Sunday’s racing is at Seoul (11 races from 10:35 to 18:00) and Busan (6 races from 12:05 to 16:30). Here are the previews:

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

Juvenile maidens in the opener. (1) GRACE DAY was a solid 3^rd on debut over this distance on November 9^th when settling handy and running on well. Like the others here racing for the second time, he should have come on for that run and from the inside gate he can be on pace and go all the way. (5) TIGER BULPAE was also 3^rd on debut, in her case over 1000M on November 1^st. It wasn’t a quick race, but she showed enough to suggest that she has ability and can follow up here. (10) NIGHT GANGJA was 5^th behind Tiger Bulpae in that race and get closer. (11) PARAIBA and (3) VINCENT ALEX can improve.

Selections	(1) Grace Day (5) Tiger Bulpae (10) Night Gangja (11) Paraiba

Fast Start	1, 4, 5, 7

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

(10) GOLDEN SAVE has made progress across three starts so far, culminating in 3^rd place over 1300M on November 8^th when handy throughout. Despite the wide draw, he can be on pace here and can win. There are three first-timers, and helpfully for us, they all came through the same trial on October 23^rd. The best of them was (7) RAON THE TONY, who showed prominently and crossed the line a close 3^rd in a fair time – and well clear of the other two debut-makers here. Bringing that form to the races will be enough to go close in this limited company. (5) WONDERFUL DARSHAAN was an improved 4^th at start two over this distance on November 1^st and while the time wasn’t quick, that’s enough to be in contention here. (2) BEST CHEONHA and the debuting (9) THE SUN AMIR others who may be in the place market.

Selections	(10) Golden Save (7) Raon The Tony (5) Wonderful Darshaan (2) Best Cheonha
Next Best	9, 4
Fast Start	2, 3, 7, 10

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

(2) GLORY JOY has been getting closer across seven starts so far, culminating in 2^nd place at 1400M on November 16^th when close to the speed throughout. He steps up to two turns for the first time and having drawn well to lead, can go all the way. (3) SUBMISSION is the big danger. He came from a wide gate and well back to run 3^rd over 1400M on November 1^st and should be similarly suited by the step up in trip. (6) BLACK SMILE and (1) BLUE DRAGON came home 2^nd and 3^rd respectively when they raced each other at this class and distance on November 11^th and both can be in the frame here. (7) O P S TAP another who can challenge for the minors.

Selections	(2) Glory Joy (3) Submission (6) Black Smile (1) Blue Dragon

Fast Start	2, 3, 5, 10

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

Small field of juveniles for the south coast opener and (5) HEY BRO will be a warm favourite. After a positive trial, he was a good 2^nd on debut over 1000M on October 31^st, settling handy and finishing off well. He should have come on for that run, and the additional furlong can suit. (7) BORYEONG ULTRA MAN debuted in the same race and was also close to the speed, ultimately finishing 3^rd, just half a length behind Hey Bro. He too can have come on and is the main danger. (4) SEOGWI FOREST and (8) DOCTOR CHAMP did nothing in their respective debuts but have both trialed well (the latter since that first start) and can improve. There are three first time starters and of them, (3) UNJU NURI was the best in trials.

Selections	(5) Hey Bro (7) Boryeong Ultra Man (4) Seogwi Forest (8) Doctor Champ
Next Best	3, 6
Fast Start	3, 5, 7, 8

Seoul Race 4: Class 5 (1700M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(7) GHOST CHRYSOL is yet to win in nine attempts but has four 2^nd places including on his latest start at this class over 18000M on November 8^th when settling midfield and running on. Expect similar tactics here and he can come out on top. (8) SEUNGNI BAROWS got his sole win to date at this distance and enters off a 3^rd place at class and distance on November 15^th when coming from off the pace. He has the fastest time among any of these for the 1700M and is a big danger. (11) SAVANA CHARLIE beat Seungni Barows when 2^nd in that November 15^th race, matching his best ever finish at what was start twenty-right. He may not be a winning chance, but his recent form has been solid, and he can place again. (3) BULGEUNTAEYANG and (10) SHARKTEN others who can trouble the judges.

Selections	(7) Ghost Chrysol (8) Seungni Barows (11) Savana Charlie (3) Bulgeuntaeyang
Next Best	10, 6
Fast Start	1, 5, 6, 9

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

(6) WHITE FLARE has two 3^rd place finishes and a 5^th from three outings so far, most recently at this distance on November 2^nd when on pace throughout for the first time. He will surely be ridden to be on pace again and he won’t need to improve much to see off this modest set of opponents. (2) WE STRONG was an improved 4^th at start number four on November 16^th and from a good draw can maintain his positive momentum. (4) SOMANGUIGIL finished outside of the top four for the first time on November 21^st over a mile and may be better for coming back in trip here. (10) DELEKOOMDA and (9) DIA X are the other placing chances.

Selections	(6) White Flare (2) We Strong (4) Somanguigil (10) Delekoomda
Next Best	9, 8
Fast Start	3, 6, 7, 8
