Seoul Saturday: Race-By-Race Preview (October 17)

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

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

(8) BLUE ROSE has a 2nd and a 3rd from two starts so far, both over this distance and both times settling handy and running on. Third-up he can be peaking and he can win here. (10) PARKA RACER came from well off the pace to run 3rd on debut over 1300M on September 19th. He can have come on for that run, the wide draw should be no problem, and he can be a danger today. (11) GEOLJAK RUBY’s best performance to date was on debut when she finished 2nd of nine over 1000M. She has raced fairly for 6th and 5th in her latest two and should be aiming to go better today. (3) CITY OF DREAM and (5) BOLSTER are others who can have at least placing claims.

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

(1) AREUMDAUN BIT has been knocking on the door for a while and has a 2nd and a 4th place from her latest two, both over this distance and both times coming from off the pace. There isn’t much speed in this race so she can be a little further forward earlier today and she has as good a chance as any. (11) CHEONSANGGEOMNYONG has got a long way back in both his starts so far but has run on pleasingly enough for 4th and 5th. Maia gets on for the first time and third-up he can be nice and fit. (6) TONNERRE DOS was 3rd over the minimum distance two starts back but has been finishing off his races well and may appreciate the step up in trip today. (5) SONGDANG JILJU and (8) YEONGWONHAN LUCEA among other chances.

Seoul Race 3: Class 6 (1000M) Special Weight A / KRW 45 Million

Juvenile maidens with six of the ten racing for the first time. The exposed form isn’t great, so we’ll take a chance on a newcomer and (6) FOREVER RUN. He settled midfield in his trial, running on to finish 4th in a fair time and he may not need to improve too much from that to win here. Among the aforementioned exposed form, (8) CUPID CHEONGUNG has the best. After an ordinary trial, he didn’t do much wrong when 5th of eleven on debut over 1200M on September 19th and can make some progress here. (7) GETTYSBURG was slow away on debut over this distance but finished off well enough. He previously led his trial and if he can address that start, he can get much closer today. (2) GOLDEN RISING and newcomer (5) ARIRANG STAR are the others to consider.

Seoul Race 4: Class 6 (1700M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million

(6) CRUSH GIRL has two 4th places and a 2nd from three starts so far, up to 1400M. Luis rode her to her best finish, and he returns to the ride today and the step up to two turns may well suit. (4) LEADERS PARTNER took a few goes to figure things out, but he has definitely taken to two turns with a 3rd and a 2nd in his two tries over this trip so far. He likes to settle back and run on and he can be a danger late here. (5) NURI EUTTEUM led for most of the way around on his way to a best to date 2nd place over this distance on September 20th and he can lead again here in a race where there is no obvious speed. (2) SMART GRAND and (9) ÉCLAIR WIND are among others who can compete for at least the places.
