BUSAN   23 Jan 2026
 
GOING: F

Class 4 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 3)    

Strong pace with Runners High, Magic Eleven and Ronald Duck paving the way. RUNNERS HIGH (3) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back in Listed grade at this track with a win as favourite over 1200m at this track five weeks ago, getting home by 7 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. MAGIC ELEVEN (8) finished seventh two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by a head over 1300m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. RONALD DUCK (6) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with 0.8 lengths to spare over 1200m at this track. One of the main contenders. AIR CITY (5) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when tenth over 1600m at this track, beaten 30 lengths. Nicely placed to play a leading role.
