There are 10 races at Seoul on Saturday between 13:15 and 20:00. Here are the previews:

Seoul Race 1: Class 6 (1000M) Special Weight A / KRW 45 Million

Juvenile maidens with all but one racing for the first time. (3) EUNPA BOOSTER took two goes to qualify but looked very accomplished in the second of them, running 3^rd in a quick time and beating some experienced racehorses. If he brings that form to the races, he will be hard to beat. (1) BEST A ONE also took trials and similarly improved in the second of them, showing handy throughout and finishing 4^th of eleven in a fair time. From the inside gate she can be on pace and can go well. (9) START UP was a long way behind Vincero Cavallo in his second trial but he was up with the rest of the field and having shown progress from his first effort, can continue to get better here. (4) ANYANG DREAM and (11) CHEONGSAN DOLPUNG also hinted at ability in their heats.

Selections	(3) Eunpa Booster (1) Best A One (9) Start Up (4) Anyang Dream
Next Best	11, 10
Fast Start	1, 3, 9, 10

Seoul Race 2: Class 4 (1000M) Special Weight A / KRW 75 Million

Imported maidens with nine of the ten racing for the first time. (4) GEUDAEMANIDDAMYEON is not destined to be a racecaller’s favourite but he will be the betting favourite. That’s off a trial win in a double-quick time on September 11^th when he led all the way around. He won’t need to improve much – if at all – on that to win first up here. The only one with racing experience is (1) WASSOIDA. He faded badly at start two, but he previously ran well for 3^rd on debut. With Maia on, he is worth another chance. (3) PASA SPURT went through two trials, improving to 2^nd in a good time in the second of them and he can be running on here. (6) ROOFTOP won his trial and along with (10) HWASAN POKPAL is another who can go well.

Selections	(4) Geudaemaniddamyeon (1) Wassoida (3) Pasa Spurt (6) Rooftop
Next Best	10, 8
Fast Start	4, 6, 8, 10

Seoul Race 3: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

Fillies only in this maiden. After running 7^th on debut, (5) MUNHAK DAESE was an improved 3^rd at start number two over this distance on August 30^th when racing handy throughout and beating a couple of today’s rivals. Third up she can be peaking and can win. (2) EUNHA KALAS was 6^th in that race, running fairly enough on what was her debut. She should have come in for the run and can improve here. The rest of the exposed form is not great so debut-maker (4) RAON THE PLUMA can come into the equation. She led for much of her trial, ultimately crossing the line 2^nd (behind Rooftop who was set to debut in race 2) and in a good time. She can lead here and can be a danger. (7) MINKY PINKY has been back to trial since a forgettable debut and can improve. (3) ILGEUP BISUL, behind Munhak Daese and Eunha Kalas on August 30^th, can also get better.

Selections	(5) Munhak Daese (2) Eunha Kalas (4) Raon The Pluma (7) Minky Pinky
Next Best	3, 8
Fast Start	2, 4, 7, 11

Seoul Race 4: Class 6 (1700M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(1) NAMSAN MINYEO has a 2^nd and a 3^rd from her latest two, both at 1300M and both from wide gates. She has finished off her races very well so the step up to 1700M can be in her favour, and she can win. (2) GANGCHEOL POWER remains a maiden after nineteen attempts but comes in here with recent form reading well with a 2^nd and a 4^th from her latest two, coming from off the pace both times. Expect him to be ridden patiently here and while he may once more find one too quick, he can be in the finish. (3) ALPHA FEMALE led for much of the way around at this distance on August 30^th before finishing 3^rd, beating a couple of today’s rivals. She can lead again and be in this a long way. (8) BLUE DRAGON and (5) BLACK SMILE are place chances.

Selections	(1) Namsan Minyeo (2) Gangcheol Power (3) Alpha Female (8) Blue Dragon
Next Best	5, 9
Fast Start	1, 3, 9, 11

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

(3) CHOEGANG SPEED came from well off the pace to run 3^rd in a quick race at this class and distance on August 31^st. He only comes up half a kilo in weight and in this company, he is the one to beat. (2) HAKSAN PRINCE is yet to win in twelve attempts but has had several near misses including last time out over 1400M on September 6^th when he got a long way back before running on. He is up 2.5kg in weight but draws well and can be in the finish. (5) GLOBAL HAMSEONG was 4^th behind Cheogang Speed in that August 31^st race, settling midfield and running on. He was sent off as favourite that day after back-to-back 2^nd places leading up to it, and it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if he overturned the form.  (1) JURING SKY and (6) SHINE BOLT others in the hunt.
