Busan is on vacation this weekend so Seoul goes it alone. There are 9 races on Saturday from 10:35 to 18:00. Here are the previews:

Seoul Race 1: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A

Maiden juveniles in the opener with four of the nine racing for the first time. (1) SILVER RAIN was slow away on debut over 1000M on June 15^th but rain on very pleasingly for 3^rd place, beating a couple of today’s rivals He should strip fitter, he draws well, and the additional furlong can suit. (5) CHEONGSAN JILJU debuted in the same race and was better fancied having run well in trials. He performed adequately, running on for 4^th and he too can be better for the experience. (6) WONDERFUL NORTHERN was relatively well supported on debut following a promising trial but was slow away and a long way back over 1000M. With a better start and an extra furlong, he can be given another chance. Among the first timers, (9) BEOLGYOUI STAR was the best in trials showing close to the front and stopping the clock in a fair time. (2) EUNPA MUSIC another who hinted at ability.

Selections	(1) Silver Rain (5) Cheongsan Jilju (6) Wonderful Northern (9) Beolgyoui Star
Next Best	2, 3
Fast Start	2, 5, 7, 9

Seoul Race 2: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(3) COING has a 2^nd and a 3^rd from two starts so far, showing on pace in both, although last time out two weeks ago, he was wayward in the home straight to the extent that he got sent back to trial. They didn’t hang about with him, putting him through a heat last week which he completed without expending much effort and he is quickly in again here with winning chances. The favourite will be (7) TRIPLE ACE. After an inauspicious debut, she overcame gate elven at start number two on July 7^th to run 3^rd over this distance, well beaten by a good winner but showing great improvement. She comes into a slightly better gate and can continue to make progress here. (8) ULTRA HIT has a pair of 3^rd place finishes to her name at this distance and if we draw a line through her latest over 1300M, she can be in the mix here. (6) FLYING RED and first-timer starter (10) IRON LEG are others to consider.

Selections	(3) Coing (7) Triple Ace (8) Ultra Hit (6) Flying Red
Next Best	10, 4
Fast Start	3, 4, 6, 7

Seoul Race 3: Class 5 (1400M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(3) SANSAMEUN HAMYANG took a couple of goes to get accustomed to this level but based on her latest effort on June 23^rd when 2^nd on what was her first try at this distance, she is getting here. In this company and from a good draw she can be expected to be ridden forward, and she can win. (7) STORM GUY has mixed his form, but he comes in following a close runner-up finish at this class and distance on June 30^th when he led for much of the way. He’ll be on pace again here and will be in this a long way. (8) LEGEND TAP is yet to win in eight attempts and is up in class here. However, he comes down in the weights and his last start 2^nd was in a time that will be competitive at this level. (6) EUREKA and (2) GREEN FEELSTAR others in the hunt.

Selections	(3) Sansameun Hamyang (7) Storm Guy (8) Legend Tap (6) Eureka
Next Best	2, 4
Fast Start	2, 3, 4, 7

Seoul Race 4: Class 5 (1300M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(8) JANGBI DAEUN got her maiden win in fine style at stat number two over 1200M back on May 19^th pulling away to win b a full thirteen-lengths in a quick time. She comes up in class and races for the first time in ten weeks, but the manner of that victory makes her hard to oppose here. (2) NAVY CHROME got her maiden win three starts back and has since run 2^nd in two tries at this class, both over the 1400M. From a great draw, she can be expected to set the pace here and can be in the finish again. (4) DANGCHAN NANGBO is finally up in class after fifteen goes around in class 6. Her latest three have seen her place at this distance and under a light weight, she can be coming from off the pace and running into the money again. (1) SMART CAT and (9) THUNDER BRAVO other placing chances.

Selections	(8) Jangbi Daeun (2) Navy Chrome (4) Dangchan Nangbo (1) Smart Cat
