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

(11) SLING STAR ran a very close 2^nd on debut over this distance on April 27^th, racing on pace throughout. He should have come on for that run and while he has the challenge of the wide gate, he can win and he should have a fitness edge on his main rivals. (2) SMART A ONE has a 3^rd and a 2^nd from two starts so far, last time out leading for much of the way before being taken down by Ginshari Boy late. She was lame after that but has ten trackwork sessions in her and can go well first up. (6) NAOL HUNTER was an improved 3^rd at start tow back in February, racing handy throughout. He too went lame after but has been back in regular work for almost a month. (10) VICAR DRAGON and (7) MONEY FOUR SEASON are others to consider for improvement.

Selections	(11) Sling Star (2) Smart A One (6) Naol Hunter (10) Vicar Dragon
Next Best	7, 1
Fast Start	2, 5, 6, 11

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

Fillies only in this maiden. Plenty of these raced one another on April 25^th and it was (8) GOOD FRIEND who came out the best of them, coming from well off the pace. That was her best finish to date, and it’s enough to put her on top to go one better here. (1) LADY FOX has had a stop start to her career and while she has a 2^nd, and a 3^rd on her record, she didn’t do much in two efforts around the turn of the year when returning from six months out. She now returns from an almost five-month layoff, but she looked very well in two recent trials and if she brings that form to the races, she can be a danger. (9) GIDAEHARA and (10) WIND STORM were among those behind Good Friend on April 25^th and can get closer this time. (3) POETIC NUBI another in the hunt.

Selections	(8) Good Friend (1) Lady Fox (9) Gidaehara (10) Wind Storm
Next Best	3, 7
Fast Start	4, 5, 6, 9

Seoul Race 3: Class 6 (1300M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

Competitive race. (9) BULGEUNTAEYANG ran a solid 4^th on debut over 1200M on March 19^th, overcoming a slow start to run on. He should have derived benefit from that and with some natural improvement, has as good a chance as any here. (1) LASER RUN picked up on his latest when 4^th at 1200M. He similarly was away slowly but coming into a much better gate today can be on pace and can be in this a long way. (7) SAINT WINNER enters off a useful 3^rd place at start number four over 1200M on April 27^th and can be there or thereabouts again. (4) MALSGO has the fastest time among those who have previously tackled the 1300M and that’s enough to have him in the numbers. (3) GEOSEN JIJON the other logical contender based on her last start.

Selections	(9) Bulgeuntaeyang (1) Laser Run (7) Saint Winner (4) Malsgo
Next Best	3, 6
Fast Start	1, 3, 4, 7

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

(6) FUNNY TAP got her maiden win at start two last October in an all-filly maiden over 1200M, showing on pace throughout. She then had a chip removed but has been back in regular work since the beginning of April and she looked very well when 3^rd in a trial at the end of that month. Moon Se-young is on and she can make a winning return. (7) SOLAIRE is three starts into a comeback following five months out. He’s made good progress across those three, culminating in 2^nd place at this distance last time out on April 20^th and can go close again here. (8) RAON NIZHINSKII’s latest couple have only been fair but he did get his sole win so far at this distance and can be in the mix. (5) DANCING GANGJA and (3) GREEN CONCORD are others to consider, the latter being forgiven for his bad start last time.

Selections	(6) Funny Tap (7) Solaire (8) Raon Nizhinskii (5) Dancing Gangja
Next Best	3, 9
Fast Start	2, 3, 5, 6
