Thursday October 2, 2025

Busan Race 1: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(7) WHITE FLARE ran a solid 3^rd on debut over this distance on August 29^th, settling back and running on in a good time. He should have come on for the run and looks the one to beat in this opening maiden. (4) FANTASTIC EAGLE was also 3^rd on debut, in his case over 1000M on September 5^th when finishing off very well. He too should have improved for his first run and the step up in trip can suit. (11) CHOEGANG LOUIS was a much-improved 2^nd at start number four last time out on September 5^th when he led. He has the challenge of a wide draw this time, but he can be close again. (10) PORT MORE and (6) SAENAE HILL others in the frame.

Busan Race 2: Class 6 (1400M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

Fillies only in this maiden. (6) WORLD BLUE PIN CAT has made progress across three starts so far, culminating in 2^nd place at 1200M on August 15^th when running on and beating a couple of today’s rivals. He steps up to 1400M for the first time and it could be what he needs to make his breakthrough. (7) MISS SNIPER was one of those behind World Blue Pin Cat in that race and she returned on September 7^th to lead for much of the way around before running 3^rd. She should be on pace again and can be in this a long way. (8) OWNER CHAMP has two 3^rd places from her latest three as well as the fastest time among these for the distance. (10) HEUIMANG DANBI and (1) FINAL ATTACK other placing chances.

Busan Race 3: Class 5 (1400M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(2) D’LOVELY KING wan twice last autumn, finishing 2^nd both times, and then returned following nine months out at the end of August to run 2^nd again at this class over 1200M. He should strip fitter for that run and can finally go one better here. (12) LEGEND HIT got his maiden win at start number two over 1200M on August 29^th. He comes up in class and in distance here, but he can measure up. (1) STUKA has been the beaten favourite in both his latest two, most recently when 3^rd at this class and distance on August 31^st. His win came at the 1400M and from the inside gate he can be given another chance today. (4) NAMHAE MAGIC and (8) ALL ROUND ONE are others to consider.

Busan Race 4: Clas 4 (1800M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million

It’s been a while since (3) ASTIN MARINE won, but he enters as the form horse here with a 2^nd and a 3^rd from his latest two both at this class and distance. One of his wins came over the 1800M and under a light weight and well-drawn, he is the one to beat. (12) SEKWANG LIGHT came from off the pace to run 3^rd over a mile on August 24^th and in this company, he may be ready for another crack at 1800M. (9) JILJU YEOLJEONG was 6^th behind Astin Marine last month but was 3^rd at this class and distance two starts back and that’s enough to have him in the mix here. (10) CHAMP GO and (11) GUKDAE HERO are other place chances in a race with little obvious early speed.

Busan Race 5: Class 5 (1600M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(12) TOHAMSAN TAEYANG is yet to win in fourteen attempts, but she has finished 2^nd in three of her latest four, including at this distance in August. The widest gate shouldn’t be a problem, and she can navigate her way close to the speed here and she can win. IF she does find one too quick again, it may be (7) POWER STONE. He got his maiden win at start three in August before running 4^th on his first try at this class over 1400M on September 19^th. He makes a quick return here and his running style can suit the extended trip. (2) DIA KNIGHT needs a line through his latest when he used up a lot of energy early from a bad draw. He comes into a much better gate today and placed on his previous try at a mile. (3) JINJU BIT and (10) THIS WAY other chances.

Busan Race 6: Class 4 (1600M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million

(10) TRIPLE SINHWA has been working towards another win and enters off a 3^rd place at this class and distance on September 5^th when coming from well off the pace and beating three of today’s rivals. He comes in under the same weight and he can beat them again. (6) RAON THE MASKE was sent off as favourite for that race but having been up on a strong pace, he faded along with others in the final furlong. He has won and placed at this distance though and while he once more has his fair share of weight to carry, he can be given another chance. (5) RIGHT CHAMP enters following a 3^rd place at this class over 1800M on August 22^nd and can be in the mix again. (7) CANCAN STEP and (11) MEGA MACHINE are others to consider on a place line.

Busan Race 7: Class 4 (1800M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million

(4) GOD NIKE got her maiden win at the twelfth time of asking over a mile in August and then ran 3^rd over that same distance at this class on September 14^th. She tackles two turns for the first time, but there is no reason why it can’t suit and under a light weight, she can win here. (6) TAMNA SUPER beat four of these on his way to victory at this class and distance on September 5^th, settling midfield and running on. He comes in under pretty much the same weight and he can be close again. (9) COW LINE was 2^nd to Tamna Super in that September 5^th race. That was his first try at 1800M and he can have benefited from the experience. (1) FLASH PARK and (11) NANEUN KKUM others to look out for.

Busan Race 8: Class 3 (1400M) Handicap / KRW 75 Million

(5) BEOLMA KING is a winner of four from eight so far, most recently in July when he returned from three months out to win at this distance. He followed up with a 4h place on August 22^nd at this class over 1200M, settling back and running on. The step back up in trip can suit and third-up this preparation, he can be peaking. (7) BRUG KINGMAN was sent off as favourite last time out on September 5^th at this class and distance but laid in repeatedly and ended up down the field, beaten by several of today’s rivals. With a better start, he is worth another chance today. (1) GEUMA EMINENT stumbled on his latest start and finished back behind Beolma King. He has since been back to trial, which he won, and he too can be a different prospect this time. (12) GOLDEN AIR and (6) WONDERFUL JONES are others in the hunt.
