There are 12 Saturday races at Seoul from 10:45 to 18:00. It’s a beauiful sunny morning in the Korean capital so come racing! Here are the previews:
Race 1: Class 6 (1000M) Allowance / KRW 22 Million
(1) CHEONGUN ILHO was a decent 5th on her first start back following six months out in August and she can get her maiden breakthrough here. (8) PYEONGCHON CROWN was a solid 4th on debut on July 30th and can build on that today while (3) WONDERFUL LUCKY and (5) ACE TROPHY both look to have scope for improvement.
Selections | (1) Cheongun Ilho (8) Pyeongchon Crwon (3) Wonderful Lucky (5) Ace Trophy |
Next Best | 6 |
Fast Start | 1, 5, 8 |
Race 2: Class 6 (1000M) Allowance / KRW 22 Million
Interesting contest here. (3) REBECCA and (10) MR. KING have both had a few near misses but remain maidens after plenty of starts. They should both be close but of the two, it’s Rebecca who looks to have the stronger claims of getting one in the win column today. They may, however, both find themselves beaten by (9) BROWN BOMBER. He showed promise on debut, finishing 6th of 12 at this distance four weeks ago and should have come for it. (6) FIRST QUEEN and (7) BIG AURORA are others in the frame.
Selections | (9) Brown Bomber (3) Rebecca (10) Mr. King (6) First Queen |
Next Best | 7, 2 |
Fast Start | 3, 5, 7 |
Race 3: Class 6 (1200M) Allowance / KRW 60 Million
(7) FIORE was just beaten a nose on what was her second career start over 1300M on August 19th. She’ll be strong favourite to score here in this all-juvenile race. Her main threat may come from a first-time starter. (4) THE JIJON was a smart trial winner in August and looks nicely in here first-up. (3) WILD DRAGON also looked promising in trials and looks an interesting first-timer while (2) OPI WINTER has every chance of building on a reasonably encouraging debut in a valuable race at this distance on August 20th.
Selections | (7) Fiore (2) Opi Winter (3) Wild Dragon (4) The Jijon |
Next Best | 1, 5 |
Fast Start | 3, 4 |
Race 4: Class 6 (1000M) Allowance / KRW 22 Million
Stepped back to the minimum trip today, (8) BAEKSAN YEOWANG can get on the early speed and stay on to get her maiden win here over distinctly average opposition. (6) HIGH STAR was 2nd in an even weaker race than this last time and could get close while (more…)
