Busan Race 1: Class 6 (1400M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million
(4) SHACKLE SUN has picked up in his latest two, with a 2nd and a 4th place at 1300M and at this distance. From a good draw, he can get a soft run to the lead here, and he can win this. (6) SEUNGCHUNHANEUNHAE is second up following four months off and has already beaten plenty of these. He should strip fitter for his May run and go close. (10) CRUELLA enters off a best to date 3rd place at this distance on May 25th when racing handy throughout. She had a similarly wide gate that day and she can be a danger here. (11) FLYING ICE has nine top five finishes from seventeen starts so far including a 3rd place at this distance. His recent work has been over a mile so he may appreciate the drop back in trip and can be there or thereabouts again. (7) REAL RESPECT another in the hunt.

Busan Race 2: Class 6 (1400M) Handicap / KRW 30 Million
(1) STUKA has two 3rd place finishes and a 4th from his four starts so far, that latter coming when sent off as favourite over a mile on May 30th. He comes back to 1400M for the first time, draws well to lead, and he can go all the way. (7) MEANINGFUL TIME enters off a close 2nd place at start number three over this distance on May 4th when racing on pace. Seo Seung-un stays aboard and he should be a big danger here. (6) SUN LIGHT has a 3rd and a 4th from her latest two, coming from well off the pace both times and she can be involved late on again here. (3) LIKE DRAGON and (5) WIND ROSE are among plenty of others who have hinted at ability.

Busan Race 3: Class 6 (1600M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million
(1) STAR FORCE laid in for the final 300M last time out over this distance on May 18th to the extent she got sent back to trial. It didn't stop her from finishing a close 2nd though and having come through the trial, if she behaves herself this time, she can win. (2) DIA MATE stepped up to this distance for the first time on June 13th and registered her best finish so far with a 3rd place coming from off the pace. She makes a quick return and can build on that here. (5) BORYEONGJEOKTOMA has beaten a few of these in his latest two, both times running 3rd at this distance and he can be there or thereabouts again. (10) GRACE CAL and (3) HOUND POKER, both tackling the mile for the first time, are others to consider.

Busan Race 4: Class 5 (1800M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million
(2) INDY GHOST stepped up to this distance on April 18th and got her maiden win on what was her fifth career start, leading all the way. It was at this class, so she comes up 3kg in weight, but she draws nicely to lead again, and she can repeat. (5) YURIM SKY was a maiden winner over a mile two starts back, before running a solid 2nd on his first try at this class and distance on May 30th. He can settle behind the speed here and can be in the finish again. (4) TOHAMSAN TAEYANG ran in the Korean Oaks in May and then beat a couple of these on her return to shallower waters at a mile on June 8th. She continues under a light weight, and she can be in the mix. (3) FLYING THE KHAN and (8) PHANTOM KING others in the frame.

Busan Race 5: Class 5 (1200M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million
(2) VANGIE got his maiden win at start three over 1300M on May 30th before running 2nd over the same distance on his first try at this class on May 4th. He has a 4th and a 2nd from his previous two tries at this trip and from a good draw, Seo Seung-un can pick his spot and he is the one to beat here. (1) SAENAE HUNTER ran three times last summer and autumn for two 3rd places and a 2nd. He returns to action for the first time since last October, but he looked very well when comfortably winning a May trial in a quick time and can put in a bold showing first-up. On trainer Kim Young-kwan's final weekend he teams up with visiting Kim Yong-geun (the pair won the Triple Crown with Power Blade) and (8) QUEENS DRAGON (by Power Blade) shouldn't be ruled out. (9) POWER WAGON and (4) FLEX ENGINE others to consider.

Busan Race 6: Class 4 (1300M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million
(8) BEOLGYO WANGCHO hasn't finished outside of the top three since his debut effort and he enters having won at this class over 1200M on May 25th when racing on pace throughout. He comes up a full 6kg in weight as a result but has won already under nearly as much, and he can win again. (2) RAINBOW ROAD is up in class following a smart win at this distance on June 8th when leading all the way. She comes down in weight, she draws well, and she can be in this a long way. (6) FANTASTIC HUMOR was a winner at this distance at class 5 level two starts back before finishing midfield on his first try at this class over 1400M on May 18th. Back in trip and continuing under a light weight, he can be closer today. (7) QUEEN YARA and (11) NAKDONG MYEONGJAK other place chances.

Busan Race 7: Class 4 (1600M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million
Competitive race. (3) SEOGWI OREUM won back-to-back races in April and at the beginning of May, the latter at this class over 1400M. He stepped up to the mile for the first time on May 30th and ran a good 2nd place having briefly led in the straight. He carries his fair share of weight, but he can go one better. (4) DUSTIN MARINE has been a beaten favourite in his latest two, both at this class over 1800M. He was 2nd on his only previous try at the mile and with Seo Seung-un climbing on for the first ime, he can be given another chance today. (6) STAR FURY was a class and distance winner on June 6th and while he is up 3kg in weight, warrants respect here. (8) TRIPLE SINHWA and (5) WHO IS NEXT among plenty of other chances.
Selections | (3) Seogwi Oreum (4) Dustin Marine (6) Star Fury (8) Triple Sinhwa |

Busan Race 8: Class 2 (2000M) Handicap / KRW 90 Million
(8) GEUMA GUTTY has never finished any worse than 4th and comes in having won two of his latest three, most recently over 1800M on May 11th. He comes up in class and up to 2000M for the first time, but he can measure up. (7) DOCTOR CAPTAIN has run 3rd and 2nd in his latest two, both at this class and distance and beating several of these in the process. That brings him up in weight today, but he shapes as a danger. (3) BACKTOTHELEGEND has been beaten by Doctor Captain in both of his latest two, but he is the only one in the field to hold a win over this distance and drawn well, he can get on pace and be in this a long way again. (10) NICE BIG GUY and (5) GEUMA DISTINCTION among plenty of others in the frame in a competitive finale.
