DANAEUN STAR (9) returns from six months off with the most compelling profile, having put together two wins and two placings from five starts at this track and ending last campaign with a half-length second behind Valid Young after being near the top of betting. His earlier two-length win over Mighty Beat showed he can put a race away, and the winning rider is back aboard. CHEONGSAN JILJU (2) is the race-fit danger after a close second to Cowboy Socks last start and a third the run prior, with proven track-and-distance figures to support another strong showing. GHOST CHRYSOL (7) missed by a nose last time and has a reliable 1700m profile at this venue, though he has only one win from 17 starts overall. PASA SPARK (8) bounced back with a sound third behind Songdang Sky and her track-and-distance record keeps her in the discussion, but the heavy defeat two back leaves her a shade below the main pair.
