Verdict

JEONGSANG HERO (10) is the one to beat on the strength of his six-length win over Songdang Sky two runs back at this track, and his latest fourth behind Gamsaui Him is easier to accept given he was sent out favourite and was only run down late. The return to 1 ?m suits a colt already proven at around the trip. NICE WINNER (2) resumes as the main threat after ending last campaign with a seven-length win over Matterhorn K at this venue, and his overall record points to a horse who rarely runs poorly. SHINING ROAD (1) brings race fitness, a last-start win at this track and a strong 1 ?m profile, so he is a genuine winning player from the inside draw. SEOBU CHAMP (9) has been beaten big margins lately, but her latest third contained a strong finish and she has two wins from six starts at this track and distance.

10	Had his colours lowered as favourite when fourth behind Gamsaui Him over 1m last start, but he was still in the contest late and that followed a commanding six-length win over Songdang Sky at this track on soft ground. He has already won around 1m, owns a strong track record, and the winning rider is back aboard. With race fitness on his side, he sets the standard to beat. 1st Pick 10 Jeongsang Hero Jockey: Andre Luiz Da Silva Trainer: Kang Hwan Min J: Andre Luiz Da Silva T: Kang Hwan Min	170	-	-	-	19%	9/2

2	Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing last campaign with a dominant seven-length win over Matterhorn K at this track as odds-on favourite. He had earlier fought on for second behind Uwa and has missed the top four only rarely, with two wins and four placings from nine starts. Having beaten Jeongsang Hero earlier in the campaign, he resumes with the form depth to be right in the winning mix. 2nd Pick 2 Nice Winner Jockey: Jang Chu Youl Trainer: Moon Byeong Ki J: Jang Chu Youl T: Moon Byeong Ki	98	-	-	-	31%	9/4

1	Led and kept going strongly to beat Tina K by a length and a half at this track last start as favourite, confirming the consistency he had shown when third to Gwanaksan Sky on soft ground the run prior. His 1m record is reliable, with two wins and four placings from nine tries, and Choi Bum Hyun has a good record on him. Drawn to use his speed, he has the right profile to be a major winning chance again. 3rd Pick 1 Shining Road Jockey: Choi Bum Hyun Trainer: Seong Sanghyun J: Choi Bum Hyun T: Seong Sanghyun	145	-	-	-	10%	10/1
