Busan Korea Race 1 - 6 1/2F Stakes
POWERFUL BATTLE (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a head from the winner in second over 1300m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SAENAE HILL (2) is a 12-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1200m after being in the firing line on the corner. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. NOBLE WIND (8) debuted three weeks ago when he finished fourth over 1200m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Top-three chance with that run under his belt. FANTASTIC CITY (5) is a colt by Musket Man out of Baekdu Cat who is at the races for the first time today. Has trialled two times leading into this. Could pay to watch for market confidence.
