Verdict

THE SUN STORY (3) is the horse to beat after stretching her winning streak to five with a four-length win over M J Class at this track, and her record at around 1 ?m is faultless from three attempts. Kim Hyo Jung has won five from five on her, so the profile is powerful. MUJEOK HAMDAE (8) is the main danger on depth of form: last start was below his best, but the start prior third behind Beolgyo Aladdin was much sharper and his track-and-distance record reads well. STUNNING FLATTER (7) lacks the same winning strike-rate, yet his recent placings and solid first-up fourth make him a genuine winning threat if he finds a little more at the right stage. DAEHAN POWER (1) returns off a two-month break with strong overall numbers, a track-and-trip win and barrier 1, though his last-start second was still beaten over 12 lengths.

3	Made it five wins in a row when beating M J Class by four lengths at this track, travelling like the winner and maintaining a clear advantage. That followed a head win over Navid as a well-supported favourite, so she has shown both dominance and determination. With three wins from three around 1m and Kim Hyo Jung unbeaten in five rides on her, she sets the standard and remains the one they have to beat. 1st Pick 3 The Sun Story Jockey: Kim Hyo Jung Trainer: Hong Yunwhoa J: Kim Hyo Jung T: Hong Yunwhoa	147	-	-	-	37%	7/4

8	Was below his best when fifth behind Ninja Tiger at this track, beaten just over nine lengths, but the start prior third to Beolgyo Aladdin was a much better guide. He has one win and two placings from five starts at this track and distance, plus three wins in the past 12 months. With weight relief and a proven 1m profile, he deserves another chance as a strong winning player. 2nd Pick 8 Mujeok Hamdae Jockey: Francisco Da Silva Trainer: Lee Shin Woo J: Francisco Da Silva T: Lee Shin Woo	120	-	-	-	20%	4/1

7	Returns from a six-week freshening after a sound fourth behind King Master at this track, beaten just over five lengths at generous odds. His earlier third behind Hyeukmusang was stronger, beaten only a length and a half in an open market. The win strike-rate is modest, but two wins and eleven placings from 24 starts show reliability, and that consistency gives him a genuine winning chance. 3rd Pick 7 Stunning Flatter Jockey: R Maia Trainer: Kim Dong Kyun J: R Maia T: Kim Dong Kyun	85	-	-	-	15%	6/1
