From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Tom's D'etat from Into Reality. Scored in his most recent trial at Seoul. Promising type who can play a big role. FLYING OAKS (11) finished third, beaten 10 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track after she was in the firing line on the turn. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. GLOBAL PHAROAH (7) is a first starter by American Pharoah who was purchased for AUD $ 60,000 (Magic Millions 2024 Gold Coast Yearling Sale).

Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. YONGBISU (10) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when seventh in a 1700m contest at this track four weeks ago after being prominent at the turn. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. CHEONJI MARKET (8) is yet to break through in 16 runs. Finished eighth at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on January 26. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her. MISS DORTIE (2) closed last prep five months ago when she finished tenth over 1200m at this track.

7 03:15 Class 4 Handicap 1400m

Nicely placed to find winning ways. BEOLGYO CHADOL (8) finished fifth last start over 1200m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Will be on the speed in transit and is expected to take some running down. ORION ALPHA (4) returned from a two months break over 1300m last start and got the job done by 4 lengths at this track. Has a fair record at this track with a win and three placings. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Will be in this for a long way. GANGCHEOL YEOGEOL (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1300m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
8 04:05 Class 3 Handicap 1600m
SATANG SONYEO (5) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 1700m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form she is good enough to take this out. HAENGBOKAN SEUNGJA (8) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 6 lengths into third over 1600m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. QUEEN TOP (7) turned in a fair effort at Busan over 1800m at her last run three months ago, finishing fourth and beaten 2 lengths. One to consider. NAEGILUI QUEEN (9) returns from a spell. Finished fifth at this track and distance at her only appearance last prep 12 weeks ago. Has the speed to overcome the draw. Don't underestimate.
9 05:00 Class 3 Handicap 1200m
BARO DANAEUN (7) fought on to score a narrow win at this track over today's trip at her last appearance on January 12. Nice weight drop so another big run is on the cards. SINUI YEOJE (3) turned in a solid fresh performance last start when a minor placegetter over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. Overall record is sound when second-up and has plenty of upside with the run under her belt. Leading chance. RAON THE COBRA (4) improved sharply on his 11th two starts back at this track with success over 1200m at this track six weeks ago, getting home by 3 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. J MOTION (5) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track over 1600m after he had travelled in a rearwards position. Finds a nice race and can atone.
10 05:30 Class 4 Handicap 1800m
BLUE PIORA (3) finished just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second last start over 1400m at this track after racing on the pace. Drawn to enjoy a lovely run again. Nicely placed to take this out. GENTLE YARA (8) returned from a spell six weeks ago when he was in contention on the bend before being beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth over 1800m at this track. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PEARL POINT (1) doesn't win out of turn but was in the finish last time when beaten half a length into second over 1800m at this track. Settles back early but winds up late. One to consider. CHANGJOUI ACHIM (10) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.
11 06:00 Class 2 Handicap 1800m
SINUI EREUM (1) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when prominent at the bend before finishing second over 1800m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths.

LUCKY PARTY (9) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths over 1800m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but he can win again. WINNER YOUNG (5) got home by a nose last time out over 1800m at this track. Boasts three wins here. Jang Chu Youl who has two wins when partnering stays on. Sure to be competitive. POWER GUNJU (2) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Ready to go a couple better.
