Saturday’s racing is at Seoul with 11 races 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 but two racing for the first time. (1) FOREVER HIT took two goes to qualify but did so well at the second time of asking, running 3^rd behind two experienced horses having shown handy throughout. He should be nice and fit for this and can win. (12) GENERAL WIND won his trial in late September showing on pace. He has the challenge of the widest gate but if he brings that form to the races, he will be in the finish. (11) WALLSTREET was on pace too in her heat, crossing the line in 4^th in a decent time and she too can put in a bold showing first up. (5) FANTASTIC BRO and (7) SONGDANG SKY trialed up behind Forever Hit and hinted at ability.

Selections	(1) Forever Hit (12) General Wind (11) Wallstreet (5) Fantastic Bro
Next Best	7, 6
Fast Start	1, 6, 8, 12

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

Imported juvenile (and one southern hemisphere three-year-old) maidens with seven of the eleven racing for the first time. (3) GEUMA SPLASHY won a trial and then led for most of the way on debut over 1200M on October 3^rd, before being passed by Roshe. Drawn well to lead again, the cut back in trip should be in his favour and he will be a strong favourite. (7) MIGHTY CODE took three trials to get to the races but debuted well in 2^nd at 1200M coming from well off the pace on August 30^th.  He should have come on for it and will be finishing strongly. Of the first timers (1) GAMSAUI HIM won his trial in a decent time and that’s enough to put him in the numbers here. (6) ONE DIA significantly improved in a second trial can also be considered first up. Returning to the experience, (11) SOUTHERN BEACH was a fair 4^th on debut and can build on that today.

Selections	(3) Geuma Splashy (7) Mighty Code (1) Gamsaui Him (6) One Dia
Next Best	11, 8
Fast Start	1, 2, 3, 11

Seoul Race 3: Class 6 (1400M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(9) POWERFUL SLEW finished midfield over 1000M on debut in September but was an improved 3^rd at start two when stepped up to this trip on October 4^th, coming from well off the pace. Third up he can peaking fitness wise and he looks the one to beat. (6) DDATTEUTHAN WIRO has made steady progress across three starts so far with his latest his best when a close 2^nd over 1300M, running on. CC climbs up for the first time, the step up in trip can suit, and he can be a danger. (4) CHRYSOL DONGHAE was 2^nd on debut all the way back in January but came out of the race lame and didn’t race again until July by which time he was gelded. It was a good return, finishing 3^rd at 1200M and while he had further setbacks afterwards, he came back into work in the second week of this month, and he is already a proven performer first-up. (5) PARADISO and (1) SEVEN KAISER are the other placing chances.

Selections	(9) Powerful Slew (6) Ddatteuthan Wiro (4) Chrysol  Donghae (5) Paradiso
Next Best	1, 10
Fast Start	1, 4, 6, 7

Seoul Race 4: Class 5 (1400M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

Fillies only and we’ll take a chance on (11) CLUB Q. After a 3^rd and a 2^nd, she got her maiden win at start three over this distance at the end of June, coming from off the pace from a similarly wide gate. She is up in class and after seventeen weeks out match fitness must be taken on trust, but she looks worth a go at an each-way price. (2) I AM GO went a bit cold for a couple of races but came back into some form with a 3^rd place at this class over 1300M when on pace. She can aim to lead here and be in this a long way. (10) WONDERFUL ALONG mixes her form but on her 2^nd place at class and distance two outings back, she has to be given a chance in this company. (4) GIDAEHARA and (6) GOOD FRIEND others in the hunt.

Selections	(11) Club Q (2) I Am Go (10) Wonderful Along (4) Gidaehara
