Verdict

CLUTCH WORLD (2) has made the right start to his career, placing on debut before winning over 7f at this track as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. He is untried around 1 ¹/16m, but his professionalism, race fitness and class-drop profile give him the clearest winning case. VICTORY SECRET (1) is the main danger after sweeping home to win by five lengths over 6 ½f in COND A grade, with the same rider retained and barrier one adding to the appeal despite the new trip. STORM LIGHT (5) resumes off a plain ninth, but her broader track record is sound and she has enough 12-month form to bounce back sharply. CLUB MAN (11) was beaten over 19 lengths last start, so that has to be forgiven, yet his proven track-and-trip record and better run two back keep him in the place mix.

2	Lightly-raced colt who has done plenty right in two starts, following a debut third with a half-length win over 7f at this track as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. He led that day and controlled the race well, with Breedo Epic held safely enough. The 1 ¹/16m is new territory, but he is third-up, drops in class and brings the most reliable profile in the race. He sets a strong benchmark. 1st Pick 2 Clutch World Jockey: Kim Hyo Jung Trainer: Luigi-Salvatore Riccardi J: Kim Hyo Jung T: Luigi-Salvatore Riccardi	164	-	-	-	43%	11/8

1	Produced a decisive last-start win over 6 ½f at this track, coming from well back to beat Mask Man by five lengths in COND A grade. That was a clear lift on her seventh behind Delta Eagle two runs earlier when unwanted at long odds. The new 1 ¹/16m trip is the obvious query, but she drops in class, draws barrier one and reunites with the winning rider. A major winning chance if she runs the journey. 2nd Pick 1 Victory Secret Jockey: Kim A Hyun Trainer: Kang Hwan Min J: Kim A Hyun T: Kang Hwan Min	139	-	-	-	20%	4/1

5	Returns from a three-month break after a disappointing ninth over 7f at this track, beaten over 15 lengths by Isimnyeon Sewol when well enough found in an open market. Her previous sixth behind Cheongongui Seom was far better, beaten just over three lengths. The overall record at this venue is sound, with one win and three places from nine starts, so she can rebound strongly fresh. 3rd Pick 5 Storm Light Jockey: Seo Seung Un Trainer: Park Jee Heon J: Seo Seung Un T: Park Jee Heon	115	-	-	-	11%	17/2
