Saturday’s racing is at Seoul with 11 races from 10:35 to 17:55. Here are the previews:

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

(8) CHEONJI TANK has a 4^th and two 3^rd place finishes from three starts so far at 1200M and most recently at this distance on January 25^th when handy throughout. Expect similar tactics today, and coming in fresh after nine weeks, he looks to be the one to beat. (9) NINJA TIGER was an improved 3^rd at start two in an all-filly race over 1200M on February 8^th. Third-up she can strip fitter and Johan is on for the first time. (6) ROAD TO PERFECT has run 4^th in all three of her outings so far and she should be there or thereabouts again. (5) HANAM LASER and (10) YEOKJEONUI HIT are the other main contenders in what should be a competitive opener.

Selections	(8) Cheonji Tank (9) Ninja Tiger (6) Road To Perfect (5) Hanam Laser
Next Best	10, 11
Fast Start	5, 7, 8, 9

Seoul Race 2: Class 4 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 75 Million

After winning a trial in January, (12) SOUTH CARNIVAL was sent off as favourite over this distance on February 14^th and from a midfield position, he proceeded to finish off well for 3^rd place, beating a few of today’s rivals in the process. He should have learned plenty from that and while he has the challenge of the widest gate, he won’t need to improve much to win this. (6) WHIZ STAR was 6^th on debut and then an improved 3^rd at start number two over this distance on February 28^th. The only one in the race who has two starts under her belt, she can have a fitness edge on plenty and should be on pace in a race with little obvious early speed. (10) SUN DOLPUNG was last on debut but has since looked much better in a trial and gets another chance. With the first-timers not catching the eye, (9) JEONGWANGSEOKHWA and (7) SMART SHINHWA are the next bests.

Selections	(12) South Carnival (6) Whiz Star (10) Sun Dolpung (9) Jeongwangseokhwa
Next Best	7, 2
Fast Start	6, 7, 10, 11

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

(10) SUNGANUI FIGHTER has made steady progress across four starts so far, culminating in a 2^nd place on his first try at this distance on March 2^nd when he led for much of the way. He doe shave to contend with a worse draw this time so he may need a touch of luck at the start, but if he can get to the front, he can win. Betting favourite will be (7) BREEDO CALEY. He has mixed his form across his four appearances but his latest was a strong 2^nd over 1300M on February 28^th, coming from off the pace and beating a couple of today’s rivals. A similar effort will see him in the finish again. (11) MADE returned from six months out to run 3^rd over this distance on February 15^th form a similarly wide draw. He should strip fitter for the run, and an apprentice takes his weight down. (4) SEMYEONG PEAK and (5) CHEONGRYONG GIUN others in the placing frame.

Selections	(10) Sunganui Fighter (7) Breedo Caley (11) Made (4) Semyeong Peak
Next Best	6, 1
Fast Start	4, 5, 7, 11

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

(5) GEUMJEOKSAN got her maiden win at start number two over 1200M in November and has since run 3^rd and 5^th in two subsequent starts, showing on pace both times. The 3^rd place came over this distance and from a good draw, she can be on pace again and this time she can go all the way. (6) AGAIN GOOD MAN stepped up to this distance on March 2^nd and registered his maiden win having raced handy throughout. He is up in class here but is down 2kg in weight and he can measure up. (1) FINAL JILJU went through a bit of a cold patch but has picked up in her latest couple of outings with a 2^nd and a 4^th and she can be there or thereabouts again. Up in class (11) JAZZ PURPLE, along with (9) GRAND KWAEMA, are others who can be in the frame.

Selections	(5) Geumjeoksan (6) Again Good Man (1) Final Jilju (11) Jazz Purple
Next Best	9, 2
Fast Start	4, 5, 8, 11

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

(3) CHOEGO GOLD enters off a close 2^nd place at this class and distance on March 2^nd when on pace throughout. He is up 2kg in weight, but he comes into a much better gate and can accordingly get an easier run to the lead and go all the way. Like Choego Gold, (4) REFLECT has never been outside of the top five, in his case in six appearances. He has been 3^rd and 4^th in his latest two, beating a couple of today’s rivals in the process and in this company can race on pace and be a danger. (5) WIDAEHAN HAMSEONG is yet to win in seven attempts but following his first two runs, he hasn’t been outside of the top four. He is another who should be on the pace and can at least place again. (7) JURING SKY and (9) YONGBI SHINHWA among other placing chances.

Selections	(3) Choego Gold (4) Reflect (5) Widaehan Hamseong (7) Juring Sky
Next Best	9, 2
Fast Start	3, 5, 9, 11
