Korea Seoul - Race 1

SAMJEONG RACE (5) has the right profile to go one better after debuting with a sound second at this track, beaten a length and a half by Thunder Mata while near the top of betting. That market respect and his 100% placing record at the distance make him the one to beat. GWANAKSAN JUMP (2) resumes after a single run, when fourth at this track behind Taepyeong Sg, and has enough exposed form to be a genuine danger if he returns more switched on. FIRE TIGER (3) arguably brings the sharpest last-start margin, having run second at big odds and missed by only a neck behind Special Sunshine. That puts him right in the winning mix. SLING SMILE (8) disappointed as favourite last start but his earlier third at this venue gives him a realistic place platform if he rebounds.
