Verdict

MAX LEVEL (6) is the clear pick after missing by a nose at this track last start, when he was sent out a short odds-on favourite and only just collared by Powerful Warrior. The rise to 6f is the one question, but he has the best exposed recent form and his third-up profile gives him a strong winning platform. STORM WINNER (4) resumes after ten months, yet her lone run had merit: sixth, beaten seven lengths, after working home well just behind the placegetters. That is solid enough to make her the main danger if she returns in order. FOR THE VICTORY (1) has been well beaten in two starts, including a sixth behind Art Tree, but barrier one and natural improvement keep him in the mix in a thin exposed-form race. ONNURI PARTY (9) has more race experience than most and is a place chance, though six unplaced runs at around 6f leave her with a clear winning query.

6	Back after two months off the strength of a near-miss second at this track, beaten a nose by Powerful Warrior after leading clearly to the turn as a short odds-on favourite. The step to 6f is new, but his latest effort was a sharp advance on debut and he now has race fitness on his side third-up. With Masa Tanaka retaining the ride, he brings the strongest winning case. 1st Pick 6 Max Level Jockey: Masa Tanaka Trainer: Park Jae Ho J: Masa Tanaka T: Park Jae Ho	177	-	-	-	78%	2/7

4	Back from a ten-month break after a debut sixth at this track, beaten seven lengths behind Janggo Man. That run had more merit than the finishing position suggests, as she settled handy, worked into it by the turn and finished just behind the placegetters. She is still lightly raced and resumes with enough exposed quality to be a serious winning threat if she returns in similar order. 2nd Pick 4 Storm Winner Jockey: Seo Gang Ju Trainer: Gu Min Sung J: Seo Gang Ju T: Gu Min Sung	42	-	-	-	17%	5/1

1	Back after two months following a plain sixth at this track, where he was beaten over 18 lengths behind Art Tree after settling well back and failing to close off. His debut was also well held on soft ground, but he remains lightly raced, draws barrier one and sits high enough in this field to be given another chance. Sharp improvement second-up would put him right in the contest. 3rd Pick 1 For The Victory Jockey: Jung Do Yun Trainer: Lim Keum Man J: Jung Do Yun T: Lim Keum Man	52	-	-	-	10%	10/1
