There are 9 races at Seoul on Saturday from 10:35 to 18:00. Here are the previews:
Seoul Race 1: Class 6 (1000M) Special Weight A / KRW 45 Million
Juvenile maidens with all twelve racing for the first time. A few stood out in trials with (4) PANGPANG DAERO chief among them. He led for much of the way around in his trial ultimately crossing the line a close 2nd and looking assured. Maia is a plus and he draws very nicely. (12) STUNNING SKET went through two trials, showing close to the pace in the second of them. He has the challenge of the widest gate here but will have plenty of backers. (11) EODIDEUNJI was 2nd in his trial also having shown on the speed. He too may need a bit of luck to find a position but has every chance. (3) LUCKY JOY and (10) DONGGANGUI STAR the others who hinted at ability in their heats.

| Next Best | 10, 8 |
| Fast Start | 1, 4, 11, 12 |
Seoul Race 2: Class 4 (1000M) Special Weight A / KRW 75 Million
Imported maidens with six racing for the first time. (4) NAMSAN BELT went through two trials and significantly improved in the second of them (it was voluntary so may not appear in all racecards, but it was on July 31st posting a time of 62.2). From a good draw she should be on the speed, and she can go all the way. (10) HAENGUNUI YEOSIN won her trial in good order a month ago and while she draws wide, she can be in the mix. Among the experienced ones, (8) WASSOIDA was a solid 3rd on debut over this distance on July 13th, racing handy throughout. He should have come on for that run and can match or better that here. (1) MY EMPIRE and (7) K N ROSE others in the hunt.

Seoul Race 3: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million
After an indifferent debut, (3) COMPLETE BRO was a much-improved 3rd at start number two on July 13th when racing handy throughout. Third up he can be peaking and from a good draw he should be on pace and can win. (2) CHEONGRYONG GIUN’s latest two over 1300M have seen him weaken late but he has a 3rd place to his name over this trip and Moon Se-young keeping faith means we will too. (10) MUNHAK DANCE enters off a runner-up finish at this trip on August 2nd when coming from well off the pace and she can be charging home late again here. (7) NURI EUTTEUM and (9) HWANGGEUM MASK are others in the placing frame.

Seoul Race 4: Class 5 (1200M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million
Competitive race. (6) POWER BAND enters off a 2nd place last time out at this class and distance on August 2nd when settling midfield and running on. She has a very smart finish on her and if in the mix late, she will take some holding off. (3) YEOWANG SOCKS is in good form with a 2nd and two 3rd place finishes from his latest three. In this company and from a good gate, he can be on pace, and he should be in this a long way. (4) JERAQUEEN came from off the pace to win at this class and distance on July 5th. Under today’s conditions, she stays under a light weight and can be close again. (8) RAON SPILETTA and (2) FLYING LION among plenty of others in the hunt.
