Verdict

TRIPLE J (3) earns top billing after a much sharper fourth at this track last start, when beaten four and a half lengths by Tipping Point and doing his best work late. He has already won at around 6f and Lee Sung Jae has a win from three rides on him, so he brings the clearest recent form and the right distance profile. SAENAE HILL (1) is harder to trust on exposed margins, but she is third-up, blinkers go on and she has placed three times at the trip, which keeps her right in the contest. REMENT (6) was beaten over 11 lengths first-up, yet the 112lbs and apprentice claim give him a better platform if he can lift second-up. UNIJOA (2) has also been well held, but his broader 12-month rating and race fitness make him a realistic place hope if he sharpens at 6f.

3	Lifted sharply last start when fourth at this track, beaten four and a half lengths by Tipping Point, and his late work was the strongest pointer in this field. He had been well held over 7f the run prior, but the return to 6f suits better on his record. With a previous win at the distance and a winning association with Lee Sung Jae, he brings the most persuasive winning case. 1st Pick 3 Triple J Jockey: Lee Sung Jae Trainer: Lim Keum Man J: Lee Sung Jae T: Lim Keum Man	169	-	-	-	56%

1	Comes to the third run of the campaign with blinkers going on, which gives her a more positive set-up than the bare form suggests. She was second last here last start, beaten just over nine lengths by Race Nine, after settling well back and never making an impression. The run prior was also plain, but she has placed at 6f and from barrier one can improve enough to be a genuine winning threat in this field. 2nd Pick 1 Saenae Hill Jockey: Yoon Hyung Seok Trainer: Cho Yong Bae J: Yoon Hyung Seok T: Cho Yong Bae	108	-	-	-	13%

6	Resumed with a seventh at this track, beaten over 11 lengths by Seraph, and will have to show more second-up. His previous run at Busan was another plain effort after giving away a big start, so the form line is modest. The positives are the 112lbs, the apprentice claim and a kinder place profile in this field, though his recent record still makes the win case limited. 3rd Pick 6 Rement Jockey: Lee Hong Rag Trainer: An Woo Sung J: Lee Hong Rag T: An Woo Sung	92	-	-	-	12%
