The Busan Owners’ Cup headlines Sunday racing. The final Group race until August is the concluding event on the 6-race program at Busan which runs from 12:05 to 16:30. There are 11 races at Seoul from 10:35 to 18:00. Here are the previews:

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

Competitive maiden with three of the eleven racing for the first time. (4) RAON THE BIG RED went back to trial between his first and second starts and was much improved in the latter, running 3^rd at this distance on May 25^th. Third up he can be peaking and from a good draw, he can win. (8) AFLEET RUN has four top five finishes from his five outings to date with his best being a 2^nd place at this distance in March. He should be on pace here and can be in this a long way. Among the first timers, (2) MUJEHAN GEUP looks the most likely to make an immediate impact based on trials. Returning to the experience, (7) BEST DREAM and (10) SPICE BAND may improve.

Selections	(4) Raon The Big Red (8) Afleet Run (2) Mujehan Geup (7) Best Dream
Next Best	10, 6
Fast Start	1, 6, 7, 8

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

Fillies only in this maiden. (7) GYEOUL JANGMI enters off a 2^nd and a 3^rd from her latest two, both at 1300M and both times settling midfield and running on. The step up to 1400M can suit and she is the one to beat here. The danger is (10) CLUB Q. She has a 3^rd and a 2^nd in her two outings, the latter at 1300M on June 1sr. She too has been doing her best work late and third up she can be peaking. (11) WONDERFUL CATHAY was an improved 3^rd at start number five when tried at this distance for the first time on May 24^th and while she has the challenge of the widest gate, she can build on that here. (9) GEOLJAK CHUKJE and (2) TRIPLE JENNY among plenty of others in the placing frame.

Selections	(7) Gyeoul Jangmi (10) Club Q (11) Wonderful Cathay (9) Geoljak Chukje

Fast Start	2, 7, 8, 9

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

(2) KING WARRIOR got his maiden win two outings back at this distance and followed up with a solid 4^th place at 1400M on his first try at this class on May 18^th when he led for much of the way around. He is fairly weighted, draws well to lead, and cut slightly back in trip he can go all the way. (7) YEONGGWANGUI SKY had been building towards a maiden win, and it duly arrived on May 25^th when he led all the way over 1200M. He comes up in class and slightly in trip, but he is down in weight, and he can measure up. (4) POWER BAND has a 3^rd and a 4^th from his latest two, both at this class over 1400M and under a light weight she can be there or thereabouts again. (8) SONE SONJABGO and (3) FREE TIME are the other minor money chances.

Selections	(2) King Warrior (7) Yeonggwangui Sky (4) Power Band (8) Sone Sonjabgo
Next Best	3, 9
Fast Start	2, 3, 4, 7

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

Maidens with four of the eleven racing for the first time. After an ordinary debut, (11) GRAND MORE was a significantly improved 2^nd at start number two on May 16^th, leading for most of the way and only going down very narrowly. He needs to navigate the widest gate but if he gets to the front he will be difficult to pass. (4) WORLD TOP TIER was a creditable 3^rd on debut over 1200M on May 23^rd. She should have come on for that run and shapes as the main danger. Among the first timers, (7) CHAMPUI SIDAE ran 3^rd in a fair time in a trial in late May and if she brings that form to the races, she can be competitive first up. (5) JIJONSANBANG also hinted at ability across two heats and can be considered. Returning to experienced ones, (3) OWNER CHAMP is perhaps the next most likely to improve.

Selections	(11) Grand More (4) World Top Tier (7) Champui Sidae (5) Jijonsanbang
Next Best	3, 6
Fast Start	1, 4, 8, 11

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

(6) FUNNY TAP raced twice last autumn for one win over this distance and then didn’t re-appear until May. She looked very good on her return, finishing 2^nd at this class and distance on May 24^th. She should strip fitter for that run, and she will be a hot favourite to go one better here. It’s been a while since (8) SOLAIRE got his solitary win, but he comes in with recent form reading well with a 3^rd, a 2^nd, and a 4^th from his latest three, most recently behind Funny Tap in that May 24^th race. He likes to come from off the pace, and he can be a danger late here. (5) GANDAGO was a winner at this class over 1400M two starts back and while he can mix his form, can be in the finish again. (2) GROW, a big price winner at this class last time, along with (4) ARCH RUNNER, are other place chances.

Selections	(6) Funny Tap (8) Solaire (5) Gandago (2) Grow
Next Best	4, 1
Fast Start	3, 4, 6, 9
