BUSAN   12 Jul 2024
 
GOING: S

Class 5 Handicap 1200m

Track: AW   Rain (Max: 26)   True  

Queen Sophia, Black Jilju and World Best Cat to match motors but there will be plenty of pressure from other quarters. BLACK JILJU (6) was sent out favourite last time and scored by a neck over today's trip at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and three placings. Can go on with it. QUEEN SOPHIA (2) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1200m at this track a month ago. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. WORLD BEST CAT (1) is returning from a spell of 14 months. Finished seventh at this track over 1200m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Youn Young Hun. Fitter for a fourth in a recent trial over 1000m at Busan. One of the genuine hopes in the race. ROAD TO THUNDER (7) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1300m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. No surprise to see her in the frame.
