With Seoul taking its summer week off, Busan is the sole action on Sunday with 14 races from 10:35 to 18:00. Here are the previews:

Busan Race 1: Class 6 (1300M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

Anything could win this. (6) MAKE IT BETTER ran fairly on debut for a 6^th of nine finish over 1000M. He was doing his best work late on so with some natural improvement, a step up in trip, and with Munro climbing on, there is every chance that he will be better here. (3) STORMING MAGIC enters off a much-improved 2^nd place over 1300M on July 12^th when settling behind the speed and running on.  A similar effort will see her close here. (8) RAON STROKE was disappointing over 1400M last time out but has a 2^nd and a 3^rd to her name over this trip and Seo Seung-un being booked catches the eye. (4) AMAZING MOVE and (1) SIMON STAR others to consider.

Selections	(6) Make It Better (3) Storming Magic (8) Raon Stroke (4) Amazing Move
Next Best	1, 2
Fast Start	1, 2, 5, 6

Busan Race 2: Class 6 (1600) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(3) DREAMING BOY has a 3^rd and a 4^th among three starts so far up to 1400M and has been finishing off his races well. There is no early speed in this race so from a good gate, he can be on pace and the step up to a mile can suit. (8) GOLDEN NICE has been hovering on the brink of the places and comes in off a close 4^th place over 1400M on July 19^th. She tends to get back in her races so is another for who the step up in trip can be a benefit. (4) BABEL DREAMY is another who settles back and runs on. She has a 4^th and two 3^rd place finishes from her latest three, beating a couple of these in the process and she should be there or thereabouts again. (2) GEUMA BRISK and first-time starter (7) KING’S MARINE are the other chances.  

Selections	(3) Dreaming Boy (8) Golden Nice (4) Babel Dreamy (2) Geuma Brisk
Next Best	7, 5
Fast Start	3, 5, 6, 8

Busan Race 3: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 45 Million

Juvenile maidens with four of the ten making their racing debuts. Usefully for us, four of the ones with experience raced against each other on their debuts and a couple went well. (1) MY DREAM DAY finished the best of them over 1000M on July 12^th when on pace throughout and running 2^nd. He draws well to lead and this time can go all the way. (2) BEOLMAUI ANGEL was 2^nd in that race having been handy all the way. He has two lengths to find on My Dream Day but an extra furlong to find them. (3) NINETY PLUS was further back in 5^th place in that race, about two-lengths behind Beolmaui Angel, starting a touch slow and running on. He put in a super final furlong time and can improve second-up. With it perhaps being best to take a watching brief with the first timers, (10) EMPEROR and (8) BAEDARI BOSEOK, may be the next ones to consider.

Selections	(1) My Dream Day (2) Beolmaui Angel (3) Ninety Plus (10) Emperor
Next Best	8, 4
Fast Start	1, 2, 4, 9

Busan Race 4: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

Fillies only in this maiden. (4) CHEONHA GEONGANG raced twice without distinction around the turn of the year and was then put away for four months. She won a trial at the end of June and then ran 2^nd on her return over this distance on July 12^th, sitting handy throughout. She should have come on for that run and will be favoured to go one better today. (5) TROPHY WARE raced three times across the end of last year and the beginning of this, registering a 2^nd place sandwiched between two poorer efforts. She hasn’t raced since February but looked well when on pace in a July trial and can go well first-up. Continuing the theme, (1) NAMHAE YEOGEOL returned from almost six months off to run a solid 3^rd place on July 7^th in a similar race to this and beating some of today’s rivals. She should strip fitter for the run and draws well to lead and be in this a long way. (2) DREAMMA and newcomer (8) UNJU CHALLENGE are the others in the placing frame.

Selections	(4) Cheonha Geongang (5) Trophy Ware (1) Namhae Yeogeol (2) Dreamma
Next Best	8, 7
Fast Start	1, 3, 4, 5

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

(5) BEAT DRAGON will be a warm favourite here. He comes in having run 2^nd and 4^th in his latest two, both at this class and distance. He has the fastest time among these for the mile by some margin and he could take some beating here. It’s not an intimidating set of opponents. (6) GOTOTHEVALHALLA was an all the way winner over 1200M to get his maiden win at start number three on July 12^th. He comes up in class and significantly in distance here, but he can measure up. (3) EUNSEONG CHAMPION will need a line drawn through his latest when weakening late over 1800M. He has a win, a 2^nd and a 3^rd from three starts at the mile though and can be in the finish here. (8) ILNYEOM SINHWA got his maiden win over this trip on July 21^st and while up in class, he is down in weight, and can be competitive. (1) TOP FRIEND another in the hunt.

Selections	(5) Beat Dragon (6) Gotothevalhalla (3) Eunseong Champion (8) Ilnyeom Sinhwa
Next Best	1, 4
Fast Start	1, 3, 5, 6
