Verdict

GWANAKSAN SKY (8) is the one to beat after stringing together wins at this track, the latest by two lengths as a well-supported favourite from Queen Dia. His broader record is the major point of difference, with five wins from seven starts overall and a prior win at around 7f already banked. HYEUKMUSANG (1) brings the clearest threat, having won by a nose here as favourite and carried strong form through a third behind Flying Honor before that. His track-and-distance and jockey record make him a serious danger. BEOLGYOUI STAR (4) has been well beaten at his past two over 1 ?m, so the sharp response has to come, but four wins at this track keep him in calculations. YONGBI TAEYANG (2) was plain behind Hyeukmusang last start, yet his 7f record gives him a pathway into the minor end if he rebounds.

1	Returns from a five-week let-up after scoring by a nose at this track as favourite, tracking the speed and holding off Songdang Hwangtaeja. He had also run third behind Flying Honor on soft ground the start prior, beaten two and a half lengths, so the form has substance. Two wins from five at this track and distance, plus an excellent record with Luis Felipe Quiroz Martinez, make him a major winning player. 2nd Pick 1 Hyeukmusang Jockey: Luis Felipe Quiroz Martinez Trainer: Ham Wan Sik J: Luis Felipe Quiroz Martinez T: Ham Wan Sik	178	-	-	-	50%	1/1

4	Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing eighth over 1m at this track, beaten over 10 lengths when unable to offer much when it mattered. He was also safely held over the same trip the start prior, but four wins and three places from 16 starts at this venue stop him being dismissed completely. The first attempt around 7f is the question, so a place result looks the realistic aim. 3rd Pick 4 Beolgyoui Star Jockey: Jeong Jeong Hee Trainer: An Byung Ki J: Jeong Jeong Hee T: An Byung Ki	92	-	-	-	6%	18/1
