The weekend’s action gets underway at Busan on Friday where there are 8 races from 11:50 to 18:00. Here are the previews:

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

Three-year-old maidens in the opener. (3) SKY GRIT ran 6^th on debut last June and then didn’t appear again until Christmas Eve when she led early over this distance, ultimately finishing 4^th. The time was significantly quicker than any of the others here have achieved, she draws well, and will take some beating.  (10) ONES HEYDEY improved at start number two on December 29^th when settling midfield and running on and finishing 4^th. She came out of the same wide gate she draws today and the way she finished off suggests her best days may in fact lie ahead. (6) CHAS QUEEN overcame a slow start to run on for 5^th on debut on December 29^th. It was a slow time, but she beat a couple of today’s rivals and enters the calculations here. Debut-maker (1) GREAT QUEEN along with (7) JINJU BIT are others to consider.

Selections	(3) Sky Grit (10) Ones Heydey (6) Chas Queen (1) Great Queen
Next Best	7, 9
Fast Start	1, 2, 3, 7

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

(5) MAJESTIC DANCER enters off back-to-back 3^rd place finishes at 1200M and 1300M both times settling back and running on well. The slight step up in trip can suit and today can be his day. The favourite will be (2) HI WINNER. She’s raced four times so far. Never finishing any worse than 5^th and with her best being her latest when 2^nd over 1300M on January 7^th when handy throughout. She already has a 3^rd place at this distance to her name and from a good gate she has every chance here. Completing the top line of chances is (7) WONDERFUL FEVER. He was a solid 3^rd on debut over 1200M back in November and returns here after eleven weeks out. He should have come on for that run and in a race devoid of early speed, may well be on the front from the start. (10) JOJOBA and (6) SERAFINA among others in the minor money hunt

Selections	(5) Majestic Dancer (2) Hi Winner (7) Wonderful Fever (10) Jojoba
Next Best	6, 11
Fast Start	2, 5, 7, 11

Busan Race 3: Class 6 (1600M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(1) NEVER GIVE UP has shown progress across three starts so far, culminating in a runner-up finish over 1400M on Christmas Eve when he overcame the widest gate. The step up to a mile should be in his favour and he can go one better this time. (4) YEONGGWANGUICLASS enters off back-to-back 3^rd place finishes, both at this distance and most recently when beating a couple of today’s rivals on January 14^th. He makes a quick return here and should be in the mix once more. (7) FUERTE ran on pleasingly enough on debut over 1300M on December 31^st, crossing the line in 4^th place. He should have derived benefit from that experience and can get closer here. (8) YEONGGWANGUIPRINCE and (11) CHRYSOL SIERRA others who can enter the calculations.

Selections	(1) Never Give Up (4) Yeonggwanguiclass (7) Fuerte (8) Yeonggwanguiprince
Next Best	11, 3
Fast Start	1, 6, 8, 10
