The Triple Tiara gets underway at Busan on Sunday when twelve fillies line up for the Luna Stakes over a mile. There are 6 races at Busan from 12:05 to 16:30 (this big race is the last) while at Seoul there are 11 races from 10:35 to 18:00. Here are the previews:

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

Fillies only in this maiden. (7) CHRYSOL NIKE ran 2^nd on debut over 1200M on January 25^th, settling midfield and running on well. She comes in relatively fresh after nine weeks out, she should have come on for the run, and she can go one better today. (9) GIDAEHARA improved to 5^th at start number two on February 22^nd, showing on pace before weakening a little late on. Third-up she can be peaking fitness wise and with Maia getting on for the first time, she can get closer. (3) NAEGILUI ACE beat Gidaehara when running 3^rd in that February 22^nd race. She has shown progression across each of her three starts so far and can be in the mix again. (8) MISS FAMOUS and (10) SMART TAKE the other main chances.

Selections	(7) Chrysol Nike (9) Gidaehara (3) Naegilui Ace (8) Miss Famous

Seoul Race 2: Class 6 (1300M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(9) TOUR FELIX ran once without distinction last summer and then didn’t reappear until February 23^rd this year when he was a much-improved 2^nd at 1200M, racing handy throughout. He should have come on for the run and he can go one better today. (7) THUNDER FIRE improved to 3^rd at start number two on March 1^st, similarly racing handy all the way. He’ll do the same here and third up can be even fitter. (3) J ONE POWER ran 3^rd behind Tour Felix in that February 23^rd race, having settled a little closer than in his first two outings and accordingly running better. He draws well and can be there or thereabouts again. (11) MUNHAK CHUKJE and (2) RAON SILENCE are others to consider.

Selections	(9) Tour Felix (7) Thunder Fire (3) J One Power (11) Munhak Chukje

Fast Start	1, 2, 5, 6

Seoul Race 3: Class 6 (1700M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

Not the strongest of maidens. (9) CUPID K probably gets the verdict although that means having to discount her latest effort on March 2^nd when she was sent off as favourite but barely laid a glove on them and finished midfield. Her form leading up to that was good though and on her 2^nd place two starts back, she warrants another chance with the extended trip potentially suiting. (11) MARUBYEOL must be close to setting the record for most class 6 starts. That’s not a good thing. However, she got her best ever finish at this distance in January and in this very modest company, could be going even better. (6) GHOST CHYSOL races fro the first time since being beaten by Marubyeol at thus distance in that January race. He comes into a better gate today and get closer. (5) GRAND FLYING and (1) SAVANA CHARLIE perhaps the best of a limited rest.

Selections	(9) Cupid K (11) Marubyeol (6) Ghost Chrysol (5) Grand Flying

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

After running 4^th on debut in February, (2) VANGIE was beaten into 2^nd place when sent off as favourite on March 7^th over 1200M. He draws nicely here, and with the slight step up in trip, he will be hot favourite to get it right at the third time of asking. (4) JJAK SARANG also has a 4^th and a 2^nd from two starts to date, racing on pace both times. She can be on pace and in this a long way. Those two will be at the top of most quinella picks, although (8) HEUIMANG GUNJU was an improved 3^rd at start number three over this distance on February 28^th when close to the speed throughout. He can aim to at least repeat in this company. (6) FAST QUEEN and (7) THUNDER PASSION others who can potentially improve.

Selections	(2) Vangie (4) Jjak Sarang (8) Heuimang Gunju (6) Fast Queen
Next Best	7, 3
Fast Start	2, 3, 7, 12

Seoul Race 4: Class 5 (1400M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(1) RAON NOTHERN DANCE is yet to win in five but comes up in class following four top four finishes, including a last start 3^rd on his first try at this distance on February 23^rd when close to the speed throughout. He can have come on for that experience and coming down a full 4kg in weight and drawn nicely, can win here. (3) DANGDAECHOWOL is similarly winless and in his case has sic top five finishes from seven attempts. He enters off a 2^nd place at this class and distance on January 25^th and while he was well beaten by a good winner, he won’t need to improve much to have winning claims here. (9) LOTUSMIREU has improved since a six-month layoff and can aim to at least match the 3^rd places she has from each of her latest two. (6) GRAND KWAEMA and up in class (10) TROLL other minor hopes.

Selections	(1) Raon Nothern Dance (3) Dangdaechowol (9) Lotusmireu (6) Grand Kwaema
Next Best	10, 5
Fast Start	1, 6, 7, 8

Busan Race 2: Class 5 (1400M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(8) SWORD MASTER was an also ran in last year’s Breeders’ Cup Rookie and since then has two runner-up finishes and most recently, a 4^th place at this class over a mile on February 23^rd when on pace throughout. He ran 2^nd on his only previous try at this distance and he looks the one to beat today. He will need to overturn the form on (6) WORLD HIT, who was 3^rd in that February 23^rd race, showing on pace throughout. He will be on the speed again and can be in this a long way. (5) HOMYEONG SHINHWA comes up in class following a maiden win over 1300M that had been coming. She carries a light weight and can measure up in this company. (7) MORNING DEW and (10) TRIPLE AXEL are others to look out for.

Selections	(8) Sword Master (6) World Hit (5) Homyeong Shinhwa (7) Morning Dew
