Seoul Saturday: Race-By-Race Preview (October 10)

Saturday’s racing is at Seoul with 10 races from 10:35 to 17:55. The Autumn Festival will continue after racing until 9pm. Here are the previews:

Seoul Race 1: Class 6 (1000M) Special Weight A / KRW 45 Million

(11) DAON HUNTER was best of the rest on debut behind a smart winner on Korean Cup Day and on that form alone looks hard to beat despite the tough draw. (5) CRAZY BLUE was not far away on debut when finishing fourth and can be expected to go close once more. (9) YEONGWONHAN BOSS has had the one trial for one score and although the time was slow you cannot do anymore than win. (3) MR. BULLS and (4) POINT WIND, from the stables of Lee Shin-woo and Kim Dong-chul respectively, are two of the other debutantes and rate next with (7) NAREUSYA VICTOR, which has trialled once for a second, and (8) MAGIC TOUCH.

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

(6) MY CITY has trialled twice for two front-running victories, and the form does not look at all bad out of those two heats so this Park Byeong-il trained colt by Improbable with Andre da Silva on board looks as if he will be very hard to stop. (7) MIGHTY HUNKY and (9) SINGSING MORNING came home third and fourth separated by one-length in the feature juvenile race over international weekend and both have to be given outstanding chances as does (3) SPEARS who was third on debut prior to making up ground from last to run fourth in the Rookie Stakes. (10) GWANAKSAN BIGSTONE was third in the most recent of his pair of trials and rates next over (4) EAST WINNER in an enthralling race for the foreign bred, they are all Americans, juveniles.

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

(9) ECO BOLT was best of the rest behind Clutch Derby on debut which led him to be sent off a 2.1 favourite for his second race where he made a mess of the start and subsequently did too much work to find a position. If he begins with them today, he can make up for last time. (4) BLITZ CARA comes off a fourth in the Listed Gwacheon Mayor’s Trophy four weeks ago so naturally rates as a strong chance as does (7) STAR PLAY who had been in front of Blitz Cara in his first two starts before racing very greenly in that Listed race and subsequently finishing last. They do the look the main three with (10) SEMYEONG FAKER perhaps next best over (5) DU UM and (6) MASK GIRL.

Seoul Race 4: Class 6 (1400M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(11) YONGBI SINSEONG is a two-year-old that has had three runs for a second and a fourth with a tenth sandwiched in-between. This is a winnable maiden and despite the draw he can make his presence felt. (8) LOVING PURPLE was going to go close to winning two starts ago before dumping her pilot and was stood down to trial on two occasions prior to resuming at the races with a fifth. (10) WALLSTREET has some inconsistent form but the form of her two third place finishes gives her a chance with (1) PASA ACE, (2) DREAM DIA and (3) NIGHT CAPTAIN not hopeless and neither are (7) ROAD TO SPEAR, (4) CHRYSOL TEN and (5) WONDERFUL CATHY.

Selections(11) Yongbi Sinseong (8) Loving Purple (10) Wallstreet (1) Pasa Ace
