Races CRO Seoul - KOR

Returns from a two-month let-up after going close at this venue, finishing second to Crazy Star and beaten half a length after being just unable to hold on. He had also run second here the start prior, albeit beaten four lengths by Royal Socks at generous odds. The 1200m record shows more placings than wins, but third-up and drawn inside, he has a solid profile for the multiples.

Was fourth in Open company at this track last start but the margin was nine lengths and she was unwanted at long odds. Her previous third behind Crazy Star came after making ground from well back, yet she was still beaten five and a half lengths. The class drop is some help, though her track-and-distance record is thin and stronger winning claims sit elsewhere.

Returns from a five-week let-up after two plain fourths on soft ground at this venue, beaten just under five lengths last start and five and a half lengths two back. He has won at this track and distance and gets a leading track jockey aboard, but he has been settling rearward and not making enough late impact. A sharper finish is required to trouble the better chances.

Returns from a four-month spell after ending last campaign with a third at this venue, beaten just over three lengths after settling rearward. The run prior was plain over 1600m when beaten ten lengths at long odds, so the profile is mixed. His 1200m record includes one win and six placings, and the 2kg claim assists, but he shapes more as a place chance fresh.

Bounced back strongly last start, beating G Flex by a length and a half at this venue after travelling within striking range and putting the race away well. That was a sharp turnaround from a ninth behind Storm Crown when beaten over 11 lengths, so consistency remains the query. Proven at this track and distance and down in the weights, he is a genuine place hope if holding form.

Comes through two strong runs at this venue, winning from Hwasangwihwan two starts ago before finishing third behind Run Wild, beaten a length and a half. He was prominent in both markets and has been racing as though another win is close. His track-and-distance record is more reliable for placings than wins, but current form makes him one of the main winning chances.

Returns from a six-week let-up after a much better third at this venue, beaten just over half a length by Maeum Hana after making the running and only being collared late. That answered, at least partly, the concern from his heavy defeat two back. He gets in with 51kg, has three wins at the track and distance, and his record with this jockey keeps him high among the winning hopes.

Put a strong platform under this with a dominant win at this venue two starts ago, beating Jeongwangseokhwa by six lengths, then was sound when fifth over 1400m and beaten two and a half lengths behind Cheongung Storm. He returns to the 1200m where he has already won, comes here fourth-up, and his recent form is the best overall package in the race.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing fifth behind Hero Cheetah, beaten six lengths, when he loomed but could not go on. His previous fifth was much worse, beaten a long way after being near the top of betting, which makes him hard to trust. Two wins at this track and distance keep him in the wider mix, but he requires a clear form rebound.

Returns from a two-month let-up after consecutive heavy defeats at this venue, finishing seventh over 1400m and beaten over 15 lengths, then seventh over 1600m and beaten over 17 lengths. He has won at this track and distance and the shorter trip is a better fit, but there was no clear excuse last time. He must lift sharply to threaten this field.

Returns from a three-month spell after finishing second at his final run before a break, beaten just over a length by Hero Cheetah when sent out favourite. He had earlier beaten Mucho Macho Rapido by two lengths at this venue, showing a reliable level of form. The wide draw is the main complication, but his record with R Maia makes him a serious place contender fresh.
