Verdict

THE SUN STORY (2) brings the most reliable winning profile, having made it four wins from six starts with a last-start head victory as a well-supported favourite. Her record at this track is strong, she is one from one at the distance, and the Kim Hyo Jung partnership has been faultless from four rides. BEONGAE LEWIS (10) is the obvious danger on raw momentum, unbeaten in three starts and dominant when scoring by two lengths last time after an earlier four-length win on soft ground. The wide draw is the small query, but the form is hard to fault. M J CLASS (7) resumes after eight months and has not won yet, though her third to Lucky Boom two runs back reads well enough for this grade and she has placed at this track. GOOD MORNING COME (11) has been beaten just over five lengths and six and a half lengths at his past two, yet his three wins and three places from 13 starts at this venue keep him in the minor-winning mix.

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob	Odds
2	Returns after five weeks off a head win at this track, beating Navid as a well-supported favourite and taking her record to four wins from six starts. She had won by three lengths the start prior on soft ground after settling behind the leader, so the current form line is strong. Drawn to use her natural speed, proven at this distance and unbeaten in four rides for Kim Hyo Jung, she sets a clear winning standard. 1st Pick 2 The Sun Story Jockey: Kim Hyo Jung Trainer: Hong Yunwhoa J: Kim Hyo Jung T: Hong Yunwhoa	169	-	-	-	35%	15/8

10	Returns after five weeks with a perfect three-from-three career record, most recently beating Breedo Champion by two lengths at this track as an odds-on favourite. His previous win was even stronger, putting four lengths on Haksan Prince on soft ground. The wider draw is the only real concern, but he keeps producing decisive wins and remains a major threat to extend the streak. 2nd Pick 10 Beongae Lewis Jockey: Lee Hyeok Trainer: Tony Jean Castanheira J: Lee Hyeok T: Tony Jean Castanheira	156	-	-	-	25%	3/1

7	Returns from a lengthy eight-month spell after ending the last campaign with a fifth at this track, beaten just over nine lengths by Lady Fox when working home fairly without threatening. Her previous third to Lucky Boom was more encouraging, beaten two lengths in an open market, and she has placed at this venue. Still a maiden, but lightly raced and rated well enough to be a serious fresh player. 3rd Pick 7 M J Class Jockey: Kim Jeong Jun Trainer: Song Moon Gil J: Kim Jeong Jun T: Song Moon Gil	48	-	-	-	19%	9/2
