The weekend’s racing gets underway at Busan on Friday with 8 races from 11.15 to 17.55. Here are the previews:

Busan Race 1: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 45 Million

Juvenile maidens with eight of the eleven racing for the first time. (3) OASIS HEUIMANG was a beaten favourite on debut on May 29^th leading close to home over 1000M. That day’s runner-up Tipping Point went on to win last week and from a good draw and with a very good apprentice claiming 2kg, it should be his turn today. Tipping Point’s subsequent win was on June 19^th. (5) GLOBAL TOP TIER ran 4^th in that race on debut and with some natural improvement can go closer today. Among the first timers, (6) HIT THE RUNNING is probably the best coming out of trials where he was handy throughout and 4^th in a fair time. (7) JANGGO KING and (1) SUPEXNIKKE trialed together and hinted at ability.

Selections	(3) Oasis Heuimang (5) Global Top Tier (6) Hit The Running (7) Janggo King
Next Best	1, 10
Fast Start	3, 6, 7, 8

Busan Race 2: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(10) ART TREE debuted all the way back on October of last year when he ran a very solid 3^rd over 1000M in a juvenile maiden. After that he had a procession of setbacks, including a chip fracture. He has been back in regular work since the end of April and looked very well when winning a trial on June 25^th and he can make a winning return here. (9) WONDERFUL PAS pretty much stopped late on debut over 1300M on May 31^st to the extent she was sent back to trial. She came through the same heat as Art Tree and was less than half a length behind and could be a much different prospect. (7) RIVER RUN was an improved 4^th over this distance on June 19^th when coming from midfield and beating a couple of today’s rivals and he can continue to make progress. (6) NAGAN CHUEOK and debut maker (5) OASIS SHACKLE among others who could go well.

Selections	(10) Art Tree (9) Wonderful Pas (7) River Run (6) Nagan Chueok
Next Best	5, 1
Fast Start	4, 5, 6, 9

Busan Race 3: Class 5 (1800M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

Good race for the level. (4) GYEONGBOK ATOS was a winner at start two over 1300M in March when leading all the way before running 4^th over 1400M on his first try at this level over 1400M in April. He came back into work on June 18^th and while up in trip, he can be a big danger first up. (1) MAGIC MIRROR finally broke through at start number nine on June 5^th when handy throughout. It came at this class and distance and while he is up a full 4kg in weight, he may well start as the betting favourite again. (8) TAKE RACE was a winner on debut over 1300M in May and then ran a solid 3^rd at a mile on June 12^th on his first try at this class. The additional furlong shouldn’t pose many problems, and he can be in the finish again. (6) CHAMPUI HEUIMANG and (2) REGINA VINCIT among plenty of others with at least place chances. Nine of the eleven finished in the top four in their respective latest outings.

Selections	(4) Gyeongbok Atos (1) Magic Mirror (8) Take Race (6) Champui Heuimang
Next Best	2, 3
Fast Start	4, 5, 9, 10

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

(7) WILD REAL is two for two having won over 1200M on debut in April before scoring at this class and distance on May 31^st, leading all the way both times. He comes up 2.5kg in weight but can lead again and can complete his hat-trick. (5) NINETEEN NINE WON broke through at start number three over 1200M on April 10^th. She had a couple of months off but came back into work in the first week of June and while up in class and in distance, she is down in weight and has every chance.  (10) BUGYEONG TRIPLE got his maiden win at start number eleven over 1300M on June 5^th. It was at this class and he previously has a 2^nd place to his name over this distance so only coming up 1kg in weight, he has to be in the hunt again. (2) DOLGYEOK SPECIAL is winless and up in class but has rarely been far away and under a light weight and drawn well may offer some each-way appeal. (4) JEONGMUN FELIX another in the frame.

Selections	(7) Wild Real (5) Nineteen Nine Won (10) Bugyeong Triple (2) Dolgyeok Special
Next Best	3, 11
Fast Start	4, 5, 6, 7
