Verdict

NURI CHAMP (9) has the most appealing profile, being by Shackleford out of Jeongdeun-Ro and backed by a strong Hong Yunwhoa-Shackleford record of 9 wins from 35 starters with a 57% place rate. WAWA SOCKS (11) has the widest barrier, but the Luigi-Salvatore Riccardi stable is top-ranked for wins at this track and the trainer-sire figures with Colors Flying read soundly for a debut runner. WINNER RISING (5) draws more kindly in barrier 5 and comes from a Song Moon Gil yard with a 22% debut strike rate, while the Dia Power family includes Seoul winners King Warrior and Dia Powercat. AWESOME MORNING (10) has Lee Joon Chel, one of the leading trainers at this track, and a dam line that has already produced short-course winners, so he has enough in the profile to press the main hopes.

11	Debuts for Luigi-Salvatore Riccardi, the top-ranked trainer for wins at this track, and that stable strength is a major asset.
