Verdict

CHOEGANG BELT (9) has the right profile to take this first-up. He was favourite on debut in a COND A at this track and still worked home well for third, beaten just over three lengths by Roshe, and the move into this race with weight relief reads positively. SAHARA KHAN (8) is the established danger, having finished third at both runs last campaign and carrying a strong overall record of two wins and three places from six starts. SAMJEONG SPIDER (5) brings the highest winning strike-rate, with three wins from four starts and two wins from two previous tries around 6f, although he has to rebound from a plain odds-on defeat before the break. GARAKAI (7) is still a maiden, but his second in COND A grade last start and a kinder setup give him a legitimate place-to-win hope if he can finish off more cleanly.

9	Returns from a lengthy spell after a debut third in COND A company at this track, beaten just over three lengths by Roshe as favourite. He worked home well to get into the placings that day and now comes into a more suitable race with weight relief for a leading stable. There is limited race evidence, but that first run already stacks up strongly enough to make him the one to beat. 1st Pick 9 Choegang Belt Jockey: Furkan Yuksel Trainer: Luigi-Salvatore Riccardi J: Furkan Yuksel T: Luigi-Salvatore Riccardi	103	-	-	-	40%	6/4
