Sunday’s racing is at Seoul with 11 races from 10:35 to 18:00, and at Busan with 6 races from 12:05 to 16:30. Here are the previews:

Seoul Race 1: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

Not the strongest of maidens to kick off with. (1) BILLION BOY trotted along at the back on debut but was a much-improved 2^nd at start two over this distance on January 19^th, leading for much of the way. He draws well to lead again and won’t need to improve very much to win this. (3) DUSON EUTTEUM also picked up on her latest when 4^th in a filly only maiden at the end of December. She comes in fresh after nine weeks off and can build on that here. (11) SEMYEONG STRONG has a 2^nd place on his record and while he must contend with the widest gate, he has a decent finish on him and can challenge late. (6) COMMAND BLUE and (8) CYCLONE STAR are others who could improve.  

Selections	(1) Billion Boy (3) Duson Eutteum (11) Semyeong Strong (6) Command Blue
Next Best	8, 5
Fast Start	1, 2, 4, 5

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

(1) CUPID K has been knocking at the door across her five starts so far, most recently a 2^nd place over this distance on January 25^th when slow away and running on well. If she can be a bit further forward a bit earlier, she is very much the one to beat here. (7) JOSE also has a 2^nd place on her record and comes in following a 4^th at 1200M on January 19^th. She should be on pace in this company and can be in this a long way. (2) GOOGOO ran 2^nd last time in a slow race at 1400M. She has placed at this trip too, and from a nice draw can sit behind whatever early speed there is and can challenge. (6) DIRT SPOON and (8) KING WARRIOR are among others with at least placing chances.

Selections	(1) Cupid K (7) Jose (2) Googoo (6) Dirt Spoon
Next Best	8, 10
Fast Start	4, 7, 8, 9

Seoul Race 3: Class 6 (1400M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(3) UMA DACHI ran a shock 2^nd place at this distance at odds of 65/1 on February 9^th, settling midfield and running on. While that may have been unexpected, in this company a similar effort can see him go one better. (10) PERFECT DANAEUN hinted at improvement last time out on January 18^th when 4^th over this distance. He can settle back in this field and can run into some money again. (2) BLUE SUN has finished 5^th in both starts so far at 1200M and 1400M. He draws well here and with Maia climbing on, can get closer. (9) K N STORM beat a couple of these on his way to 3^rd place at this distance on January 26^th and in a race that is no stronger can be in the hunt again. (4) HIGH FOLLY perhaps the best of a limited rest.

Selections	(3) Uma Dachi (10) Perfect Danaeun (2) Blue Sun (9) K N Storm
Next Best	4, 6
Fast Start	1, 4, 5, 7

Busan Race 1: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(3) PLUTO won a trial at the tail end of last year and then ran a solid 2^nd place on debut on January 24^th, leading for much of the way around and beating a couple of today’s rivals in the process. He should have come on for that run and will be a warm favourite to go all the way this time. (10) BEOLGYOUI HIM was 4^th in that same race after a slow start saw him settle right back. He also has a 2^nd place to his name and with the wide draw not a problem he can challenge late here. (6) SO GOOD was an improved 3^rd place at start number three on January 17^th only narrowly on the wrong side of a tight three-way finish. Seo Seung-un stays aboard and he can be a danger. (4) CHOEGANG TRIPLE and (8) JEONGMUN FELIX are the other contenders.

Selections	(3) Pluto (10) Beolgyoui Him (6) So Good (4) Choegang Triple
Next Best	8, 9
Fast Start	3, 4, 8, 9

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

Fillies and mares only here. (9) BEOLGYO GRAMMY got her maiden win at 1000M last October and then took a couple of goes to get to grips with this level. Last time out she overcame a wide draw to come from off the pace for a solid 3^rd place over this distance and while she carries 2kg more this time, she can win. (7) ANDAMIRO was a beaten favourite in a similar race to this on February 9^th when settling midfield but only managing to run on for 5^th. At her previous start she was a good 3^rd and from a slightly better gate today, she can be given another chance. (4) SEOMDOLMORU is yet to win but is up in class following back-to-back 2^nd places at this distance. She carries a light weight, she draws well, and she can measure up in this modest company. (3) SEMYEONG DIA and (10) GULJAK SUN are perhaps the best of a limited rest.

Selections	(9) Beolgyo Grammy (7) Andamiro (4) Seomdolmoru (3) Semyeong Dia
Next Best	10, 2
Fast Start	1, 3, 9, 10

Busan Race 2: Class 5 (1300M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(4) MORNING DEW got his maiden win three starts back and has since raced twice at this class, both times ending in 3^rd place at 1200M, most recently on January 24^th when beating a couple of today’s rivals. In this company he can be expected to be on or close to the pace – as he was when he won – and he is the one to beat here. (10) MONSTER DRAGON returns to action for the first time since last May. Before the layoff he registered a win and three 3^rd places from four starts and has been gelded since. He trialed up well and while his match fitness will have to be taken on trust, he has quality. (11) MAENGNYONG is yet to win but has four 2^nd places from five starts and should be there or thereabouts again. (1) EVERY KING IJI and (7) STORMING MAGIC others in the frame.

Selections	(4) Morning Dew (10) Monster Dragon (11) Maengnyong (1) Every King Iji
Next Best	7, 5
Fast Start	3, 4, 6, 11

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

It’s been seven starts since (6) SHINE BOLT got his maiden win, but he has put in a few decent efforts since, not least last time out on January 25^th when he was an on pace 2^nd at this class and distance. Ruan Maia rode him for the first time that day and he stays on here with every chance of going one better. (10) NURI CHEONWANG got his maiden win at this class and distance on January 18^th, coming from off the pace. He comes up 3.5kg in weight but he has never finished worse than 2^nd and he can be firmly in the mix again. (7) MORE THAN JOKE has been the beaten favourite on each of his last three outings. His latest effort was his only poor one though and from a slightly better gate he can be given another chance today, if not as favourite. (3) LEGEND WOW and (5) SCALE KING the other contenders.

Selections	(6) Shine Bolt (10) Nuri Cheonwang (7) More Than Joke (3) Legend Wow
Next Best	5, 2
Fast Start	1, 7, 9, 11
