Saturday’s racing is at Seoul with 10 races from 10:35 to 18:00. Here are the previews:

Seoul Race 1: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 45 Million

Juvenile maidens. (1) DAESEUNGMA has run twice, improving to 4^th in the second of them over 1000M on July 13^th beating a couple of today’s rivals. She draws nicely to be on pace here and today can be her day. (7) TAEPYEONG LEGEND debuted in a very quick race over the minimum distance on July 6^th, running on for 5^th. HE should have derived benefit from the experience and is probably the main danger. (4) FOX TROT was 5^th behind Daeseungma in that July 13^th race. That showed improvement from her debut effort and if she continues to make progress, she can get closer again. (9) ANYANG GIPPEUM and (5) BREEDO TROPHY are others who have hinted at ability.

Selections	(1) Daeseungma (7) Taepyeong Legend (4) Fox Trot (9) Anyang Gippeum
Next Best	5, 8
Fast Start	1, 5, 6, 8

Seoul Race 2: Class 6 (1300M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(2) STUNNING SERVE has shown signs of figuring things out in his latest two with a 4^th and a 3^rd, most recently at this distance on July 13^th when settling midfield and running on. He has the fastest time among these for the distance and today can be his day. (7) AMAZING STAR crossed the line first having led for much of the way over this distance on June 29^th. It wasn’t an especially quick time, and her post-race test came back above a permitted threshold (for flunixin), the latter being why she finds herself still in class 6 without a rating. Nevertheless, she is yet to finish outside of the top four and can be a danger. (1) MONEY TOUCH ran 3^rd on her latest effort on July 21^st, coming from off the pace. She comes up 2kg in the weights, but that’s balanced somewhat by a better gate, and she can place again. (6) YEONGWON POTEN and (11) HIPPODROME others to consider.

Selections	(2) Stunning Serve (7) Amazing Star (1) Money Touch (6) Yeongwon Poten
Next Best	11, 10
Fast Start	1, 6, 7, 8

Seoul Race 3: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

Fillies only in this maiden and the favourite will be (7) OKCHEON WIN STAR. That’s based off her debut effort on July 13^th when she settled midfield before running on for 3^rd place over 1000M. She should have come on for that, the additional furlong can suit, and she is the one to beat. (4) META debuted on July 13^th without high expectations but ran nicely for 4^th place over this distance showing on pace and beating a couple of others who return here. She too can have some natural improvement and go close here. (2) MEGA STEP was an improved 3^rd at start number two back on May 19^th when coming from a long way back She comes in fresh here following thirteen weeks out and can go well first-up. (9) GANDAGO and (10) SHINING CHARM others in the placing frame.

Selections	(7) Okcheon Win Star (4) Meta (2) Mega Step (9) Gandago
Next Best	10, 8
Fast Start	3, 4, 6, 10

Seoul Race 4: Class 5 (1200M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

It’s been a long time since (5) ELITE ROYAL’s solitary win, but her recent form suggests she is ready for another. She comes in having run 2^nd at this class and distance on July 20^th having shown on pace throughout. She comes up 2kg in the weights, but that shouldn’t be a problem and from gate five, she can get an easy run to the front and lead all the way. (8) SONE SONJABGO won back-to-back races in March and May, with the latter at this class. She didn’t run on in her latest effort on June 15^th but comes in fresh after two months off and can be given another chance here. (4) NAOL INDY is an on-pace runner who struggled over 1700M last time out but should appreciate the step back in trip here. (2) RAON THE CLIPPER and (6) JEONGSEONG VICE are the other major placing chances.

Selections	(5) Elite Royal (8) Sone Sonjabgo (4) Naol Indy (2) Raon The Clipper
Next Best	6, 11
Fast Start	2, 4, 5, 11
