Verdict

GOOGLE CAR (9) looks the horse to beat after holding third at this track last start, beaten three lengths by World Top Tier, and that followed a sharp Busan win over 6f when he beat Road To Number One by two and a half lengths. He is still chasing a win at around 7f, but two placings from three tries at the distance and a strong jockey-horse record keep his case firm. KISS THE RAIN (8) is the obvious danger after winning by nine lengths at this track last start, with the track-and-trip profile and leading local stable adding further weight. BORYEONGUIKWAESOK (6) was safely held when second here, but her overall record of two wins and one place from five starts gives her more upside than most. WORLD DANCER CAT (4) has a solid 7f record and her late work into fourth last start keeps her in the minor-winning mix if she reproduces that finish.

9	Comes through the right form, having run third at this track last start when beaten three lengths by World Top Tier after being close enough on the turn. That followed a Busan win over 6f, where he beat Road To Number One by two and a half lengths with a strong finish. A 7f win is still to come, but he has placed twice from three tries at the trip and reunites with a rider who suits him well. 1st Pick 9 Google Car Jockey: Kim Eu Soo Trainer: Koo Young Jun J: Kim Eu Soo T: Koo Young Jun	86	-	-	-	27%	11/4

8	Produced the standout last-start win, scoring at this track by nine lengths from Wind Sword after putting a big gap on the field. That made him one from one at this venue and he has a win plus two placings from three starts at the distance. The previous Busan run was plain, but this track-and-trip performance was too strong to dismiss, especially from a top-ranked local stable. 2nd Pick 8 Kiss The Rain Jockey: Seo Seung Un Trainer: Moon Hyeon Cheol J: Seo Seung Un T: Moon Hyeon Cheol	255	-	-	-	20%	4/1

6	Returns from a five-week let-up after a second at this track, beaten four lengths by Pilseung Yeoje after leading to the turn and being safely held. Her previous Busan fifth was also beaten four lengths after racing handy and not finishing off. Still, two wins and one place from five starts is a strong early record, and she has enough upside to be a genuine threat for the minors. 3rd Pick 6 Boryeonguikwaesok Jockey: Kim Dong Young Trainer: Lim Keum Man J: Kim Dong Young T: Lim Keum Man	91	-	-	-	20%	4/1
