Verdict

STORM CROWN (8) is favoured off the strength of a dominant six-length win at this venue two runs ago, and his latest fifth over 7f was still sound enough, beaten two and a half lengths after being well found in betting. The return to 6f is a key positive given that prior win came at this distance, and his recent-season profile reads better than most. GLOBAL SERVE (6) is the obvious threat after winning here two back and then finishing third, beaten a length and a half, with both runs coming when respected by the market. CRAZY MANGO (7) has the light weight and the strongest track-and-distance credentials among the main hopes, though the rebound from a heavy defeat two back has to be trusted. GEUMSE (1) has been second at both runs this campaign, most recently beaten half a length by Crazy Star, and the inside draw gives him every chance to convert consistent 6f form into another top-three result.

8	Put a strong platform under this with a dominant win at this venue two starts ago, beating Jeongwangseokhwa by six lengths, then was sound when fifth over 7f and beaten two and a half lengths behind Cheongung Storm. He returns to the 6f where he has already won, comes here fourth-up, and his recent form is the best overall package in the race. 1st Pick 8 Storm Crown Jockey: Furkan Yuksel Trainer: Tony Jean Castanheira J: Furkan Yuksel T: Tony Jean Castanheira	124	-	-	-	23%	7/2

6	Comes through two strong runs at this venue, winning from Hwasangwihwan two starts ago before finishing third behind Run Wild, beaten a length and a half. He was prominent in both markets and has been racing as though another win is close. His track-and-distance record is more reliable for placings than wins, but current form makes him one of the main winning chances. 2nd Pick 6 Global Serve Jockey: Asano Kazuya Trainer: Jung Ho Ik J: Asano Kazuya T: Jung Ho Ik	135	-	-	-	25%	3/1
Analysis Comes through two strong runs at this venue, winning from Hwasangwihwan two starts ago before finishing third behind Run Wild, beaten a length and a half.

His track-and-distance record is more reliable for placings than wins, but current form makes him one of the main winning chances.
7	Returns from a six-week let-up after a much better third at this venue, beaten just over half a length by Maeum Hana after making the running and only being collared late. That answered, at least partly, the concern from his heavy defeat two back. He gets in with 112lbs, has three wins at the track and distance, and his record with this jockey keeps him high among the winning hopes. 3rd Pick 7 Crazy Mango Jockey: Kim Tae Hui Trainer: Shin Sam Young J: Kim Tae Hui T: Shin Sam Young	120	-	-	-	12%	15/2
