September racing concludes with 11 Sunday races at Seoul from 10:35 to 18:00 and 6 at Busan from 12:05 to 16:30. The feature is the Listed Ilgan Sports Trophy in the capital. Here are the previews:

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

Juvenile maidens although all but two have raced before. (12) EVERY TIME debuted on August 30^th and from a wide draw settled handy and ran on to run 2^nd at this distance, beating three of today’s rivals in the process. He draws even wider this time but the step up in trip can suit and he is the one to beat. (11) SEVEN KAISER led that August 30^th race before ultimately finishing in 3^rd place. He too should have come on for that run and while he may be more disadvantaged by the draw, he can be a danger. (10) KING MASTER has raced twice already, finishing 3^rd both times at this distance. Moon Se-young stays on and with his experience and potential fitness edge, he can go close. (2) MASTER PLAN and (6) GEOSEN DOLGYEOK are others who may improve from their respective debuts.

Selections	(12) Every Time (11) Seven Kaiser (10) King Master (2) Master Plan
Next Best	6, 3
Fast Start	2, 3, 11, 12

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

(4) STORM TROOPER has shown plenty of promise across his three starts so far, most recently beating a couple of today’s rivals when 3^rd over 1300M on August 31^st, leading for much of the wat. Maia has ridden him all three times and from a great draw they can lead again, and this time go all the way. (3) ECLIPSE TANGO enters off back-to-back 3^rd places over this distance. He is another who likes to get forward early and he can be in this a long way. (7) AWESOME STEP was an improved 2^nd over 1300M on August 17^th, coming from way off the pace. The slight step up in trip can suit, and she can be a danger late on. (10) HWANGGEUM MASK and (6) SAENAE FIGHTER others in the frame.

Selections	(4) Storm Trooper (3) Eclipse Tango (7) Awesome Step (10) Hwanggeum Mask
Next Best	6, 5
Fast Start	1, 4, 7, 11

Seoul Race 3: Class 4 (1400M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million

(8) FUNNY TAP has a 3^rd and a 2^nd in two starts since being promoted to this level following a June win. They were both at this distance and both times from her favoured on pace position. She can lead here and can go one better. (11) KING WARRIOR comes up in class having scored over 1300M on August 17^th when leading all the way around. He has the challenge of the widest gate, but he comes down 3kg in weight and he can measure up. (2) ORANGE TIME is a two-time winner at this distance and enters off a smart 2^nd at this class on August 2^nd. He likes to come from off the pace and can be a late danger. (7) CANVASEN GO and (10) GIANT BOSS others to consider on at least a place line.

Selections	(8) Funny Tap (11) King Warrior (2) Orange Time (7) Canvasen Go
Next Best	10, 9
Fast Start	4, 6, 8, 11

Busan Race 1: Class 6 (1400M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(10) JUST SHINY has mixed his form over five outings to date but has a 2^nd and most recently a 3^rd place to his name, scored at 1300M on August 17^th when handy throughout. The draw shouldn’t be much of a concern, Seo Seung-un stays on, and he can win here. (5) JIJONSANBANG was 2^nd on debut in June (albeit fifteen lengths behind the winner) and last time out beat a couple of these when 5^th on August 31^st. He tends to do his best work late and the step up in trip can suit. In a race with little in the way of early speed (3) CARAT KING, who was 4^th last time out, can lead and be in this a long way. (7) SMOOTH KICK and (4) FINAL HIT others in the hunt.

Selections	(10) Just Shiny (5) Jijonsanbang (3) Carat King (7) Smooth Kick
Next Best	4, 6
Fast Start	1, 3, 8 , 10

Seoul Race 4: Class 5 (1800M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

Wide open. (2) SMILE NAMSAN has raced just twice but finds herself up in class and massively up in distance after back-to-back runner-up finishes over 1200M. She comes down in the weights, draws well, and she could be shrewdly entered here. (4) X FACTOR hot his maiden win at 1400M on August 24^th racing handy throughout. He is up in class and in distance but is down in weight and he can measure up. (6) GROW enters off a 3^rd place at this class and distance on September 13^th when coming from off the pace. She has pretty much the same weight today and she can be in the finish again. (3) BS STORM and (9) SHARKTEN are others who can be in the mix.

Selections	(2) Smile Namsan (4) X Factor (6) Grow (3) BS Storm
Next Best	9, 5
Fast Start	1, 2, 3, 10

Busan Race 2: Class 5 (1400M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(5) TRIPLE DREAM was a winner at this class in filly only company at 1200M two starts back before running a close 4^th on August 29^th when handy to the speed throughout. She comes up to 1400M for the first time and it could well suit. (7) YONGAM BLACK beat a couple of these on his way to a front-running 2^nd at 1300M on August 9^th. He was well beaten by a good winner but should be on pace again here and has every chance of going one better. (2) DOCTOR SOLAR got his maiden win over this distance on September 5^th taking things up halfway home and running on. He is up in class but down 3.5kg in weight and he can be competitive again. (6) DAEGIL HERO and (11) ROAD TO HEUIMANG, the latter requiring a line through his latest, are others to keep in mind.

Selections	(5) Triple Dream (7) Yongam Black (2) Doctor Solar (6) Daegil Hero
Next Best	11, 10
Fast Start	1, 5, 10, 11

Seoul Race 5: Class 5 (1200M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(7) DRAGON KILLER has been no worse than 3^rd in five starts to date and come sin following his maiden win at this distance at the end of June. That came at this class and while he is up in weight and fresh after thirteen weeks out, he can win again. (5) BEST PITCH was a winner on debut in a juvenile maiden over 1000M on August 30^th, settling handy and running on. He is up in class and in trip and faces his seniors here, but he should have come on for the run, is down in weight, and can be a danger. (1) SAENAE CLASSIC has run 4^th in two starts back since a nine-month layoff. Third-up he can be peaking fitness wise and can go close. (9) LALA GIRL and (11) GEUMSEONG YEOJE among other chances.
