Busan Korea Race 9 - 6f Hcap
GANGSEO GIANT (3) returned with a sound third behind Biwol at this track, making ground from a difficult position, and the drop back to 1200m suits a mare with three wins and one placing from nine starts at this track and distance. She also brings the strongest recent profile among the main hopes and has the right form to take this. MIRACLE MARINE (2) is the clear danger on overall record, with six wins and four places from 15 starts at this venue, plus the advantage of being third-up with class and weight relief. The query is his limited 1200m record, but his best form is good enough. JEULGEOUNYEOJEONG (6) worked home well in Open company at Seoul and has a high-class career profile, though she is still looking to turn that into a sharper recent result. CHOEGANG SSONSAL (5) was plain last start, but his previous third in COND B grade and long-established 1200m record give him a realistic minor-money case.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing tenth in an Open at Seoul, beaten over 13 lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. His start prior at this venue was worse, as he was tailed off behind Roshe after being sent out at big odds. The 1200m record is solid and the weight relief helps, but recent form leaves him with a substantial turnaround to produce.

Returns from a five-week freshening and should be ready to peak third-up after finishing fifth behind Biwol at this track, where he was poised to challenge before being only fair late. His overall venue record is strong, with six wins and four places from 15 starts, and class and weight relief add to the case. The 1200m record is the caution, but his best form makes him a major player.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a solid first-up third behind Biwol at this track, making up ground from well back to get into the money. She had earlier worked home fairly in an Open at this venue, and her three wins plus one placing from nine starts at this track and distance read well for this setup. With class and weight relief, she has the right platform to win.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending his last campaign with a last placing at this track, where he was never competitive and was beaten out of sight at long odds. His prior run was also plain, finishing second last behind Battle Cry. The counterpoint is a useful track-and-trip profile of one win and five places from 11 starts, which keeps him in the minor-placing discussion if he resumes sharply.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing eighth behind Biwol at this track, beaten over 13 lengths after settling well back and failing to run on. The run prior was better, as he was third in COND B company at this venue at big odds. His long 1200m record is strong enough to respect and Jung Do Yun has placed with him four times, so he shapes as a place hope rather than a win standout.

Worked home well for fifth in an Open at Seoul last start, beaten over 12 lengths but finishing just behind the placegetters in a stronger race shape on paper. She had earlier run fourth behind Biwol in COND B grade at this track after picking up nicely from the back. A 13-win career record and strong partnership with Seo Seung Un give her enough quality to be in the money.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last behind Biwol at this track, where he was unwanted in the market and made no impression. His sixth two back in COND B grade was also well held, beaten over 12 lengths after settling midfield. Class relief and a handy track-and-trip record are positives, but he must find far more finishing strength.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a last placing in an Open at Seoul, where she tracked the speed but failed to quicken and was beaten out of sight. That followed a second-last effort as a well-supported favourite at this track. Her five wins and five places from 15 starts at this track and distance are hard to ignore, but recent form says she is only an outside place chance.

Resumes after a three-month break, having ended his last campaign with an eighth behind Biwol at this track when beaten over 16 lengths and never likely from well back. His previous Seoul run on soft ground was only fair, but he has three wins and one placing from 12 starts around 1200m and Masa Tanaka has won four times on him. That keeps him in the place mix if he returns in order.
