Selections Summary

* – Indicates Special/Nap

Seoul Race 1: Class 6 (1200M) Special Weight A / KRW 45 Million

(4) MEMENTO was a winner of her one and only trial on August 27 prior to a one-and-a-quarter length second place to the smart looking G B Queen when making her race debut on October 4 and this Moon Byeong-ki prepared Nasca owned Medici Glory filly is the one to beat clearly. (5) CUPID CHEONGUNG outran odds of 107/1 on her debut when finishing midfield and was once again not far away at his second start when finishing third and Ruan Maia rides. (9) CUPID LUCKY finished worse than midfield on debut but his solitary trial prior yielded a second beaten less than a length so he can be given another chance with (3) BEAT PLAY next best over (6) GEOLJAK YUNSEUL, which finished last on debut but was much better at her second run finishing second, and (8) STAR A.I.

Seoul Race 2: Class 6 (1300M) Special Weight A / KRW 45 Million

(9) BREEDO EPIC was out the back on debut but has been a lot closer at his next three runs with the best of those being last start when only beaten a half-length and he can go one better this time. (1) BLUE ROSE brings the best figure form with a second on debut followed by a third and a fourth at her next two and is a key player. (10) FULL STRIKE has been just behind the placegetters in four runs whilst similar comments apply to (7) HONEY SKY and (8) CHEONGGANG BOM with (11) ECLIPSE SODA perhaps the best of the roughies.

Seoul Race 3: Class 5 (1300M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(2) ECO BOLT was best of the rest on debut behind the smart Clutch Derby, a subsequent Listed winner, before starting as the popular pick in his second race where he made a mess of the start before doing too much work to find a forward role prior to subsequently dropping out to run last. He began much better last start and duly led and won by twelve-lengths so if he finds himself in front the youngest horse in the field will be hard to run down. (3) PARKA RACER came from well back on his debut to run third before going two places better in his second run and rates as a chance if not giving them too bigger start. (4) STEPPING STONE was a winner of his debut at the end of April and has since recorded a ninth and two fourth places in three runs all over this distance and naturally at this grade and is an each-way chance along with (11) BINNALEEDS whilst (7) MY WAY BOSS ran a much improved race behind a good winner last start and in that event was two-lengths ahead of the reopposing (6) AMOS CHOEGANG.

Seoul Race 4: Class 5 (1200M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(5) SONGDANG FIRST is a two-year-old taking on her elders that beat a pair of subsequent winners when winning her debut on September 19 before taking a chance against the better juveniles at Listed level last month where she dropped out. This is easier and she can bounce back to winning ways. (9) HWANSANGUI NARA is hard to catch but should not be denied an each-way chance. (2) SILK SPECTER has not been far away with minor placings four, three, and two runs back behind some decent winners and can run well. (7) NINE SPEAR is having her first run for three months but followed up her maiden win with a third when attempting this class for the first time and rates next over (6) STUNNING BOLT and (11) ROAD TO STAR.

Seoul Race 5: Class 4 (1400M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million

(9) TIGER BULPAE completed back-to-back successes with a nose victory over arguably better rivals at her latest run two months ago which was at this level. She has gone up six pounds in the handicap mark but only carries one kilogram extra in this as that most recent win was against her own sex and she can complete a hat-trick. (3) BARAMGAEBI won back-to-back races at Class 6 and 5 level prior to two fifth places in two runs to date at this grade and can be around the mark once more. (5) JECHUK SANJIRO has his quirks but has some ability and ran to his best form last start and if putting his best foot forward it would be no surprise if he were to come up to Class 4 and be competitive. (7) CHEONGHAE STAR struggled when running at this level for the first time but can be given another chance with (6) ISIMNYEON SEWOL and (2) SUBUTAI not to be denied chances.

Seoul Race 6: Class 5 (1800M) Handicap / KRW 45 Million

(1) KATARINARA seemed to enjoy the rise in trip when stepping up to this distance range for the first time last start as she broke her maiden. She is the least experienced in the field making just her fifth appearance, but the three-year-old filly has every chance of going on with the job. (9) HWARANGSAN JEONGGI might not be the worst from an each-way perspective if he does not concede too much ground at the start. (8) POWERFUL SLEW looks to be getting closer to a first victory at this grade and Ruan Maia rides. (6) ECLIPSE BAY should be there for a long way whilst (10) CHRYSOL PEACE and (3) SOFT POWER have consistent form and neither should be denied chances and nor should the likes of (4) WONDERFUL DARSHAAN, (5) SUPER ECTON and (7) SHARKTEN.

Seoul Race 7: Class 4 (1800M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million

(8) BEONGAE LEWIS won his one and only trial and his first three races very impressively from front-running roles however failed to get on pace last start when stepping up to this distance range for the first time, he was also rising four kilograms in weight on his previous win at this grade, and was a never likely sixth. It will be interesting to see where he lands in the run and how he goes over even further here however Kozzi Asano hoping on board is no negative, interestingly it is his first ride on the horse even though he is effectively the stable jockey for Tony Castanheira. (9) MY THERN has ability on his day, and Franco da Silva rides him for the first time. (7) RELFECT was a bit disappointing last start and was subsequently stood down to trial after hanging. He has six-and-three-quarter lengths to find with Beongae Lewis from that race. (6) GOJU ILCHEOK completes the main quartet of players in the event with (4) HANAM ELDORADO and (1) HAKSAN PRINCE best of the rest.

Seoul Race 8: Class 2 (2000M) Handicap / KRW 90 Million

(4) MUSTANG POWER won five of his first nineteen starts between December 2021 and March 2024 but in the following thirty-two months across twenty-four starts he has remained winless. There have been some close calls however with two of his last four runs resulting in second places beaten a nose. The other two efforts have yielded minor placings behind smart horses. This is a very winnable Class 2 and if he is close enough in the run this must be the day. (10) STORM BREAKER looks the principal danger, but he has six-lengths to find with Mustang Power from the most recent start for both horses on October 25. He has a terribly similar record to Mustang Power in that he won four of his first eleven starts but has not done so since in the following twenty-seven tries. (8) WHIZ RUNNER could be a place hope at odds whilst (5) SAEPARANG was an upset winner of a stronger race at this level last start when coming from near the rear to claim victory on the line and only carries one-and-a-half kilograms extra here. (1) ACE K was a thirteen-length winner during the winter of a Class 3 but has been beaten over thirteen lengths in each of his three runs at this grade subsequently however still rates next over (9) CHOEGO GAME.

Seoul Race 9: Class 4 (1400M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million

(2) MIGHTY SHINE was an impressive ten-length victor over a subsequent winner three runs ago and whilst she has found things a tad tougher in two runs at this level, she can go close in this. (9) G FLEX since finishing thirteenth in the KRA Cup Mile (Korean 2000 Guineas) five runs ago in March has finished second in each of his next four starts. He looked the winner at some stage in his runs four, three, and two back whilst last time he was slow to go and was never nearer than at the finish. Seo Seung-un returns the ride and he once again remains a chance even though straight out punters may be losing patience. The small field will perhaps help his cause especially from the barrier. (4) YOUNG FIGHTER is knocking on the door for a victory at this grade and is probably the safe bet in the race from an each-way perspective with (1) LOVERMAN and (6) POWERFUL IMPACT, which is having his first run for Moon Se-young and probably running over a trip shorter than ideal, the other main contenders over (5) CYCLONE STAR.

Seoul Race 10: Class 3 (1200M) Handicap / KRW 75 Million

(2) HWASAN POKPAL is having his first race for four months but has been back in work since October 7 and was fifth in a trial three weeks ago. Back on May 10 he finished three-lengths ahead of (5) STORM CROWN and he is better in at the weights to confirm the form. Storm Crown however has no doubt improved since with an impressive six-length win over this distance at Class 4 three back in August followed by a fifth and a second in two runs at this grade and the powerful pair of Kozzi Asano and Tony Castanheira combine. (11) DUSON EUTTEUM is a smart front-runner on her day and had put the writing on the wall with some better efforts prior to her four-length victory a month ago where she pinched the prize from the front. (10) HWASANGWIHWAN was out the back last time but his prior form was consistent whilst (9) MUCHO MACHO RAPIDO rises nine pounds and three kilograms on his last start course, distance, and grade victory but should not be denied a chance with (7) GEOSEN BIGMAN, which is close to a win, being the other key player.
