The second leg of the Queens’ Tour Spring/Summer headlines Seoul on Sunday with the Ttukseom Cup (1400M KOR-G2). There are 10 races in total at Seoul from 10:35 to 17:55 while at Busan there are 7 races from 11:25 to 16:55. Here are the previews:

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

(7) BEAT FRESH was ordinary on debut but since has a 4^th and two 3^rd places, most recently over this distance on March 8^th when racing handy throughout. She should be on or close to the pace here and shapes as the one to beat. (5) SEMYEONG PEAK has a 3^rd and a 4^th from her latest two at 1300M and 1400M. She has the fastest final furlong average time among the field and can be coming on strong late. (2) COMPLETE FUTURE did precisely nothing in his first three starts but was a significantly improved 3^rd on March 22^nd over this distance. He draws well and can build on that here. (4) LOVING PURPLE and (6) PASA ACE are others in the placing frame.

Selections	(7) Beat Fresh (5) Semyeong Peak (2) Complete Future (4) Loving Purple

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

(10) NAOL AURORA has a 3^rd and a 2^nd from two starts so far, both at 1200M and both times running through the line well. She steps up in trip for the first time but that shouldn’t be a problem, and she should be coming out on top today. (1) P.P. JJANG was a much-improved 2^nd at start number three over 1300M on March 8^th when he didn’t get quite as far back as he did in his first two disappointing efforts. With similar tactics today, he can be in the finish again. (11) GLOBAL LAND was a beaten favourite last time out, but she does have a 3^rd place to her name and CC returning to the ride can be in her favour here. (7) DELTA CHOEGANG and (6) VALKYRIE are others in line for the minors.

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

Three-debut makers here and we’ll side with one of them (2) WILD REAL went through two trials, improving significantly in the second one when on pace throughout and crossing the line a very close 2^nd in a quick time (61.4 seconds – it was a voluntary trial so it won’t be in every racecard but it was on April 2^nd). From a great draw, if he brings that form to the races, he will win. (5) FLEX KHAN ran 4^th on debut all the way back last September. He went lame ahead of a planned start in November but has been back in work since the start of March and looked well in a quick trial on April 2^nd. He can go well first up today. (8) NORTHERN QUEEN has made progress across five starts so far and was a solid 2^nd at this distance on April 10^th. She makes a quick reappearance here and while up 3kg in weight, she should be close again. (10) UNJU DAEBAK and (3) P.D SPECIAL others who can improve.

Selections	(2) Wild Real (5) Flex Khan (8) Northern Queen (10) Unju Daebak

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

Competitive race. (5) URUS SABBIA came from the widest gate to sit just behind the speed and then run on to win over 1300M on debut on March 21^st. He comes up in class and slightly in trip and while he doesn’t get a weight break, he can win again. (7) CHOWOLMA got his maiden win at 1300M in January and while his first go at this class was nothing special, he improved to 2^nd behind Young Fighter on March 22^nd. He tackles the 1400M for the first time and is up 2kg in weight (to the same weight under which he won) but he can be a big danger. (8) MIGHTY CRIS ran 2^nd on his first try at this class over 1700M on March 22^nd. He returns to the distance at which he got his maiden win and while up in weight, he can be competitive. (4) STUNNING SERVE and (10) COWBOY SOCKS others in at least the placing picture.

Selections	(5) Urus Sabbia (7) Chowolma (8) Mighty Cris (4) Stunning Serve

Fast Start	3, 5, 7, 10

Busan Race 2: Class 6 (1600M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

After an inauspicious debut, (2) OASIS HAPPY has registered a 2^nd and a 4^th at 1300M and 1400M, settling just behind the leaders both times and running on. The step up to the mile can suit and from a good draw in a race with no early speed, Seo Seung-un can go to the front and stay there. (8) WIN NOW has a 3^rd and a 4^th from two outings to date, bot over 1400M and both times beating a couple of today’s rivals. Franco climbs on and given the way he finished off those races, the extended trip can be in his favour too. (1) I AM HAPPY returned from five months out to run 3^rd over 1300M on March 27^th. He should have come on for the run and can match or better that today. (6) DOLGYEOK SPECIAL and (7) WORLD TRIPLE CAT others who can be around the mark.

Selections	(2) Oasis Happy (8) Win Now (1) I Am Happy (6) Dolgyeok Special

Fast Start	1, 2, 7, 9

Seoul Race 4: Class 5 (1800M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(10) FIGHTER got his maiden win over 1700M at the end of February before running 2^nd on his first try at this class and distance on March 28^th, showing close to the pace throughout and with a couple of today’s rivals behind him. He comes up 3.5kg in weight, but that shouldn’t be a problem, and he is the one to beat. (2) LUCKY JOY was an on-pace winner over 1700M on March 29^th. He is up in class but draws well to lead again and he can measure up. So too can (1) BREEDO CALEY. He’s still a maiden but has run 2^nd in both his latest two and he may well appreciate the increased trip today. (4) SHARKTEN and (8) JISAN FRIEND are the other main contenders.

Selections	(10) Fighter (2) Lucky Joy (1) Breedo Caley (4) Sharkten
Next Best	8, 3
Fast Start	1, 2, 8, 10
