No Group or Listed races this Sunday but still plenty to get stuck into with an 11-race card at Seoul from 10:35 to 18:00 and a 6-race program at Busan from 12:05 to 16:30. Here are the previews:

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

Juvenile maidens though all but three have raced before. (10) CHEONGSAN DOLPUNG is the pick and probable favourite having run 2^nd on debut over 1000M on September 27^th, settling midfield from a wide draw and running on to narrowly miss out. The step up in trip can be in his favour and he can go one better. (2) PANGPANG DAERO was a front-running 2^nd at 1000M on his debut back on August 16^th. He draws well to be on pace again and Maia staying on is a plus. (1) DAEHAN SIDAE ran 4^th on debut at 1000M on October 3^rd, coming from a wide gate and beating a couple of today’s rivals. He draws much better today and can be in the mix. (6) YONGBIGYO and (12) EUNPA BOOSTER others who hinted at ability on their respective debuts.

Selections	(10) Cheongsan Dolpung (2) Pangpang Daero (1) Daehan Sidae (6) Yongbigyo
Next Best	12, 7
Fast Start	2, 4, 6, 12

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

Fillies only in this maiden. Since running last on debut (2) TRIPLE JENNY has gone close in each of five subsequent outings, most recently finishing 2^nd over 1400M on October 3^rd when on pace throughout. Drawn well here she can lead and today should be her day. (5) HAEMAJI may be figuring things out with a 2^nd place on her latest at this distance on August 31^st. On that form she is the danger. (6) OUTSTANDING GIRL hasn’t shown much in the way of speed across three outings to date, but she does come in off a 4^th place at 1200M on October 4^th and in this company, she can aim to match or better. (3) DAEHAN COCO’S and (8) JINJUUI SIMJANG are others in the minor money hunt.

Selections	(2) Triple Jenny (5) Haemaji (6) Outstanding Girl (3) Daehan Coco’s
Next Best	8, 7
Fast Start	2, 3, 7, 9

Seoul Race 3: Class 6 (1700M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(8) WILD MAGIC was 3^rd on debut in a filly only maiden over 1200M on October 4^th when settling midfield and running on strongly, although well behind the winner. She takes a big step up in trip here but she should have come on for the run and may even be available at an each-way price. (3) ECLIPSE TANGO has been a beaten favourite a couple of times now and will need a line drawn through his latest at 1400M on September 28^th when slow away. He is usually on pace and is worth another chance in this field. (5) BLUE DRAGON stepped up to this distance on September 27^th and registered his best finish to date with a 3^rd place and he should be there or thereabouts again. (1) WHITE ROMANCE and (4) COMMANDING LEAD are others in the frame.

Selections	(8) Wild Magic (3) Eclipse Tango (5) Blue Dragon (1) White Romance
Next Best	4, 2
Fast Start	1, 2, 10, 11

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

Juvenile maidens with four of the eight making their racecourse debuts. We’ll side with one of those newcomers, (3) POWER TREE. He won his trial, showing on pace throughout and stopping the clock in a good time. He draws nicely to be up top early again and can go all the way. If you prefer experience, (2) ISIMNYEON JIGI is the one. After a good trial, he ran well for 3^rd on debut having been on the speed throughout. He should have come on for that run and will be challenging for the lead right from the start. Expect him to be the market’s choice. The rest of the experience is unconvincing, so we return to the first timers. (7) WORLD FIGHTER MAN was a quick 2^nd in his most recent trial and if he brings that form to the races, he can be a factor. (8) YOUNGYOUNG BRAVO and (6) HUIMANG SPEED also look to have some ability.

Selections	(3) Power Tree (2) Isimnyeon Jigi (7) World Fighter Man (8) Youngyoung Bravo
Next Best	6, 4
Fast Start	2, 3, 7, 8

Seoul Race 4: Class 5 (1200M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(2) SAMJEONG LADY has mixed her form a bit but when she has had trouble it has been at 1300M and when drawn wide. She draws great today and has two wins and a 3^rd in four outings at 1200M. She can add to that win count here. (11) SEONGSIL DAERO has a 3^rd and two 4^th places from her latest three, beating a few of today’s rivals along the way. An apprentice jockey keeps her under a light weight and while she has the challenge of the widest gate, she can be a danger. (10) DONGBANG FORCE returned from nine months out to run 3^rd over 1300M on October 19^th. She should strip fitter for that run and while she is up in class, she is down in weight and can be competitive. (3) HERO CHOICE and (9) MUNHAK BELL others in the frame.

Selections	(2) Samjeong Lady (11) Seongsil Daero (10) Dongbang Force (3) Hero Choice
Next Best	9, 1
Fast Start	3, 4, 5, 10
