Verdict

POWERFUL ARCTIC (8) has the strongest claims after being well-supported favourite and winning by three lengths in COND A company at this track last start. Her record at this track and distance is a major advantage, with one win and two placings from four attempts, and the drop back into this Handicap gives her a clear form edge. BLACK SUN (1) is the main danger after being pipped by Black Mama last start despite being unwanted in the market, and her consistency at this venue keeps her right in the contest, though she is still chasing a first win. SKYLOR TAEHA (5) resumes second-up after beating Excalibur in COND A grade and has shown enough in a short career to be treated as a genuine winning chance, with the step to 1 ¹/16m the key question. K SOCKS (4) was plain last start, but his COND A win two back at this track and the return of the winning rider give him a sound place profile if he handles 1 ¹/16m for the first time.

8	Returns from six weeks off following a dominant COND A win at this track, scoring by three lengths as a well-supported favourite and beating Nuri Eutteum with real authority late. That built neatly on a third to Club Man when near the top of betting, and her track-and-distance profile is the strongest in the race with one win and two placings from four starts. She sets the standard and is the one they have to beat. 1st Pick 8 Powerful Arctic Jockey: Song Jae Chul Trainer: Seo In Seok J: Song Jae Chul T: Seo In Seok	130	-	-	-	48%	11/10

1	Went within half a length of Black Mama at this track last start, pipped late after being unwanted in the market, and that followed a solid third here behind Sinhan Ace when near the top of an open market. The knock is the 1 ¹/16m record, with no wins from six attempts at around this trip, but she keeps finding the frame and from barrier 1 profiles as a strong winning chance despite that query. 2nd Pick 1 Black Sun Jockey: Lim Da Bin Trainer: Jung Ho Ik J: Lim Da Bin T: Jung Ho Ik	110	-	-	-	25%	3/1

5	Back after two months off following a first-up COND A win at this track, where he beat Excalibur by half a length and was prominent in an open market. His earlier fourth to Energy Power also had merit, closing from an unlikely position to be beaten just under two lengths. He rises to 1 ¹/16m after one unplaced try around the trip, but the class set-up and recent win keep him a major chance. 3rd Pick 5 Skylor Taeha Jockey: Johan Victoire Trainer: Jung Haback J: Johan Victoire T: Jung Haback	115	-	-	-	19%	9/2
