Verdict

FASHION STAR (10) has the profile to improve sharply second-up, with the 9lbs apprentice claim, light weight and strong record at this track all pointing the right way. Her fresh run was only fair when seventh behind Primero, but she was placed before the break and has enough 1 ¹/16m substance to justify top billing. SONGDANG SKY (5) brings the cleanest recent form, having won by seven lengths two starts back before running second on soft ground, and her season record reads well for this grade. PASA SPARK (1) has to rebound from a plain sixth behind Infinite Honor, but her prior second behind Global Computing and proven 1 ¹/16m record keep her firmly in calculations. NAVID (9) was beaten only a head last start and has a track-and-distance win, so he is the obvious knockout if he repeats that latest effort.

10	Second-up now and gets a strong set-up with weight relief, a 9lbs apprentice claim and a proven record at this track and distance. She was seventh behind Primero when fresh, beaten just over seven lengths after finding little late, but that run should bring her on and she had been placed behind Theme Tansaeng before the break. With three wins at this venue and three wins around 1 ¹/16m, she is the horse to beat. 1st Pick 10 Fashion Star Jockey: Jo Seonghwan Trainer: Lee Shin Woo J: Jo Seonghwan T: Lee Shin Woo	90	-	-	-	27%	11/4

5	Returns from a six-week let-up in excellent overall form, having followed a seven-length win over Black Mama with a second at this track behind Jeongsang Hero. She was beaten six lengths there but still held minor money after being prominent enough to make an impact. Two wins and two placings from five starts this season underline her reliability, and she has the right 1 ¹/16m profile to go close again. 2nd Pick 5 Songdang Sky Jockey: Yoo Seung-Wan Trainer: Baek Jongsu J: Yoo Seung-Wan T: Baek Jongsu	103	-	-	-	25%	3/1

1	Returns from a five-week let-up after a disappointing sixth at this track, where she was near the top of betting but was beaten a long way behind Infinite Honor and made no headway. Her previous second to Global Computing was much stronger, beaten half a length after finishing strongly. She is a track-and-trip winner with a solid 1 ¹/16m record, and the blinkers going on can help her bounce back into winning calculations. 3rd Pick 1 Pasa Spark Jockey: Lee Dong Ha Trainer: Seo Hongsoo J: Lee Dong Ha T: Seo Hongsoo	122	-	-	-	25%	3/1
