Verdict

BREATHLESS (7) produced the clearest piece of recent form when winning on debut at this track by over 11 lengths in COND A company, and he now comes back in grade with the winning rider staying aboard. The 7f is new territory, but the authority of that first-up win gives him the strongest winning profile. JEONGMUN SKIP (5) is the proven closer in the market after missing by a nose at Yeongcheon, and he should be at peak fitness third-up, though his overall maiden record keeps him just behind the top pick. TOHAMSAN DRAGON (6) was sound when third first-up over 6f and is better suited rising back to 7f, where his record is stronger than most of these. HAERANG RUBY (8) has to rebound from a heavy defeat, but blinkers go on, the winning rider returns and his early form leaves him as a credible placing chance.
