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 with three of the nine racing for the first time and we’ll take a chance on one of them. (2) MAEUM HANA won his trial in good order, showing close to the pace throughout. He draws well to lead here and if he brings that form to the races, he can win. (1) AESUNI didn’t do much on debut but was an improved 3^rd at start two over this distance on November 8^th. Third-up she can have an edge fitness wise and is a big danger. (3) GLOBAL LAND ran a fair 5^th on debut over this distance on November 9^th after a slow start from a wide gate. With the benefit of experience and a better draw, she can be closer. (6) PANGPANG DAERO and newcomer (5) POSITANO, the latter trialing behind Maeum Hana, others who may be supported.

Selections	(2) Maueum Hana (1) Aesuni (3) Global Land (6) Pangpang Daero
Next Best	5, 7
Fast Start	1, 2, 6, 7

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

(10) MUJEOK HAMDAE enters off a 3^rd and a 4^th from his latest two at 1200M and 1300M. both times coming from off the pace. The wide draw won’t be a problem, and he should prove too strong late on here. (2) EUNHA KALAS was an improved 5^th of eleven over this distance in a filly maiden on November 15^th, settling behind the speed and running on. Maia stays on and she can get closer this time. (3) THUNDER RUN led last time out before weakening to finishing midfield. From a good draw he can get a soft run to the lead again and is the one the rest will have to run down. (9) NAEGEROWAJWO and (7) DUSON LIFE other place chances.

Selections	(10) Mujeok Hamdae (2) Eunha Kalas (3) Thunder Run (9) Naegerowajwo
Next Best	7, 5
Fast Start	2, 3, 8, 9

Seoul Race 3: Class 6 (1300M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(4) YONGBI SHINHWA was an also-ran in Listed Juvenile company at start number three but returned to much shallower waters to go down a very narrow 2^nd over this distance on November 8^th, having led. He remains in those shallows today and really should go one better. (7) MASTER KWAIGON raced twice this spring, managing a 2^nd place. He hasn’t been out since March, but he won a trial in decent order at the end of November, and this is a nice race to return in. (8) BLACK PEPE has shown progress across three starts so far, culminating in 3^rd over 1200M on November 9^th and he can match or better that here. (11) AMOS CHOEGANG and (9) HWANGGEUM MASK are others in line for the minors.

Selections	(4) Yongbi Shinhwa (7) Master Kwaigon (8) Black Pepe (11) Amos Choegang
Next Best	9, 1
Fast Start	3, 4, 8, 11

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

Fillies only in this maiden. After an inauspicious debut in September, (1) YURIM ACE has registered back-to-back 3^rd places in very similar races to this over 1200M. Seo Seung-un stays on, she will be on pace, and she can break through here. (2) STAY COOL weakened late having led over a mile on November 21^st. She comes back to a distance at which she has placed and from the front, she will be the danger. (7) ROYAL CRYSTAL was an improved 3^rd at start number three on what was her first try at this distance on November 9^th. Franco climbs up for the first time, and she can build on that here. (6) DOROTHY QUEEN and (5) LOILOI are outside place chances.

Selections	(1) Yurim Ace (2) Stay Cool (7) Royal Crystal (6) Dorothy Queen
Next Best	5, 3
Fast Start	1, 2, 4, 7

Seoul Race 4: Class 4 (1800M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million

(6) CHARMING QUEEN has finished in the top two on all her six starts so far and was a winner at this class and distance on November 16^th when handy throughout. She only comes up 1kg in weight here and she is favoured to continue on her merry way here. (3) SUMMER PARTY returned from four months off on November 2^nd and handled a difficult assignment well when 2^nd at this class and distance. She should strip fitter for that run and can be in the mix here. (2) CAMP DAVID was 4^th behind Charming Queen in that November 16^th race and can challenge for a place here. (8) BLACK SATANG and (5) MK LEE are others to look out for.

Selections	(6) Charming Queen (3) Summer Party (2) Camp David (8) Black Satang
