Fillies and mares take centre-stage this weekend with the final leg of the 2017 Queens’ Tour, the Gyeongnam Governor’s Cup, run at Busan on Sunday. Having comfortably won the first two legs, Silver Wolf will be looking to make it a clean-sweep in the 2000M local Group 3 event. Before that though there is plenty of racing to get through beginning on Friday at Busan with 11 races from 11:30 to 18:00. Time to get stuck in:

Race 1: Class 6 (1000M) Allowance / KRW 22 Million

(6) ISLE CAT has shown promise in three outings to date and looks to have the edge here following a 4^th place at the distance in tougher company a month ago. (1) HANEOLUI GISANG and (4) GOLDEN AGE both have second place finishes at the distance to their names and should get close while (7) ROYAL RIVER was an improved 3^rd on latest effort and can come under consideration.

Selections	(6) Isle Cat (1) Haneolui Gisang (4) Golden Age (7) Royal River
Next Best	8, 3
Fast Start	4, 5

Race 2: Class 6 (1000M) Allowance / KRW 22 Million

(7) DONE IT MY and (3) GIPPEUM SARANG came home 3^rd and 4^th at the distance on September 8^th. The former went on to run 5^th in a similar race last month while for the latter today is her first time back and both look to be strong contenders in this very modest contest. Gippeum Sarang is likely to lead early and that’s enough to make her favourite. It’s hard to make much of a case for the others. (2) GOLDEN KNIGHT hasn’t beaten many in three outings to date but jockey booking catches the eye while it’s a similar story with (4) THUNDER GLORY. (1) EVER GOOD TIME does have a little bit more form behind him but was beaten by Done It My and Gippeum Sarang in that September race.

Selections	(3) Gippeum Sarang (7) Done It My (1) Ever Good Time (2) Golden Knight
Next Best	4, 9
Fast Start	2, 3, 4

Race 3: Class 6 (1000M) Allowance / KRW 55 Million

Juveniles here with four debut-makers against five with experience and it should be a relatively straightforward task for (6) TRINITY to get the lead from the gate and go all the well. She was a good 2^nd behind a decent winner last start and should have too much for this lot. Should things not go to plan then (7) BIRYONGUI HUYE, who has beaten Trinity in both a trial and on what was both their debut a month ago would be the one to take advantage and will likely also challenge for the early speed. (4) PEACE TOUR debuted inauspiciously over 1200M but may be better at the minimum here while of the first-timers, (8) PERFECT BOSS trialled up the best.

Selections	(6) Trinity (7) Biryongui Huye (8) Perfect Boss (4) Peace Tour
Next Best	3, 9
Fast Start	3, 6, 7

Race 4: Class 6 (1300M) Allowance / KRW 40 Million

Fillies only hence the enhanced prize-money and a couple of them look capable of making their maiden breakthroughs. (3) BOLD RULES was favourite to do exactly that last time out and did lead before weakening in slightly tougher company than this two weeks ago. She should be on the early speed again and is worth another chance. The other standout is (5) DYNAMIC RUN, close in her latest three and another front-runner. The pair of them should fill out the quinella here. Only a neck separated (11) JOYFUL (more…)
