It’s international day at Seoul on Sunday with the two International G3 races. We’ll have full runner-by-runner guides to those in a while but for now, here are the comments for every race. There are 10 Sunday races at Seoul from 10:35 to 18:00, and 6 at Busan from 11:55 to 16:05:

Seoul Race 1: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 45 Million

Juvenile maidens and (2) GOOD MORNING COME will be a short price favourite. He debuted over 1000M on August 2^nd and overcame the widest gate to run on for 2^nd place, beating three of today’s rivals in the process. He draws much better this time, the additional furlong can suit, and he will take some beating. (1) AGAIN GOOD MAN was 4^th on debut in that same race, similarly coming from off the pace. He previously raced forward in his trial and given today’s draw shapes as an early front-runner. (3) POWERFUL PARTNER is the only one in the field who has raced twice, improving to 3^rd at start two and she may have a fitness edge on plenty here. (8) EAN PERFECT and (9) MIGHTY BEAT hinted at ability on their respective debuts.

Selections	(2) Good Morning Come (1) Again Good Man (3) Powerful Partner (8) Ean Perfect
Next Best	9, 4
Fast Start	1, 3, 5, 11

Seoul Race 2: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

Not the strongest of maidens. After an inauspicious debut, (8) MUJEOK HAMDAE was an improved 5^th at start two over this distance on August 3^rd, coming from off the pace. With the same kind of progress here, he is a chance. (10) BEST RAZI has had an interrupted start to her career making three starts up to March this year with the best being her latest when 3^rd. She hasn’t raced since but she looked well enough in an August trial and couldn’t hope for a sifter race to return in. (4) RAON SNIPER briefly showed on pace on debut on August 3^rd before dropping to 6^th. She should have come on for that run and be in things longer here. (6) JINJUUI SIMJANG and (5) ROAD TO STAR are perhaps the best of a limited rest.

Selections	(8) Mujeok Hamdae (10) Best Razi (4) Raon Sniper (6) Jinjuui Simjang
Next Best	5, 11
Fast Start	4, 7, 10, 11

Seoul Race 3: Class 5 (1700M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(11) HEEMANGBAND remains a maiden after twelve attempts, but she has nine top five finishes including a last start 2^nd at this class and distance on August 3^rd. She has placed in all four of her tries at 1700M, the wide draw shouldn’t matter as she has a strong finish on her and today can be her day. She will need to overturn the form on (1) BLACK SIDAE, who won that August 3^rd race, breaking his own maiden at start fifteen. He comes up 3.5kg in weight but draws well to get to the lead and a repeat is possible. (2) BEOLGYOWISU beat a couple of these on her way to 3^rd place in another class and distance race on August 3^rd and she can be there or thereabouts again. (10) GANGCHEOL DRAGON and (9) SEUNGNI BAROWS are others in the hunt.

Selections	(11) Heemangband (1) Black Sidae (2) Beolgyowisu (10) Gangcheol Dragon
Next Best	9, 4
Fast Start	1, 2, 5, 9

Busan Race 1: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 45 Million

Juvenile maidens with three of the nine racing for the first time. Like most, we’ll side with the only one to have raced twice already, (7) OASIS GIJEOK. After running 7^th on debut, he was an improved 3^rd at start two over this distance on August 10^th, racing handy and beating a couple of today’s rivals. Third up he can be peaking, and he is the one to beat. After a couple of decent trials, (5) DREAM RACER was a fair 5^th over 1000M on debut three weeks ago. He should have come on for that run and can go closer here. (8) BREEDO SOL was 6^th on debut behind Oasis Gijeok and can have derived benefit for the run. With the first timers not looking inspiring in their trials, (3) VORTEX and (4) SHINING ONE are perhaps more likely to have improved from their respective debuts.

Selections	(7) Oasis Gijeok (5) Dream Racer (8) Breedo Sol (3) Vortex
Next Best	4, 1
Fast Start	1, 6, 7, 8

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

Fillies only here. (10) SAMJEONG LADY has won two of her last three, most recently at this class over 1200M on July 13^th when leading all the way. She comes up 3kg in weight and she has the challenge of the widest gate, but she can win again. (3) BISANG BELL got her maiden win over this distance two starts back and then ran 2^nd on her first try at this class over 1400M on July 26^th, coming from off the pace. She only comes up 1kg in weight and she looks very nicely in here. (7) GLOBAL GISANG is up in class having got her maiden win at start number two over this distance on August 13^th. She is down in weight, CC stays on, and she can measure up. (4) SPECIAL FORCE and (8) RAON SILENCE among other place chances.

Selections	(10) Samjeong Lady (3) Bisang Bell (7) Global Gisang (4) Special Force
Next Best	8, 2
Fast Start	1, 4, 8, 10

Busan Race 2: Class 6 (1300M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

Fillies only in this maiden. (1) I AM HAPPY was 3^rd on debut over 1200M on August 15th having raced on pace throughout. She should have come on for that run, she draws very well to be on pace again and those who back her here, should be happy after the race. Perhaps not with the dividend though, because she will be a short price favourite so if we are looking to get her beat, (9) DOCTOR CARA might be the one. She does mic her form but going on her 2^nd place two starts back she can be in this, and Munro climbs on for the first time. (6) ANN BUNNY races for the first time since last December before which she had a best of 3^rd on debut. She ran 2^nd in a quick trial at the beginning of August, and if she brings that form to the races, she can be in the mix. (10) SEONGSIL WORLD and (8) GREAT STAR other place chances.

Selections	(1) I Am Happy (9) Doctor Cara (6) Ann Bunny (10) Seongsil World
Next Best	8, 5
Fast Start	1, 3, 8, 11

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

Fillies (and one mare) only here. (3) I AM GO has underwhelmed in her latest couple, but she has placed at this class and won at this distance. She draws well, and Kozzi returning to the ride gives her as much chance as any. (2) POETIC NUBI is yet to win in seventeen attempts but enters in the most consistent form among these with a 2^nd and a 4^th from her latest two. She carries a light weight and while she may find one too quick again, she should be in the finish. (10) CRAZY MARI is another maiden, but she comes up in class here after three placings in her latest three. She is down a full 4kg in weight and that should bring her into the reckoning. (4) JERAQUEEN and (8) MENI SHARK others in the placing frame.

Selections	(3) I Am Go (2) Poetic Nubi (10) Crazy Mari (4) Jeraqueen
Next Best	8, 1
Fast Start	1, 3, 5, 10
