Busan Korea Race 1 - 6 1/2F Stakes
YEONGGWANGUI HONEY (5) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1300m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Has the talent to figure prominently. NAMYANG RUBY (9) resumes from a spell of five months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1200m at this track. Ran seventh in a recent trial at Busan. Set for a bold return. GWANGPUNG STAR (4) has been in the betting recently but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fifth over 1300m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Right in the mix. WONDERFUL SMART (11) is a three-year-old filly at the races for the first time. From a successful breeding line, being by Testa Matta from Yeah Strike. Was out of the placings at Busan at her most recent trial. Should be thereabouts despite a tricky gate.

Resuming. Only had one start last preparation second last of 12 at this track on December 27 over 1200m, 22 len behind Sing For Me carrying 54kg at $21. First up last campaign didn't finish the race at this track March 8 2024 over 1300m. Hard to enthuse.

Was at big odds at debut, eased back early on 7th of 12 at this track on March 7 over 1200m, on a slow track; 16 len behind Seogwi Lady with 54kg at $29. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.
