Sunday’s racing is at Seoul, with 10 races from 10:35 to 17:55, and at Busan with 7 races from 11.25 to 16:55. Here are the previews:

Seoul Race 1: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(6) TIGER BULPAE has a 3^rd and a 2^nd from two starts so far, most recently when racing handy over 1200M on December 7^th. In this field she’ll be on pace and she will be favoured to go one better today. The solitary debut-maker (10) SUNGLASS may prove to be the biggest danger. It took her three trials to qualify but she ultimately did it in fine style, leading all the way in an early December heat. She has the challenge of a wide draw, but if she brings that form to the races, she has a real chance. (11) BINNALEEDS was a trial winner before running fairly for a midfield finish on debut and she can improve here. (3) GEOSEN MUJEOK and (5) GOLDEN WARRIOR are others who can get better.

Selections	(6) Tiger Bulpae (10) Sunglass (11) Binnaleeds (3) Geosen Mujeok
Next Best	5, 4
Fast Start	6, 8, 9, 10

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

(8) UNJU PRINCE was an underwhelming 8^th on debut but was much improved when 2^nd at start number two at 1300M on November 30^th. The slight step up in trip again can suit and he won’t need to improve much to win this. (4) BEST FREEDOM was well beaten by Unju Prince at the end of November but has since run again for a decent midfield finish. He draws well to lead and can be in this a long way. (1) KIA ORA returned form five months out and was a significantly improved 3^rd over this distance on November 9^th. She can have come on for that run and be in the finish again. (7) DALBIT SONATA and (6) WONDERFUL DARSHAAN are other place chances.  

Selections	(8) Unju Prince (4) Best Freedom (1) Kia Ora (7) Dalbit Sonata
Next Best	6, 5
Fast Start	1, 2, 4, 7

Busan Race 1: Class 6 (1300M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(2) BORYEONG ULTRA MAN was 3^rd on debut over 1000M at the end of October before beating plenty of today’s rivals on his way to 2^nd place at 1200M on December 7^th when handy all the way. He comes into a great gate, Tanaka stays on, and he should win. (3) SOMETHING ELSE debuted in 4^th place all the way back in June. He didn’t reappear until December 5^th, but it was a solid return in 3^rd place over 1300M, albeit a long way behind a good winner. He can strip fitter here and be close. (1) DOCTOR CHAMP could only manage 6^th behind Boryeong Ultra Man last time out but draws much better here and if he can get to the lead, he has a chance. (10) DIA X and first time starter (4) CHOEGANG CHEETAH are others who can be in the mix.

Selections	(2) Boryeong Ultra Man (3) Something Else (1) Doctor Champ (10) Dia X

Fast Start	1, 2, 6, 8

Seoul Race 3: Class 5 (1400M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

After winning on debut In August, (2) JD GANGJA ran 4^th and 5^th in Listed Juvenile races before finishing well back in the G2 Breeders’ Cup Rookie. He returns to shallower waters today and with an apprentice claiming 4kg, he can return to winning ways. (9) G FLEX was an all the way winner over 1200M on debut on November 29^th. He is up in class and in distance but is down in weight and he can measure up. (11) SAINT WINNER and (4) HAKSAN PRINCE are both long time maidens but enter in consistent form and can aim to repeat their 2^nd and 3^rd places when they raced one another at 1300M on December 7^th. (7) MASTER KWAIGON another in the hunt.  

Selections	(2) JD Gangja (9) G Flex (11) Saint Winner (4) Haksan Prince
Next Best	7, 10
Fast Start	2, 6, 9, 10

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

This looks a bit more open. (6) VICTORY STORY is yet to score in ten but has six top four finishes. His best was 2^nd three outings back at the star or November but Seo Seung-un climbing up for the first time catches the eye and is enough to put him on top. (3) CAPTAIN WARRIOR has raced twice for 6^th and 4^th at 1000M and 1200M. He has been doing his best work late so the step up in trip can suit and he can be a danger. (8) LIKE DRAGON enters off three consecutive 4^th places (and a trial in which he finished, of course, 4^th). He gets a 2kg apprentice claim and can be on pace here with chances of going better than 4^th. (1) DELEKOOMDA and (12) DOCTOR CARA are others in the frame.

Selections	(6) Victory Story (3) Captain Warrior (8) Like Dragon (1) Delekoomda
Next Best	12, 9
Fast Start	3, 6, 8, 10

Seoul Race 4: Class 5 (1300M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

It’s fair to say that (1) MUSKET CLEAVER has mixed his form across four starts so far but he was a very good winner at 1200M in September and then a close 2^nd at this class and distance on November 15^th.  In this company he can be on pace and a similar effort to last time can see him win. (9) GEUMA FOREMOST is yet to win but has placed on six occasions, including his latest at this class and distance on December 6^th when coming from well off the pace. This is the kind of race he can place in again. (4) MIGHTY SHINE enters off her first win at start four in a filly over this distance on November 30^th. She is up in class but down in weight and she can be competitive.  (11) RAIN STAR and (10) HAEMAJI other place chances.

Selections	(1) Musket Cleaver (9) Geuma Foremost (4) Mighty Shine (11) Rain Star
Next Best	10, 3
Fast Start	1, 2, 4, 5

Busan Race 3: Class 5 (1400M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(9) CRYSTAL MULGYEOL got her maiden win two starts back before running 5^th from the widest gate on her first try at this class on December 5^th, settling back and running on. The step up to 1400M for the first time can suit, Seo Seung-un, get son, and she can win. (8) BREEDO KELLY is yet to win but returned from five months out to run 5^th and then 2^nd, the latter on December 7^th over 1300M when she came from well off the pace to beat a couple of today’s rivals. Like Crystal Mulgyeol, the increase in trip can suit, and she can be a big danger. (12) WORLD BLUE PIN CAT was 4^th in that December 7^th race behind Breedo Kelly. She has won at this distance and can be in the mix. (10) BEOLGYOUI HIM and (4) BLUEORCHID others in the frame.

Selections	(9) Crystal Mulgyeol (8) Breedo Kelly (12) World Blue Pin Cat (10) Beolgyoui Him
