Verdict

DOCTOR CAPTAIN (3) gets the nod on the strength of a solid body of 1 ?m form and a reliable record around this trip, having placed six times from nine starts at about 1 ¼m. His latest fifth at this track reads better than the margin, as he charged home and caught the eye, while the Busan third two back keeps him right in this. GEUMA GUTTY (2) is the immediate threat after finishing second to Hey Brother at this track, and his record with Jin Kyum gives him a strong platform despite an unplaced prior try around 1 ¼m. HONORED KHAN (9) has been holding form well, placed first-up at this venue and brings strong recent-season figures, though the 1 ¼m is new. EOHWADUNGDUNG (10) was fourth at big odds behind the same winner last start and has won three times in the past 12 months, with the untried trip the main qualification.

3	Back after five weeks following a fifth at this track where he was beaten over 10 lengths but charged home late and caught the eye. That followed a Busan third over 1m, and his broader profile is solid with five wins and 15 places from 42 starts. Six placings from nine tries around 1 ¼m read well for this, and that staying reliability makes him the one to beat. 1st Pick 3 Doctor Captain Jockey: Park Jae I Trainer: Baik Kwang Yeol J: Park Jae I T: Baik Kwang Yeol	118	-	-	-	12%	8/1

2	Returns off a five-week freshening after a sound second at this track over 1m, beaten four lengths by Hey Brother at generous odds. He had been fifth at Busan the run prior, but his overall place record is strong and Jin Kyum has one win and three places from four rides on him. The 1 ¼m is not fully proven, yet his latest effort makes him a major player. 2nd Pick 2 Geuma Gutty Jockey: Jin Kyum Trainer: Lee Sang Young J: Jin Kyum T: Lee Sang Young	176	-	-	-	17%	5/1

9	Returns off a five-week freshening after placing first-up at this track, finishing third to Hey Brother and beating Doctor Captain home. He had earlier run second at Busan over 1m, and his past 12 months read well with two wins and four places from eleven starts. The first attempt around 1 ¼m is the hurdle, but his consistency keeps him among the clear winning chances. 3rd Pick 9 Honored Khan Jockey: Lee Sung Jae Trainer: Kang Hyoung Gon J: Lee Sung Jae T: Kang Hyoung Gon	98	-	-	-	19%	9/2
