Seoul Race 1: Class 6 (1300M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million
(8) BITNARA has run 3rd in both his latest two at 1300M and 1400M, racing close to the pace both times. He can be on pace here again and is favoured to go one better against this set of opposition. (9) SEOUL NONGBU has a 5th and a 4th from his two outings so far, most recently at this distance in a very slow race on March 30th. He comes in fresh after thirteen weeks out and can go closer. (4) RAON THE BELMONT came home in 3rd place on his latest start on May 18th despite racing ungenerously for much of the way. He was sent back to trial as a result and having come through that well, with better manners here, he can be a threat. (2) BULGUKSIDAE and (6) X FACTOR others in the frame.

Seoul Race 2: Class 6 (1300M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million
Not the strongest of maidens. (10) MALSGO comes in off a best to date 2nd place on May 24th over this distance when handy throughout. He is the only one in the field to have placed – he has done it twice – and despite the wide draw he should have enough about him to get to the speed and win. (5) GOLD SPINNING was an improved 4th at start four over 1200M on May 11th and can continue to make progress here. (2) GANGCHEOL POWER comes back in trip after recent efforts at further including two 4th places form his latest four and that's enough to put him in the placing mix here. (7) ROAD TO SPEAR and (4) BLUE DRAGON others who could feature.

Seoul Race 3: Class 6 (1700M) Special Weight A / KRW 30 Million
Small but quite competitive field. (3) HEEMANGBAND has recorded her best results so far since stepping up to this distance with a 2nd and a 3rd from her latest two. She likes to settle back and run on and with Moon Se-young aboard for the first time, today can be the day. (4) SEUNGNI BAROWS enters off back-to-back 3rd places over 1400M, coming from off the pace both times. He steps up to two turns for the first time and it can suit. (6) BLUE SUN has two 5th places and a 3rd from his three outings to date. He too comes up to this trip for the first time and can be a danger late on. (7) BLACK SMILE and (8) TTOSUNI SEOUL need lines through their respective latest outings but can be in the placing frame.
Selections | (3) Heemangband (4) Seungni Barows (6) Blue Sun (7) Black Smile |

Seoul Race 4: Class 5 (1200M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million
(4) DRAGON KILLER is yet to win in four attempts but has never finished any worse than 3rd. That's where he finished on his first try at this class over 1300M on June 1st having led for part of the way around, and he has every chance here. (11) WESTERN GUN has mixed his form across six starts so far with three strong performances and three somewhat less so. He hasn't raced at this trip before but looks worth a chance in this company. (3) JOSE was an all the way maiden winner on June 6th at this class and distance. She is up 2.5kg in weight, but that's balanced by a good draw, and she can be a danger again. (7) GOOD FIGHTER and (2) GEOSEON POKJU others to consider.
Selections | (4) Dragon Killer (11) Western Gun (3) Jose (7) Good Fighter |

Seoul Race 5: Class 5 (1400M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million
(11) DRAGON FANTASY was a winner at this class and distance on June 1st. That was his maiden win on his first try at this class and while he comes up 3.5kg in weight and has the challenge of the widest gate, he can be in the mix again. (5) THUNDER MARVEL was a good winner over this distance on June 25th, leading for most of the way around. He comes up in class but is down 3kg in weight and can measure up in this company. (1) QUANTUM K had a poor day at the office on his first try at this class on May 25th when up with the pace but fading rapidly. Instead, we'll go on his win at the start before and give him another chance from what a much better gate. (4) WONDERFUL THATCH and (6) UMA DACHI the other place chances.
Selections | (11) Dragon Fantasy (5) Thunder Marvel (1) Quantum K (4) Wonderful Thatch |

Seoul Race 6: Class 4 (1700M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million
(6) K POWERFUL got back-to-back wins in March and April at this distance, the latter at this class before running 2nd over 1800M on May 18th having race don pace throughout. He carries his fair share of weight here but should be on the pace and have too much for this set of opponents. (7) ROPPONGI DRAGON hasn't missed the top three since his debut effort and comes in off a win at this distance and runner-up over 1800M from his latest two. He is up in class here but down a full 5kg in weight, and he is the main danger. (4) ORANGE TIME was a solid winner over 1400M on May 25th. That brings him up in class as well as up to two turns for the first time, and he can measure up. (8) SUPER BLUEMOON and (5) ANYANG CHEONDUNG others in the hunt.

Seoul Race 7: Class 3 (1600M) Handicap / KRW 75 Million
(4) GANGNARU was a winner at this class and distance on June 1st, settling midfield and running on strongly. That took him to four wins from eight starts with one of his reverses coming in the KRA Cup Mile. He has won under more weight than he carries today and from gate four, he can sit behind the speed and prove too strong again. (3) PALATINO races for the first time since a solid 4th in a Trophy race over 1800M in April. He is yet to tackle the mile but has never finished outside of the top four and he should maintain that record here. (2) SAHARAMOND similarly tries a mile for the first time. He has mixed his form of late, but CC Wong, who was 2nd on him the only previous time he rode, returns to the mount, and he can be close from a great draw and under a light weight. (6) PEPPER X and (8) M G BEST are other place chances.
Selections | (4) Gangnaru (3) Palatino (2) Saharamond (6) Pepper X |

Seoul Race 8: Class 4 (1800M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million
(9) TIZ ENERGY beat a couple of these on his way to 2nd place at this class and distance on June 1st, settling midfield and running on. He has the fastest time among these for 1800M and while he carries his fair share of weight and then some here, he can go one better. (4) BLAMING WAR was a winner two starts back at this class and distance before running a good 3rd on May 24th at 1700M. Both of those were filly only races so she carries a light weight here and from a good draw, is a big danger. (2) PEARL POINT was 3rd behind Tiz Energy on June 1st and can be there or thereabouts again. (7) FLYING OAKS and (10) SUPER THUNDER others in the frame.
Selections | (9) Tiz Energy (4) Blaming War (2) Pearl Point (7) Flying Oaks |

Seoul Race 9: Class 2 (1400M) Handicap / KRW 90 Million
(1) DRONE KILLER enters off a close 2nd place in a quick race at this class over a mile on May 11th when on pace throughout. It's been a while since his latest win but his recent form has been consistent and Moon Se-young stays on. (7) USEUNG CONCORD has won his latest two, both over this distance and both times from off the pace. That brings him up in class, but he is down in weight, he has the fastest time among these for the 1400M, and a hat-trick isn't impossible. (11) MIGHTY JOY enters off a win and then back-to-back runner-up finishes, most recently on his first try at this class on May 31st when leading for much of the way around. He continues under a light weight and while he has the challenge of the widest gate, he can be a danger. (8) MIGHTY JJANG and (5) JANGBI DAEUN others in the hunt.
