Seoul Race 1: Class 6 (1300M) Special Weight A / KRW 25 Million

Tricky maiden to begin with but (5) MOMO K just about gets the nod. He's finished 3rd in both starts so far, both at 1200M and while his times haven't been especially quick, he's shown enough to suggest that there can be more improvement in the tank. From a good gate he should be on pace and in this a long way. (9) DRAGON SQUARE won a November trial and then finished a fair 3rd on debut over 1400M on December 10th, settling back and running on. He finished off well in the trial too so the wide draw shouldn't be a problem and he can match or better that 3rd today. (11) JANGGUN GARAM races for the first time since being given his chance in the Listed Munhwa Ilbo Trophy in early October. He finished down the field but the 2nd and the 3rd prior that led him to that opportunity suggest he should be very much in this. (1) SMART CLAIR and (6) SEONGSIN CHEONHA others in the placing frame.

(5) SEONGSIL DAERO will be favourite here. After a plain debut, she ran a strong 2nd over this distance on November and followed up with a 4th place, again at the distance, on December 3rd. She likes to race on pace and draws well to get forward and she will take some beating. (3) STEALTH PARK's recent races have been slow, but he too has a 2nd and a 4th to his name over today's trip. He also goes best when on pace and should be a contender here. (11) JEONGSEONG VICE enters off a much-improved runner-up finish over tis distance on November 11th. He faces the challenge of the widest gate here but in this company, shouldn't be dismissed. (4) ON THE ROCKS and solitary debut-maker (8) EAST KING STONE are others in the hunt for the minors.

Seoul Race 3: Class 5 (1200M) Handicap / KRW 40 Million

It's hard to go past (1) RAON THE FANTA. He got his maiden win at start number two over 1000M in September and has since run 2nd on both his tries at this class and distance, racing handy both times and stopping the clock in good times. He does come up a couple of kilograms in the weights, but he gets a great draw, and it would be a big surprise were he not to win this. (9) TAEPYEONG VISION is up in class following her maiden win over this distance on November 26th when she sat midfield and ran on. That marked a big improvement from her previous three efforts, but she won with enough in hand to suggest she can measure up at this level. (6) LADY CODI has put in two fair runs at this class since getting her maiden win in September. She was 4th behind Raon The Fanta two starts back and while she may not overturn that form here, she can be close. (3) SPEAR GOLD and (2) DONGHAENG FIRST are others to keep safe.

Seoul Race 4: Class 5 (1400M) Handicap / KRW 40 Million

(3) CITY KING got his maiden win at start number two on November 18th, making all over 1200M. He comes up in class and in distance here, but he has every chance of a repeat and will start a warm favourite. (5) CUPID CHAMP will be the clear second favourite. She is yet to win in ten attempts but has no fewer than five top-three finished including his latest at this class and distance on November 19th when 3rd having raced midfield and finished off well. She remains lightly weighted and should be there or thereabouts again. (4) MISS HIGH FLY ran 2nd at class and distance two starts back before running a fair 5th in marginally better company than this last time out and that's enough to see her in the mix here. The returning (2) JJARTIHAN JAYU, along with (8) STORM BREAKER, are others who can enter the calculations.

Seoul Race 5: Class 4 (1700M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million

Competitive race. (7) TIZ INDY was a class 5 winner over 1400M two starts back before running midfield on her first try at this class, again at 1400M in November. She comes up to two turns for the first time, but she remains lightly weighted, and she has as good a chance as any here. (6) WINNER YOUNG hasn't been seen since a midfield finish in the KRA Cup Mile, the first keg of the Triple Crown, at the end of April. He had proven his ability at two turns and at this class with a runner-up finish prior to that and while he comes in off a long absence, he won a trial in November without expending much effort. Moon Se-young's presence will probably see him start as favourite. (5) CURRERECUS was a class and distance winner last time out on November 25th and while he comes up 4kg as a result, he warrants respect. (3) DEVIL K and (1) GOLDEN HONOR others in the frame.

Seoul Race 6: Class 4 (1600M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million

Another competitive race. (6) WALGADAK won at class 5 level over 1700M back in June and since then has been 4th on all three subsequent starts at this class, last time out beating a couple of these over the mile on November 19th. She likes to settle back and run on, Moon Se-young stays on, and under a light weight, she has strong claims here. (9) HWANGWOO CHOEGANG is a very consistent type and has finished between 2nd and 4th in each of her latest three starts, all at this class and two of them at this distance. The wide draw shouldn't be a problem as she tends to do her best work late and she will be a danger. (5) NEW KINGMAN was a winner at this class over 1400M on October 29th and while he has the steadier of an additional 5kg on his back today, he shouldn't be dismissed. (8) WHIZ RUNNER and (7) CHALLAN HANNAL others in the frame in what is perhaps the most open race on the card.

Seoul Race 7: Class 3 (1200M) Handicap / KRW 75 Million

(8) RAON AMERICAN returned to winning ways on his latest start on October 9th when slowly away but running on very well over this distance. He comes up 3.5kg in the weights but he comes in fresh, the wide draw won't matter in this small field, and he can go back-to-back. (3) GIANT KILLING was well back behind Raon American in that October race but has since run a decent 4th at class and distance in arguably a deeper race than this. He draws well and could be the biggest danger. (4) LONDON ACTIVE comes up in class following an all the way win over this distance on October 29th. This is tougher but she comes down a full 5kg in the weights and she can be competitive. (7) ULTRA KING and (9) SAENAE POWERFUL among other placing hopes.
