Verdict

CLUTCH WINNER (8) scored two back at this track but was below his best last time when sixth over 6f at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. TUHON FIGHTER (4) got home by 2.5 lengths last time out over 1m at this track. Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Winning rider Lee Hyo Sik stays aboard. Should be in the finish. FLYING CROWN (11) is having his first run since winning by half a length six-and-a-half weeks ago over 7f at this track. Has transferred to the Kim Hye Sun stable over the break. Can measure up for the new barn. AIR CITY (5) scored last start at this track to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Should give backers a sight.
