AEGIS CROWN (6) resumes as the horse to beat after closing his previous campaign with two Busan wins, the latest by six lengths as favourite from Queen Race. His three wins from seven starts overall and two from five at 1200m give him the clearest winning profile, with Seo Seung Un's two wins from three rides another strong pointer. DOCTOR CITY (4) is the immediate threat after beating Columbia Champ by a head at this track four weeks ago and his jockey-horse record is excellent, though he must back up that peak after a plain sixth prior. GOLDEN (1) is harder to trust off a second-last, beaten over 11 lengths, but the two-length win here the start prior and one win from three at this track and distance keep him in the mix. PERFECT LINE (3) has place-style form after a Busan third, gets weight relief and drops in grade, with the 1200m test still the important unknown.
