The weekend’s racing gets underway at Busan on Friday with an 8-race program from 11.25 to 18.00. Here are the previews:

Busan Race 1: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million
Fillies only in this maiden with eight of the twelve racing for the first time. We’ll side with experience and (6) BREEDO MIRACLE, the only one to have raced twice. She did nothing on debut but was a close 2nd at start two on March 14th when leading until close to home. Third-up she can be peaking and won’t need to improve much to win here. It took (11) WIN GATE took plenty of trials to figure things out, but she looked well in her latest two, running 4th and 3rd in quick times and if she brings that form to the races, she will go close. (4) PACHAMAMA went through just one trial but was a close 2nd in a good time and she is well drawn to play a big role on debut. (5) GUREUM BIT also hinted at ability in her trial while returning the experience, (10) YONGBI LEGEND is the most likely to improve.
| Selections | (6) Breedo Miracle (11) Win Gate (4) Pachamama (5) Gureum Bit |
| Next Best | 10, 1 |
| Fast Start | 1, 2, 5, 6 |
Busan Race 2: Class 6 (1400M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million
(7) BEOLGYOUI BOM took a few goes to figure things out but has run back-to-back 3rd places in his latest two, most recently on March 23rd over 1300M when coming from well off the pace. The step up in trip can suit and he can win this. (5) DOCTOR KAREN led in her most recent outing on March 28th, ultimately finishing 5th, but beating a couple of today’s rivals. There isn’t much early speed in this race so she should lead again and can be in this a long way. (6) BANGTANUI JEONSA returns to action for the first time since last November. He had put together a decent record before the layoff with a 3rd and a 2nd and looked well enough in a trial earlier this month. (2) DAEJI DAEBONG and (3) DIA MATE others in the frame.
| Selections | (7) Beolgyoui Bom (5) Doctor Karen (6) Bangtanui Jeonsa (2) Daeji Daebong |
| Next Best | 3, 11 |
| Fast Start | 1, 5, 8, 12 |
Busan Race 3: Class 6 (1600M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million
Competitive maiden. (2) POWER TIME beat three of today’s rivals on his way to 2nd place on his first try at this distance on March 28th, settling midfield and running on. He draws better this time for Tanaka to pick his spot, and he can go one better. (3) FATE was 3rd in that race, a length and a half behind Power Time. He also has a 2nd place over the mile and with Seo Seung-un climbing on for the first time, he will have plenty of supporters to overturn that form. (4) QUEEN RACE comes in following a 4th place at 1200M on March 14th when settling midfield and finishing off well. That was her first race in almost three months so she can strip fitter here and step up to the mile can suit. (7) STAR FORCE and (11) CRUELLA others in at least the placing frame.
| Selections | (2) Power Time (3) Fate (4) Queen Race (7) Star Force |
| Next Best | 11, 12 |
| Fast Start | 1, 4, 9, 11 |
Busan Race 4: Class 5 (1600M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million
(7) SEKWANG LIGHT got his maiden in at start two and while he has mixed his form in five goes at this class, he comes in off a smart 2nd place at this class over 1400M on March 30th, coming from off the pace. Shifting back up to the mile can suit and he can win here. (6) FORCE BE WITH YOU was a winner on debut at 1300M on March 21st, taking things up halfway home and proving too strong. He is up in class and in distance but is down in weight and can measure up. (3) ROCK CANDY was a maiden winner two outings back before running 4th on her first try at this class and distance on March 21st when getting a long way back before running on. She can go closer today. (11) NEOM CITY and (2) FAIRY are others in the hunt.
| Selections | (7) Sekwang Light (6) Force Be With You (3) Rock Candy (11) Neom City |
| Next Best | 2, 8 |
| Fast Start | 2, 5, 9, 12 |
