Verdict

WHITE THUNDER (8) is the clear horse to beat after making it two wins on end at this track, most recently scoring by six lengths as an odds-on favourite after a three-length COND A win the start prior. She has won two from three overall and remains with Asano Kazuya, who is two from two on her. MIGHTY HUNKY (10) is the main danger on profile, with two placings from three starts at this track and a class drop to offset the fact he is untried around 7f and was beaten nine and a half lengths last start. COMPLETE BRO (9) comes through a sound third over 6f, beaten just over two lengths, and has placed twice from five at this track and distance, so the extra ground gives him a workable platform. GEUMJEOKSAN (1) has finished fourth at her past two, but two wins and two placings from seven starts around 7f and Lee Dong Ha back aboard keep her in the minor-money mix.

Horse Stats

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob	Odds
8	Returns from a six-week let-up following a dominant six-length win at this track, where she started odds-on and maintained a clear margin throughout. That backed up a three-length COND A win over 5f the start prior, when she travelled strongly and put the race away. Two wins from three overall and two from two with Asano Kazuya make her the runner with the strongest winning platform. 1st Pick 8 White Thunder Jockey: Asano Kazuya Trainer: Choi Yong Geon J: Asano Kazuya T: Choi Yong Geon	204	-	-	-	34%	2/1

10	Was below market expectation when fifth in a COND A over 6f at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths after settling rearward. His previous third in Open company behind Hope K was sound enough, and the class drop is an important positive for a lightly raced colt with two placings from three starts at this venue. The first try around 7f is the query, but his upside keeps him right in the race. 2nd Pick 10 Mighty Hunky Jockey: R Maia Trainer: Seo Hongsoo J: R Maia T: Seo Hongsoo	144	-	-	-	31%	9/4

9	Ran a sound third to Singsing Nashe over 6f at this track last start, beaten just over two lengths after being near the top of an open market. The start prior was less convincing when sixth behind Wonpyeong Gangja, but his record around 7f includes a win and two placings, while he has placed twice from five at this track and distance. He still has to turn placings into a win, but the form gives him a live chance. 3rd Pick 9 Complete Bro Jockey: Lim Gi Won Trainer: Kang Sung O J: Lim Gi Won T: Kang Sung O	95	-	-	-	13%	7/1
