Friday’s racing is at Busan with 8 races from 11.35 to 17.55. Here are the previews:

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

Maidens with five of the eleven racing for the first time. (1) CHAMPUI SARANG went through two trials racing fairly in the first and improving significantly in the second of them (which was voluntary so may not be in all racecards – be aware) when from the widest gate she crossed the line 2^nd in a time of 62.6 seconds. If he brings that form to the races, he can win. (5) YEONGGWANGUIROOKIE went through two trials, showing plenty of speed in both. She should be nice and fit for this and can be a danger. Among those with experience, (7) NAGAN CHUEOK is the best. After an inauspicious debut, he was a much-improved 3^rd at start two over this distance on April 19^th when close to the speed throughout. (4) I’M THE ONE and (8) I AM QUEEN others who have hinted at ability.

Selections	(1) Champui Sarang (5) Yeonggwanguirookie (7) Nagan Chueok (4) I’m The One
Next Best	8, 10
Fast Start	3, 5, 7, 8

Busan Race 2: Class 5 (1200M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(5) DOCTOR HUNTER got his maiden win at start two over 1200M at the end of March before running 4^th at 1300M on his first try at this class on April 26^th when close to the pace throughout. He can be on the speed again here and can go one better. (6) WIND SWORD has placed three times in four starts at this class, all at this distance, since getting his maiden win back in January. His most recent was his second consecutive 3^rd place on April 17^th when he settled a bit handier than in recent outings. Expect similar tactics today and he should be in the finish again. (3) ONE WAY ROAD was the 20/1 winner of that April 17^th race and warrants more respect today. The veteran (4) TAEYANG EUTTEUM, along with (8) CALM FAST are other place chances.

Selections	(5) Doctor Hunter (6) Wind Sword (3) One Way Road (4) Taeyang Eutteum
Next Best	8, 1
Fast Start	4, 5, 6, 7

Busan Race 3: Class 5 (1400M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(1) INDIE TIGER won a trial and was then a smart winner on debut over 1200M on April 19^th, racing on pace and stopping the clock in a quick time and scoring to the tune of six-lengths. He comes up in both class and in distance but has every chance of measuring up. So too does (6) BROWN CHOCO, who is also one for one. He settled midfield on debut over 1300M on April 12^th before running on well for a three-quarter-length victory over Oasis Gijeok with the 3^rd placegetter five-lengths back. The slight step up in trip can suit.  After a bit of a wobble in January, (7) SUCCESS COW has come back into form with a 2^nd and a 4^th from his latest two and he is a sild place chance in this company. (9) BURUI SINJEON and (4) HIGH GOLD BAR others who are better than their respective latest efforts suggest.

Selections	(1) Indie Tiger (6) Brown Choco (7) Success Cow (9) Burui Sinjeon
Next Best	4, 2
Fast Start	1, 4, 5, 6

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

(4) POWERFUL THUNDER had been working towards a maiden win, and it arrived over 1300M on April 17^th when he led all the way around, getting the better of Powerful Battle by a head with the pair eight-lengths clear of 3^rd. He is up in class and slightly in trip, but he is down in weight and can win again. (1) OASIS HAPPY stepped up to a mile on April 26^th and registered his maiden win at start four with three-length victory. He is up in class but is down 3kg in weight and can be on pace and in this a long way. (6) CARAT KING is yet to win in eleven, but he was promoted to this class after a few too many near-misses and proved that he can measure up with 3^rd place over 1300M on April 10^th when settling midfield and running on. He stays under a light weight and should be in the finish again. (7) HEUIMANG GUNJU and (2) VICTORY STORY others firmly in the placing frame.

Selections	(4) Powerful Thunder (1) Oasis Happy (6) Carat King (7) Heuimang Gunju
Next Best	2, 8
Fast Start	1, 2, 4, 7
