NUM TIME COMMENT
1 10:35 Class 6 Special Weight A 1200m
BIG BRIDGE (9) was well fancied last time and did a good job to finish second over 1200m at this track at the third run of the prep. Cherry-ripe now so a big run is likely. ULTRA MANGCHI (4) has not raced since his debut back on January 6 when he finished tenth over 1200m at this track. Led and folded up and immediately put away. Should progress this time and is expected to feature. KHAS (5) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Seo In Seok. By Colonel John from Zippy Jan. Comes here off a Seoul trial. Respect any positive move in betting. YUSUBUJAENGSEON (3) is a gelding by Vics out of Scilly making his first appearance. Ran eighth in a trial at Seoul over 1000m with today's rider Lim Da Bin aboard. Worth keeping safe.
2 11:00 Class 6 Special Weight A 1700m
BAZOOKA BOY (4) is a three-start maiden who finished fourth at his most recent outing over 1400m at this track. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. BEAT YEONGUNG (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into sixth. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. YONGBICHEON (3) is a 19-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at her latest appearance over 1700m at this track. Expected to feature in the finish this time. CRAZE CHANG (8) ran below expectations last start, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths at this track over 1400m. Should be competitive in this suitable race.
3 12:05 Class 5 Handicap 1200m
RAON THE CLIPPER (2) finished second as favourite last time out over 1300m at this track, making it three minor placings from three starts this time in work. Should enjoy a nice run so he is well placed to break through. GEUMAK DIA (9) showed good speed last time out and fought on well when third over 1200m at this track. Has the gate speed to negate a tricky draw. Expected to be in the finish. MR. TROT (1) turned in a modest performance when ninth last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 14 lengths. That followed a good win on debut at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. MORNING BOLD (6) is a nine-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at this track over 1300m, beaten 4 lengths. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come.
4 01:10 Class 5 Handicap 1300m
HWASANGWIHWAN (7) wound up strongly only to just miss last start over 1300m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect another big run. THUNDER A ONE (1) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 5 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Inside draw will assist and he is one of the main chances. TRISTAN WANGJA (8) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just half a length away in second over 1300m at this track. Will need a good ride from Yoo Seung-Wan off the awkward draw. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. P N S THE KING (5) was never in contention last time over 1400m at this track when he finished sixth, beaten 14 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve.
5 02:00 Class 5 Handicap 1400m
WONDERFUL SPIRIT (8) broke her maiden three starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten 4 lengths into second over 1300m at this track. Is a winner at this circuit. Bold showing expected. MANDAERO (3) finished 3 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1300m at this track, an improvement on his eighth at this track the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. THE SUN FIGHTER (6) just missed last time when a neck away in second at this track over 1300m. Should be in the finish again.

6 02:50 Class 5 Handicap 1300m
CHEONGUCHAT (4) is yet to break through in six runs. Finished fourth after being in contention on the corner at his last appearance over 1300m at this track on March 17. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. SEOUL CHOEGANGJA (2) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when fourth over 1300m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.

Hard to beat in this suitable race. MAESTRO (5) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1400m at this track after being prominent until the final stages. Well placed and can play a prominent role.
7 03:40 Class 4 Handicap 1400m
GUKDAE FIGHTER (9) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Already a two time winner including last start when scoring by one length over 1400m at this track. Races well here and expected to go close. VET CAPTAIN (4) has strung together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on March 23 over 1400m when he scored by 2.5 lengths. Winning rider Lee Yong Ho retains the mount. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. WORLD BLAME (11) fought on well for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Has a wide gate to overcome but on recent form is hard to leave out. MISS WIN STAR (5) was prominent at the corner and finished third last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 4.5 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot.
8 04:30 Class 4 Handicap 1200m

BLACK CHOCOLATE (7) resumed last start over 1200m at this track and showed little early speed, settling well back but hitting the line hard to finish third, beaten 5.5 lengths. Has won three races at this course and distance from seven tries. Should be involved in the finish. TOUGH MAN (2) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1200m at this track when beaten 5 lengths. Should figure in the finish again.
10 05:30 Class 4 Handicap 1800m
EFFEL TAP (9) won his maiden six starts back and is ready to salute again after a string of recent placings, the latest when second over 1800m at this track. Expected to cross from wide out. Overdue and should go close. DALKONG (8) was beaten 8 lengths into third at this track two starts ago then finished 13 lengths from the winner in fifth last time at this track.
