The final weekend of racing before the short Chuseok break gets under at Busan on Friday where there are 9 races from 11:15 to 17:55. Here are the previews:

Busan Race 1: Class 6 (1000M) Special Weight A / KRW 45 Million

Juvenile maiden fillies with all eleven racing for the first time. (10) TO WIN was held together very nicely in her trial, crossing the line 4^th in a fair time but withing four-lengths of the experienced winner and getting stronger as the heat went on. Franco stays on and she could win on debut. (8) MIRACLE PACE was a fair 4^th in her trial coming from off the pace. She was a touch slow away which is a concern at 1000M, but she looks to have ability. (9) FANTASTIC QUEENS finished off well in her trial, beating a couple of today’s fellow debut-makers in the process. Those three were the clear standouts from trials with (7) ROMANTIC TIARA and (11) GLOBAL LUNA others who hinted at ability.

Selections	(10) To Win (8) Miracle Pace (9) Fantastic Queens (7) Romantic Tiara
Next Best	11, 2
Fast Start	2, 3, 7, 10

Busan Race 2: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 45 Million

Juvenile maiden colts here with all eleven racing for the first time. (4) ROYAL PRIDE was on pace in his trial, running a close 2^nd to an experienced horse who came out and won at class 5 level a week later. He draws well to be on pace and looks a big chance here. (6) B.K RICH was the other standout in trials, similarly leading before crossing the line in 2^nd, a length behind the very experienced Sincheon Freedom and that form should be good enough to challenge here. (11) TOHAMSAN STAR went trough two trials and was quick in both. He has the challenge of the widest gate but with Seo Seung-un engaged, he will have plenty of backers. (2) BUHWARUI SEOMAK and (10) SUPEX MAGIC others in the hunt. 

Selections	(4) Royal Pride (6) B.K Rich (11) Tohamsan Star (2) Buhwarui Seomak
Next Best	10, 9
Fast Start	2, 4, 6, 9

Busan Race 3: Class 6 (1600M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(11) RIVER RUN has been getting closer across his six starts to date with a 4^th, a 3^rd and a 2^nd from his latest three, most recently when stepped up to a mile for the first time on August 16^th. He likes to settle back and run on so the wide draw should be no problem, and he could go one better today. (5) FANTASTIC ROYAL didn’t do much in his first two starts but stepped up to 1300M on August 21^st and was an improved 2^nd, coming from midfield. The further step up in trip can suit and he can be close. (9) SHINY KOREA looks to be figuring things out at last with a 2^nd and a 3^rd from his latest two, the latter his first try over the mile behind River Run on August 16^th and he should be a danger again here. (6) RESPECTING GIRL and (1) SEOGWI FOREST others in the hunt.

Selections	(11) River Run (5) Fantastic Royal (9) Shiny Korea (6) Respecting Girl
Next Best	1, 4
Fast Start	1, 2, 5, 7

Busan Race 4: Class 6 (1600M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(8) CHAMPUI HYANGGI enters off back-to-back 3^rd places, most recently over this distance on August 28^th when she beat three of today’s rivals, settling midfield and running on. She comes into a slightly better gate today and can potentially come out on top. (2) YEONGGWANGUICROWN has made steady progress across three starts today with her best being her latest when 4^th in that August 28^th race. She has four-lengths to make up on Champui Hyanggi, but she has a light weight, she draws well, and she looks to have plenty of scope for more improvement. (3) NAGAN CHUEOK comes in after a 2^nd place over 1200M on July 17^th when coming from well off the pace. She comes up significantly in trip, but it may well suit. (10) DOCTOR MUJEOK and (9) FLYING SKY others who can be in this.
