Race 1: Class 6 (1000M) Allowance / KRW 22 Million
Solid form at a premium here so (3) NINA gets the verdict following a creditable enough 5th place on debut last month. It was nothing special but showed promise and she can go on to win here. (6) EDGE OF WINNER showed improvement on her second start a month ago and can continue to develop here while (5) EURO SHINHWA was by no means disgraceful on debut either. (8) BAEKDU BAEKHO certainly didn’t impress on his own debut back in August but has been back trialling since and has looked much better. Debut-maker (7) SAEROUN BARAM is another to consider.
| Selections | (3) Nina (6) Edge Of Winner (7) Saeroun Baram (8) Baekdu Baekho |
| Next Best | 5, 4 |
| Fast Start | 2, 3, 4, 8 |

(2) YEONGGWANGUI CHAMP did ok on debut too but it’s to the debut-makers that we’ll turn to find the other contenders. (11) HIDDEN CHAMP and (10) DAMYANG GONGJU trialled up together and the former looks to have decent claims first up.
| Selections | (11) Hidden Champ (1) Trinity (10) Damyang Gongju (2) Yeonggwangui Champ |
| Next Best | 12, 8 |
| Fast Start | 1, 2, 3, 11 |
Race 3: Class 6 (1300M) Allowance / KRW 22 Million
(2) FIRST SHINHWA just fell short last time, beaten a length in a good race over this distance, well ahead of a couple of his rivals here and he looks very much the one to bet in what should be another lively contest. (3) BOLD RULES has been 3rd in both her outings so far and can at least match today while (4) JANGHAN JILJU has similarly been finding the money and can maintain that record here. (7) ROCK HARD SEVEN has had an (more…)
