Verdict

GEUMA ADEPT (1) looks the horse to beat after a narrow second to Wind Winner at this track, having won by six lengths the start prior, and his record of two wins and one placing from five runs at this track and distance gives him the right foundation. PACHAMAMA (2) has to rebound from a plain ninth at Yeongcheon, but her earlier second to Clutch Winner at this venue reads strongly and her five wins and seven placings from 13 starts at this track and distance keep her right in the argument. RACE MAN (5) resumes with a solid 6f profile and was only beaten just over a length behind Clutch Winner when last seen, so he has the form to run well fresh. CLUTCH WINNER (3) was below his best at Yeongcheon, yet his prior win over Pachamama at this track and a four-from-six venue record make him a genuine threat if he returns to that level.

2	Failed to fire as favourite at Yeongcheon last start, finishing ninth and beaten over 11 lengths after travelling just off the speed but offering little.
