Saturday’s racing is at Seoul with 12 races from 10:35 to 18:00. Here are the previews:

Seoul Race 1: Class 6 (1300M) Special Weight A / KRW 45 Million

Juveniles with seven of the twelve racing for the first time. We’ll side with a first timer and (8) SAHARA KHAN who showed on pace in his trial, crossing the line 2^nd in a quick time. If he brings that form to the races, he has every chance first up. (11) SSOARA STAR ran a close 2^nd on his debut over 1200M on December 12^th, settling behind the speed and running on. He should have come on for that run and the slight step up in trip can suit.  (12) JEULGEOUN SANGSANG was 3^rd on his debut on November 24^th, running through the line pleasingly enough and he can be in the frame again here. So too can (2) GWANAKSAN CHECK IN who debuted back in September with a fair 5^th but trialed up again in November and can improve. Returning to the first timers, (7) BS STORM looks next best based on trials.

Selections	(8) Sahara Khan (11) Ssoara Star (12) Jeulgeoun Sangsang (2) Gwanaksan Check In
Next Best	7, 5
Fast Start	2, 6, 8, 11

Seoul Race 2: Class 4 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 75 Million

Imported juvenile maidens with five of the twelve racing for the first time. (2) DREAMER WHIZ has a 3^rd and a 2^nd from his two starts so far at 1000M and 1200M. He was well beaten by the very promising Tap Tier last time out but in this company and well-drawn, he can be on pace, and he can go one better. (7) BLUE PIORA has a 3^rd and a 4^th from her two first appearances at 1200M and 1300M, settling back and running on both times. She has shown good late speed and shapes as the main danger here. (3) DANCING GRAYTIZ ran 3^rd on debut behind Dreamer Whiz on November 24^th, coming from well off the pace. He has three-lengths to make up but should have come on for that run. Among the first timers, (5) MIGHTY SWEET and (10) HANAM ELDORADO perhaps have the best chance of an immediate impact.

Selections	(2) Dreamer Whiz (7) Blue Piora (3) Dancing Graytiz (5) Mighty Sweet
Next Best	10, 4
Fast Start	2, 4, 8, 10

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

Fillies only in this maiden. (2) BYEOKSONG debuted over 1200M on November 23^rd and raced handy before running 3^rd.  The time wasn’t quick, and she was a long way behind the winner, but she should have come on for the run, and she has every chance. (5) GWANAKSAN JOY was 4^th in that race on November 23^rd having led through the early stages. She also has a 2^nd place on her record and well-drawn, she can lead again and be in this a long way. (9) YONGAM SARANG did nothing in her first two starts in September and October, but she looked much better when sent back to trial earlier this month and can be given another chance. (3) STUNNING WORLD and (11) NAEGILUI CHAMP are other potential improvers.

Selections	(2) Byeoksong (5) Gwanaksan Joy (9) Yongam Sarang (3) Stunning World
Next Best	11, 10
Fast Start	5, 8, 9, 10

Seoul Race 4: Class 6 (1400M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(2) SPLENDID has been knocking on the door across his six starts so far and comes in following the best of them when 3^rd over 1300M on November 24^th when leading in the home straight. He draws very nicely to lead again, and this time can go all the way. (9) ECLIPSE BLACK did nothing on debut in a very tough Listed race in September but has since put in a 3^rd and a 4^th in two subsequent outings, racing handy both times. He has the challenge of a wide draw, but he can be a danger here. (6) CRAZE CHANG is yet to finish in the top two in eleven outings, but he has finished between 3^rd and 5^th in no fewer than six occasions, and this is the kind of race he can pick up another cheque in. (3) CUPID K and (4) RAON THE BELMONT are others in the placing frame.

Selections	(2) Splendid (9) Eclipse Black (6) Craze Chang (3) Cupid K
Next Best	4, 8
Fast Start	1, 2, 8, 9

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

(10) GEOSEN GANGHO ran 2^nd in both his first two starts to get promoted to this level and then ran 3^rd on his class 5 bow over 1300M on November 16^th when settling midfield and running on. He continues under a light weight here and while he draws a touch wider than ideal, he’ll be the favourite to make his breakthrough. (3) THEME TANSAENG finally made his breakthrough two starts back at this class and distance. He carries his fair share or weight here but draws nicely and can be a threat. (11) YUSUBUJAENGSEON has a 3^rd and a 4^th in two tries at this class since a maiden win in October. He comes up to 1400M for the first time and has proven tactically versatile so the wide gate shouldn’t be a problem. Up in class (4) WONDERFUL FAPPY along with (8) DREAM CARD are others in the hunt.

Selections	(10) Geosen Gangho (3) Theme Tansaeng (11) Yusubujaengseon (4) Wonderful Fappy
Next Best	8, 6
Fast Start	3, 4, 10, 11
