Verdict

TEUKGEUP GISANG (6) is the one to beat after doing everything right on debut, winning a COND A over 6f at this venue by four lengths as a well-supported favourite. She returns after five weeks, remains unbeaten at both track and distance, and there is clear scope for further improvement second-up. INFLATION (2) also brings an unbeaten profile, having scored by a head in a COND A at this track on soft ground as favourite, so he rates the main danger with that race experience behind him. G B ACE (8) has the deeper grounding, progressing from a close second to a five-length COND A win as odds-on favourite, and his 6f record gives him a genuine winning case. AFLEET RUN (5) is still chasing a first win, but his latest third, beaten a length and a half, puts him in the mix for a minor end of the prize.

6	Returns after five weeks off a dominant debut win in a COND A over 6f at this track, scoring by four lengths as a well-supported favourite on soft ground. She kicked strongly after controlling the race and immediately established herself as one of the best recent-form runners in this field. Unbeaten at the venue and distance, she has the right profile to keep progressing and win again. 1st Pick 6 Teukgeup Gisang Jockey: O Su Cheol Trainer: Lee Dong Kook J: O Su Cheol T: Lee Dong Kook	109	-	-	-	27%	11/4

2	Returns from a two-month let-up after making a winning debut in a COND A over 6f at this track, beating Geumbit Yeongung by a head on soft ground as favourite. He led there and showed enough professionalism to hold the result, which is a strong platform for a lightly raced colt. With one start for one win at both this track and distance, he remains a major winning chance. 2nd Pick 2 Inflation Jockey: Lim Gi Won Trainer: Song Moon Gil J: Lim Gi Won T: Song Moon Gil	132	-	-	-	37%	7/4

8	Produced his best run yet when winning a COND A over 6f at this track by five lengths, justifying odds-on favouritism on good ground. He had been second to Wonder Grace the start prior, beaten just under two lengths after being run down late, so the improvement was well signposted. Still early in his career and already effective at the trip, he is a genuine winning threat. 3rd Pick 8 G B Ace Jockey: Furkan Yuksel Trainer: Luigi-Salvatore Riccardi J: Furkan Yuksel T: Luigi-Salvatore Riccardi	209	-	-	-	19%	9/2
