BLACK MAMA (8) has the most reliable winning profile, having been backed into very short odds-on territory last start before scoring by half a length from Black Sun at this track. Her record over this course and distance is a strong pointer, with two wins from three attempts, and R Maia has already won twice on her from four rides. KHAN MAX (6) is the main threat on consistency, coming off a fourth behind Beolgyo Aladdin after a previous third at this venue, though his lack of a win at the track and distance keeps the margin between them meaningful. MANGEUM CROWN (9) brings upside after thrashing The Classic by over 11 lengths, but that came over 1300m and he still has to prove he can reproduce it at 1700m. BULGEUNTAEYANG (2) was safely held first-up behind Mr.Cara, yet his one win and four placings from 11 runs around this trip give him a more established staying profile than most of the rougher hopes.
