Verdict

WONPYEONG GANGJA (3) is clearly the horse to beat after putting together a second to Breedo Caley and then a two-and-a-half-length win over Namsan Minam at this track. His record at this track and distance is reliable and the latest win was achieved near the top of betting, which adds substance to the form. YOUNG FIGHTER (11) is the main threat after going under by only a head to Win Catcher last time and his repeated placings around 7f keep him right in the argument. EVER GLORY (5) has the sharper upside, with two wins from five starts at this venue and a class drop in her favour, though 7f is new territory. NAMSAN MINAM (9) has strong track-and-distance figures and a claim to help, but he was safely held by Wonpyeong Gangja last time and has that margin to turn around.

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob	Odds
3	Returns from a two-month freshening as the clear form runner, having beaten Namsan Minam by two and a half lengths at this track after travelling strongly and putting the race away. That followed a close second to Breedo Caley, so his current campaign reads very well. With a reliable track-and-distance record and the same successful rider back aboard, he sets the standard and deserves top billing. 1st Pick 3 Wonpyeong Gangja Jockey: Andre Luiz Da Silva Trainer: Ham Wan Sik J: Andre Luiz Da Silva T: Ham Wan Sik	147	-	-	-	25%	3/1

11	Back after six weeks following a narrow second at this track, where he fought hard and was beaten only a head by Win Catcher as one of the leading market hopes. His fifth two back was plain, but the broader record is consistent and he has placed three times from four attempts at this track and distance. With solid rider-horse figures as well, he looks a genuine winning threat. 2nd Pick 11 Young Fighter Jockey: Lee Hyeok Trainer: Lee Dong Kook J: Lee Hyeok T: Lee Dong Kook	121	-	-	-	25%	3/1

5	Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fifth over 6f at this track, beaten three and a half lengths from big odds. The first try at around 7f is the obvious question, especially after being last two back, but her broader profile is stronger than those defeats read: two wins from five starts at this venue and a class drop in her favour. She can rebound sharply in this company. 3rd Pick 5 Ever Glory Jockey: Yoo Seung-Wan Trainer: Park Jee Heon J: Yoo Seung-Wan T: Park Jee Heon	102	-	-	-	8%	12/1
