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

Seoul Race 1: Class 6 (1400M) Special Weight A / KRW 45 Million

Juvenile maidens and it is hard to go past (1) ECO BOLT. He was sent off as the longest but one shot on the board on debut over 1200M on July 19^th but made a mockery of that with an on-pace 2^nd, beating three of today’s rivals in the process. He will be much shorter today. (3) TONGKWAEHANSEUNGJA didn’t do much on debut but was a much-improved 2^nd at start two over 1000M on August 8^th when settling midfield and running on. Third-up he can be nice and match-fit, and the step up in trip can suit. (6) MYEONG POWERFUL also beat a couple of these on his debut at 1000M on July 26^th, ultimately running 4^th. He should have come on for the run and can get closer today. (5) LEGEND MONSTER and (8) GOLD X, the latter a good 4^th behind the excellent looking Clutch Derby on debut, are others in the frame.

Selections	(1) Eco Bolt (3) Tongkwaehanseungja (6) Myeong Powerful (5) Legend Monster

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

It took (1) BEOLGYO SIGNATURE a few trials to make it to the races, but when he finally did, he ran a fair 4^th of eleven over this distance on July 19^th, settling midfield and running on decently enough. He should have come on for that run and has every chance in this company. (10) JEJU PRINCESS picked up significantly when 4^th over 1400M on July 11^th. Luis has ridden her to her best results and he stays aboard today. (5) DYNAMIC FORCE got sent back to trial after his latest and came through it without offering too many clues. He does have a 2^nd place on his resume and that is enough to have him going close here. (11) GOLDEN WARRIOR hasn’t quite managed to kick on since a 3^rd place four starts back but hasn’t been far away and can be given another chance today. (7) CHRYSOL POSH another who is better than her latest couple suggest.

Selections	(1) Beolgyo Signature (10) Jeju Princess (5) Dynamic Force (11) Golden Warrior

Fast Start	1, 3, 9, 10

Busan Race 1: Class 4 (1800M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million

(5) GLOBAL PRINCE was an also-ran in the Korean Derby in May and was then a beaten favourite on his return to shallower waters on June 14^th when he got himself a warning for laying out. Before the Derby he was a winner at this class and distance, and he can return to winning ways here. (3) DUDUNG was a smart winner at this class over a mile on July 17^th. He comes up 3.5kg in weight as well as up to two-turns for the first time, but neither should be a problem, and he can be a big danger. The vastly experienced (4) EUNSEONG YEONGUNG comes in off back-to-back 3^rd places at this class and distance, and this is the kind of race where he can be there or thereabouts again. (2) OASIS ADELE is up in class following a maiden score over 1400M on July 26^th. He carries a light weight and has already placed over this trip. (8) NEVERSTOP HEEMANG is the other main place chance.

Selections	(5) Global Prince (3) Dudung (4) Eunseong Yeongung (2) Oasis Adele
Next Best	8, 6
Fast Start	3, 5, 9, 10

Seoul Race 3: Class 5 (1800M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(9) LUCKY JOY is probably the one to beat here. His win came over 1700M and he ran 2^nd on his only previous try at this distance, which was also his first go at this level in April. He has been a front running 5^th and 4^th in two starts since then, beating a couple of today’s rivals in the process, and he won’t need to find much more to see off this field. (2) CLUB MAN comes up in class following a maiden win over 1700M on August 9^th when handy throughout. That’s the distance his best results have come at so there is no reason why he can’t handle an additional half furlong, and down in weight and nicely draw, he can more than measure up. (1) KARA K is yet to score in fourteen attempts but has found the minor money on plenty of occasions and enters having run 5^th to Lucky Joy’s 4^th on July 26^th. She’ll be close again. (7) CHOEGO BELT and (10) CHRYSOL STEP other place chances.

Selections	(9) Lucky Joy (2) Club Man (1) Kara K (7) Choego Belt
Next Best	10, 5
Fast Start	2, 4, 9, 10

Busan Race 2: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 45 Million

Juvenile maidens with four of the eleven racing for the first time. One of those newcomers is (2) VICTORY CHAMP, and he will be the favourite. The Old Fashioned colt led for much of the way in his trial, ultimately crossing the line a close 2^nd in a quick time. Drawn well, if he brings that form to the races, he’ll be hard to beat. (8) DAESEONG SKY was also 2^nd in his trial. The time wasn’t as quick, but it was very solid having raced handy throughout, and Seo Seung-un aboard means he will have plenty of first-up supporters. Of the experienced ones, (6) DANALDA was a close 3^rd on debut (close to the 2^nd placegetter, anyway) over 1200M on July 17^th. (3) HIT THE RUNNING and (10) MR. SUNSHINE were 4^th and 5^th in the same race and both also showed enough to suggest they can improve.

Selections	(2) Victory Champ (8) Daeseong Sky (6) Danalda (3) Hit The Running
Next Best	10, 1
Fast Start	1, 2, 6, 10
