BUSAN   24 May 2024
 
GOING: F

Class 3 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 25)   True  

Moderate tempo with Nakdong Jeonsa leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. RISE THE THRONE (1) scored two back then sat on the pace last time when 9 lengths away in third over 1200m at this track. Lee Hyo Sik who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Leading contender. NAKDONG JEONSA (6) is a distance specialist who finished sixth two runs back at this track and then improved last time out to score by 6 lengths after being prominent at the bend over a mile at this track. The engagement of Choi Eun Gyeong is a positive move. He can take the next step immediately. RAON THE POWER (7) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when seventh over 1800m at this track. Will strip fitter and is ready to show what he can do. AREUMDAUN INYEON (8) did not fire last start and will enjoy the drop back to a mile here. Stick with her on an each-way basis.
