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 30 Million

Fillies only in this maiden. (6) GWANAKSAN JOY has four top four finishes from five starts so far, only missing out on her latest when on March 1^st when drawn wide at this distance. She comes in fresh following eleven weeks off and her body of work prior to that is enough to put her on top here. After winning a trial, (8) LUCKY A ONE was a fair 5^th on debut at this distance on April 12^th. She should have come on for that run and can be closer this time. (9) ISEUL CHEOREOM has been unspectacular but consistent across her five appearances with a best of 2^nd at this distance. She has shown on pace and has run on from behind so the wide draw shouldn’t be a problem, and she can challenge here. (11) RAON THE BELMONT and (3) JISAN FRIEND are others to consider.

Selections	(6) Gwanaksan Joy (8) Lucky A One (9) Iseul Cheoreom (11) Raon The Belmont
Next Best	3, 7
Fast Start	5, 6, 7, 8

Seoul Race 2: Class 6 (1400M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(4) HYEOKMYEONGUIJILJU has made steady progress across five starts to date, culminating in a runner-up finish on what was her first try at this distance on April 5^th. From a good draw, she can be on or close to the speed here and she is favoured to go one better. The rest of the form is not impressive although (5) HERO CHOICE seems to be figuring things out with a 3^rd, a 4^th and a 5^th from his latest three. His times haven’t been quick, but he won’t need to improve much to be in the place hunt here. (11) YEONGWON POTEN is still a maiden after fourteen attempts but has plenty if top five finishes and this is the kind of race in which she can pick up a check. (3) CUPID K and (1) YOUNGDONG SINHWA other possibles for the minors.

Selections	(4) Hyeokmyeonguijilju (5) Hero Choice (11) Yeongwon Poten (3) Cupid K
Next Best	1, 2
Fast Start	2, 4, 6, 8

Seoul Race 3: Class 5 (1300M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(2) BEOLGYO LAVA got her maiden win at 1200M three starts back and has since run 3^rd and 2^nd in two tries at this class, racing handy both times. She draws nicely to sit behind the speed here and her finish could prove too strong. To do that, she will need to beat the probable favourite (9) RYAN HEART. He got his maiden win over 1200M at start three in March when leading all the way and then ran 2^nd when trying to repeat on his first try at this class on April 13^th. He draws a touch wider than ideal but if he gets to the front, he will take some passing. (1) SEOUL BINGO was 3^rd to Ryan Heart’s 2^nd at this class and distance on April 13^th and from a great draw can be on pace again. (6) WHITE CARLA and (4) QUEEN ABIGAIL are others to consider.

Selections	(2) Beolgyo Lava (9) Ryan Heart (1) Seoul Bingo (6) White Carla
Next Best	4, 7
Fast Start	1, 6, 8, 9

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

(4) LEGEND WOW was a winner on debut and has since held his own in three outings at this class, most recently a 4^th place over this distance from a wide draw on April 13^th. From today’s draw he should be much further forward much earlier, and he is the one to beat. (6) HANEUL GAMDONG similarly had a wide draw for his first try at this class on April 20^th and was accordingly disappointing. From a central gate he should be more comfortable and the manner of his win two starts back suggests another chance is warranted. (1) SEGWANG JILJU comes in off back-to-back 4^th places at this class over 1200M and 1300M and under a light weight can be pushing for better here. (9) BYEOKSONG and (3) VICTORY QUEEN the other main place chances.

Selections	(4) Legend Wow (6) Haneul Gamdong (1) Segwang Jilju (9) Byeoksong
Next Best	3, 2
Fast Start	1, 2, 4, 9
