Verdict

HWASAN POKPAL (2) has the right form profile to resume as the one to beat, having ended last campaign with a determined win at this track after being narrowly beaten by Victory Socks the run prior. He has already won at this track and distance, and his record with Jang Chu Youl adds further substance. STORM CROWN (5) is the obvious danger after finishing second to Korean Dream last start, and his one win and two places from six starts at this track and distance read well for this. MUCHO MACHO RAPIDO (9) brings winning form after beating Raon The Affirmed by five lengths and is two wins and three places from nine starts at this track and distance, with Kim Yong Geun having an excellent record aboard him. GEOSEN BIGMAN (7) has not yet won, but consecutive placings and a light weight give him a genuine place-and-upset profile.

2	Returns from a five-month break after ending last campaign with a fighting win at this track, beating Smart Take by half a length as favourite. He had been second to Victory Socks the run prior, again well found in betting, so the form pattern is reliable. Already a winner at this track and distance and has placed in all three starts with Jang Chu Youl, making him the clear benchmark fresh. 1st Pick 2 Hwasan Pokpal Jockey: Jang Chu Youl Trainer: An Byung Ki J: Jang Chu Youl T: An Byung Ki	76	-	-	-	3%	48/1

5	Returns from a six-week let-up after a solid second to Korean Dream at this track, beaten four lengths while near the top of an open market. His previous fifth over 7f was better than the finishing position, beaten only two and a half lengths by Cheongung Storm. With one win and two places from six starts at this track and distance, he has the right credentials to press hard. 2nd Pick 5 Storm Crown Jockey: Asano Kazuya Trainer: Tony Jean Castanheira J: Asano Kazuya T: Tony Jean Castanheira	118	-	-	-	29%	5/2

9	Made a strong statement last start, beating Raon The Affirmed by five lengths at this track after being only an outside chance in betting. That followed a third to Phantom Prince when he was poised to strike before tiring late. Two wins and three places from nine starts at this track and distance, plus an excellent record with Kim Yong Geun, make him a major winning threat. 3rd Pick 9 Mucho Macho Rapido Jockey: Kim Yong Geun Trainer: Park Byeong Il J: Kim Yong Geun T: Park Byeong Il	204	-	-	-	34%	2/1
