Busan Korea Race 5 - 6F Stakes
CHOEGANG SSONSAL (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a head from the winner in second over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. FANTASTIC KINGDOM (3) returns from a spell of 11 weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when seventh over 1200m at Seoul. Has a strong record here, including eight wins. Likely to feature. DAEJI CHOICE (4) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when 14th over 1600m at this track after he got a long way back. Cherry-ripe now and is among the main hopes. DOCTOR CAESAR (1) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a sixth over 1800m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Hard to beat in this suitable race.

Second run from a spell sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at this track on July 13 over 1800m, 8 len behind Great Winner with 55.5kg at $16.50.

Returns from a 48-day let-up. Most recently 5th of 10 at this track on June 15 over 1400m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Star Matta with 59kg at $7. The run before that 5th of 9 at this track on May 30 over 2000m, 10 len behind Despite Win with 58kg at $29. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.
