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

Seoul Race 1: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 45 Million
Twelve previously unraced two-year-olds here so we must head to the trial videos. (11) KING MASTER ran 3rd in his trial behind a horse who has gone on to win (and, in fairness, one who has not). He showed close to the pace and with Moon Se-young booked, will have plenty of backers. (5) LIVE STAR beat a couple of today’s rivals when running 5th in his heat, coming from well off the pace. 1200M should suit first up. (4) GEOSEN PUNCH led in his trial, ultimately coming 2nd in a fair time. That was back in mid-May, so it has taken a while for him to get to the races, but he draws well to lead again. (3) THUNDER RUN and (12) JIJON BULPAE others who hinted at ability.

| Fast Start | 1, 3, 4, 11 |
Seoul Race 2: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million
After a series of trials, (8) RAON FLORENCE finally debuted on May 31st and showed ability with a 2nd place over this distance, showing on pace throughout. He should have come on for that run, and he can go one better today. Debut maker (3) CHRYSOL STONE was a trial winner in June, settling midfield and running on. 1200M can suit first up and she can challenge here. (4) SILLAUI FIGHTER led on debut over 1300M ultimately finishing in 4th place. He should have come on for the experience and nicely drawn can lead again and be in this a long way. (7) MADE and (9) THE EXCELLENT are others who could potentially improve from their respective debuts.
| Selections | (8) Raon Florence (3) Chrysol Stone (4) Sillaui Fighter (7) Made |
| Next Best | 9, 2 |
| Fast Start | 1, 2, 4, 8 |
Seoul Race 3: Class 6 (1400M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million
(4) HAKSAN PRINCE enters off a best to date 2nd place over 1300M on Juen 22nd when settling back and running on. Ruan Maia climbs on for the first time and he won’t need to improve much, if at all, to win this. Nothing else enters off a very good start so we’ll go on the past form of (6) CUPID K. Her latest couple of outings have been indifferent but she has four finishes between 2nd and 5th in her seven total appearances and that’s enough to put her in the mix here. (1) SPICE BAND has finished 6th in both her starts so far, both over 1200M. She has been doing her best work late so the step up to 1400M can suit. (3) LUGE and (2) SMART NOTION are other place chances.
| Selections | (4) Haksan Prince (6) Cupid K (1) Spice Band (3) Luge |
| Next Best | 2, 8 |
| Fast Start | 2, 4, 6, 8 |
Busan Race 1: Class 6 (1300M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million
It’s hard to go past (1) HEUIMANG TAYO here. After a 2nd place on debut, he ran 3rd from the widest gate in a quick race on June 22nd. Both of those were over 1200M and from a much better draw, he can get an easy run to the lead and will be a short price to break through. (2) MAMBO SIDAE picked up with a 3rd place at start number three over 1300M on June 20th. She can settle just behind the pace here and she can challenge late on again. (10) ILLUSION is yet to finish any better than 4th, something she has done in three of her last four starts. In this company, she should be aiming to match or better that. (3) AMAZING ONE and (5) GRACE CAL are others in the hunt.
| Selections | (1) Heuimang Tayo (2) Mambo Sidae (10) Illusion (3) Amazing One |
| Next Best | 5, 11 |
| Fast Start | 1, 3, 9, 11 |
Seoul Race 4: Class 5 (1200M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million
(4) ANYANGBITCHUISOKDO was a winner on debut over 1000M on June 21st, showing on pace throughout. He is up in class and up in distance today, but he should have come on for that run and from a good draw, he can lead again and win again. (9) SEOUL BINGO took a couple of goes to get accustomed to this class, but he comes in off a 3rd and a 2nd from his latest two, both at this class and both times racing close to the pace. In this company he too can be on the speed again and in this a long way. (2) ROAD TO A SPUR and (1) SAEROUN GUY are both still maidens. The latter was much better than the former when they raced one another on June 14th but from good draws, both can be in the mix here. (7) GROW another in line for the minors.
| Selections | (4) Anyangbitchuisokdo (9) Seoul Bingo (2) Road To A Spur (1) Saeroun Guy |
| Next Best | 7, 3 |
| Fast Start | 2, 4, 9, 10 |
Busan Race 2: Class 4 (1300M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million
(2) SPEED TOP has two wins, and three runner-up finishes from five starts so far with his latest being a success at this class over 1200M in a quick time on June 8th. He comes up 3.5kg in weight but he doesn’t seem to be done yet and he can win again here. (9) SANGIM BOLT beat three of today’s rivals when a front-running winner at this class and distance on June 29th. That was just his second win in twenty-two starts and he is up by the same 3.5kg, but in this company, he can be competitive. (10) DOCTOR HAPPY led for much of the way around on her first try at this class over 1200M last time out. She comes in fresh after eleven weeks off and can be in the mix. (1) QUEEN AND SERVE and (3) MEETING ST are other place chances.
| Selections | (2) Speed Top (9) Sangim Bolt (10) Doctor Happy (1) Queen And Serve |
| Next Best | 3, 6 |
| Fast Start | 1, 3, 9, 10 |
Seoul Race 5: Class 5 (1300M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million
Fillies only. (2) LALA GIRL is yet to win in seven attempts, but she registered three consecutive runner-up finishes between March and May including at this class and distance. She took a bump at the start when beaten by a couple of these on June 22nd but with a cleaner getaway, today can be her day. (8) RAIN STAR was 2nd in that June 22nd race having been slow away and had to come from a long way back. That has been a bit of a pattern for her, but she is a winner at this distance and can be a threat. (5) TEUKGEUP PARTY and (6) MUNHAK FIGHTER both come up in class following last start maiden wins and both can measure up in this company. (9) SILK SPECTER and (3) I AM GO others in the frame.
| Selections | (2) Lala Girl (8) Rain Star (5) Teukgeup Party (6) Munhak Fighter |
| Next Best | 3, 7 |
| Fast Start | 2, 3, 7, 9 |
