hope. He now gets weight relief, drops from COND A company and reunites with the winning rider, giving him a strong winning case despite the new 1m test. 2nd Pick 4 Twotwo Space Jockey: Jin Kyum Trainer: Kang Hyoung Gon J: Jin Kyum T: Kang Hyoung Gon	208	-	-	-	27%	11/4

1	Has been around the mark without winning, finishing fourth at this track last start behind One Plus One after holding his spot and picking up through the line. The start prior he led and ran second to Flying The Lucky, beaten seven lengths, so his recent profile is sound for this. Barrier 1 helps, but six previous 1m attempts for one placing keeps the trip as the main reservation rather than his current form. 3rd Pick 1 Doraon Samson Jockey: Chae Sang Hyun Trainer: Youn Young Hun J: Chae Sang Hyun T: Youn Young Hun	93	-	-	-	25%	3/1
