A mixed surface meeting and while there should be some terrific racing on the turf, the feature event is on the all-weather Polytrack and the Yew Tee Classic Stakes (race 7) looks a beauty.

 The $150,000 condition weight event over 1800m has FLYING FULTON at the top of the weights and given he doesn’t give that much away for a significant rating advantage; he is the one to beat.

Add the fact he is in top form in elite company, has two Polytrack features to his name in 2012 and has drawn favourable in gate six, the race does looks his for the taking.

But the win is far from a given with some handy types in BLACK ICE and FLYING WEST in form and sure to be thereabouts come the business end.

Throw in FATKID – a winner at Group WFA level – and the vastly improved and often underrated MITRE PEAK in what looks a suitable race and the Yew Tee Classic is definitely a race to watch.

Elsewhere on the card a couple of raced newcomers in ENCOSTA DIABLO (New Zealand) and SPYDER (Argentina)  are expected to get support and race accordingly in races nine and ten respectively.

Both have trailed well since arriving and although both find themselves in competitive fields, first up wins with some welcome early prizemoney for connections would not surprise.

Best Bets; FLYING FULTON (race 7, win), U GOT IT (race 9, value), PROBO CHANDROSO (race 6, value).

Bankers for Jackpots: Race 7 (1, 3, 5 and 7), race 8 (3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 12), race 9 (1, 2, 3, 4 and 10) and race 10 (1, 2, 4 and 5).

Please note the odds listed are "reference odds" only.

RACE 1: MAIDEN - 1400M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 18:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "A very weak maiden over 1400m on turf starts off proceedings. MOEROCK is resuming from a short break and has been placed in the first four in four of his six starts; most of which have been in Class 4. If anywhere near fit he should be much too good for this field. SUCCESS WINNIE ran over an unsuitable distance last start, she too was performing well in Class 4 prior to that and this distance suits. KUTI KUTI has performed well over this distance in Maiden Class before and this is not a strong event. ALPHA INFINITY will be suited by turf and the 1400m; he should be on the pace all the way. ONEPLUSZERO ONE has no weight, possesses speed and is well drawn; he could get an easy run in front. If the emergency GOLFER gets a start his New Zealand form was good enough to win this race. AL-HAMID and MR COOL MAN are not the worst and the other emergency ETERNAL FLY with four placings in 29 starts has a chance if he gets a start."

RACE 2: RESTRICTED MAIDEN (2+3YO) (WEIGHT FOR AGE) - 1400M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 18:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$65000

Larry says, "A much higher quality field of maidens than in the previous event with depth rarely seen in this type of affair. SMART IDEA has not had much luck at his three starts, he is drawn out a bit but Ivaldo Santana should be able get him just behind the pace and hopefully not caught too wide. In fact he should have won last start and can make amends with luck in running. MUSKETEER has been runner-up at four of its only five starts with three of those occasions being over this trip on turf. He will be up disputing the pace and with Alan Munro steering will be given every chance to break through. Leslie Khoo has WAR TIME engaged who ran an excellent race on debut on this track and distance. The stable mate NOTIPNOTIPS ran a similarly good race albeit on the Polytrack over a shorter trip. Both horses should go well. XAVIO put in a solid effort last start from a wide barrier; he is poorly drawn again but should be running on solidly at the finish. CHAMPAGNE ROSE was supported at her last outing and while her best form has been on the Poly, the 1400m looks ideal and she could show up. Both POSITIVE THINKING and RISK FACTOR are coming back in trip, but their recent form is good enough to merit consideration. "

RACE 3: CLASS 4 (2) - 1200M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 19:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$55000

Larry says, "A very open Class 4 on the turf and with that in mind we may have a good look - as will others - at the only 2YO in the field, RISING EMPIRE. The youngster smashed them in his Maiden then ran a respectable race in the Golden Horseshoe – he is a promising and although a risk against Open aged horses, he should be well in this class. He might come in for plenty of support but pay to follow. WOJCINSKI finds himself back on turf, well drawn and over a suitable distance. Dan Beasley has won on him before and from barrier two he is certain to give plenty of cheek. BLACK JACK has a good first-up record; he will have benefited from a recent barrier trial and should be running on strongly at the end. ACE ARMANDO is suited by the Class, surface, distance and from barrier 3, Jose Verenzuela should have him prominent and he could run on well. THAT’STHEONE is drawn wide but he has speed and if he can get on the back of the pace could be challenging in the straight. EATON’S GOLD can be a problem at the start but if on his best behaviour is up to this field. RAVOUX put in an ordinary one last start when caught wide, he is better than that and Alan Munro should give him every chance. BOURBON NIGHT also flopped last start after a good maiden win; he has speed and should be prominent, but must be taken on trust on turf. The emergency, STUB put in a better effort last start, he will be better suited on turf and could be running into form. "

RACE 4: CLASS 5 - 1600M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 19:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "A Class 5 over the mile on the Polytrack is always an open affair and this is no exception. Leslie Khoo has the proven performer DAN NOBLE engaged and whilst he has been taking his time to knock in a Class 5 win this time back, he gets his chance here, assuming he can follow on from his solid third placing last start. RECIPROCATE won with some dash last start and his form this time in has been very good, if he can repeat the effort he has a strong chance again. Also with winning form is BEAUTIFUL WORLD and Class 5 is in his favour today to knock in back-to-back wins. WHO ELS is way down in the ratings, he gets back but is always running on; this is not a strong field and could be the one charging home. STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN is very hard to catch but his only two wins have been with blinkers and a strong rider – he gets that tonight with the in-form Saifudin steering. EQUIENCE battles away over the mile but he needs a strong speed in the race early. BEAUTIFUL WORLD won a weak maiden last start and must have some chance again, and TIEN CHAI ran his best race for some time last start, and now has Greg Cheyne taking the mount. SAVVY AS and QUI EST LA are one’s to consider for the exotics. If the emergency CHEVY gets a run he too will be very hard to beat, dropping from Kranji Stakes Class C to Class 5 in one go."

RACE 5: CLASS 4 - 1800M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 20:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$55000

Larry says, "Another extremely tricky Class 4 over 1800m on turf where tactics will play a big part. There has always been a bit of a wrap about DEVONSHIRE and he was placed at Class 3 level at his last start – the 1800m looks like it will suit him and he can be expected to run well. JUST DASHING put in a good effort in this Class and distance two starts back to beat STEADFAST WARRIOR, that form would be good enough for this race, and with Danny Beasley steering he should be right in the finish. GOLD RUN is racing in fine form and whilst on trial at the distance gives the impression he will handle it without difficulty. As will GOLDEN DOMINATOR who is coming off a maiden win and the step up to 1800m looks ideal. There was a lot to like about TERRA FIRMA’s win in much weaker company, he is lightly raced and could be an improver with no weight and Zuriman’s claim he may try to lead all the way. Likewise URBAN DANCER could go forward and try to dictate. There are plenty of other chances with VAYA CONDIOS coming off a good win but up in weight and on trial at the distance, CANSAVE who has good form over this type of trip in Australia, and PADDY O’REILLY who will certainly go well for the in-form Barend Vorster. "

RACE 6: CLASS 5 - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 20:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "The first emergency, SPECIAL ACCOUNT, must get a mention early as he will probably start favourite if he gets a run and looks right in the winning mix on form. But of those with guaranteed starts in what looks a weak Class 5 field, I think we have a long look at the Class dropper, PROBO CHANDROSO, who by rights should win in this company. The two-time Poly winner started a shade under 3-1 two starts back in Class 4 company and while disappointing of late, he should win in this field on ability alone. The tote might be a fair guide for PROBO CHANDROSO as it will be for VERSAILLES PALACE from the astute Leslie Khoo stable. The 4YO American-bred gelding has been disappointing with support previously but very much appreciates the first up tough run and the inside gate today so look for a bold run. With value and the old adage of 'one last chance', I will also be keeping LIGHTNING ACE safe. The form reads badly but a solid claim, a nice gate and winkers added suggests he could show up in a race he should have been doing better in. Of the rest, THAT'S CASH and WONDER GENERAL pick themselves with DECISIVE and MR VANTASTIC in the exotic mix. "

RACE 7: YEW TEE CLASSIC STAKES (3+YO) (CONDITION WEIGHT) (RIDER ALLOWANCES NOT PERMITTED) - 1800M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 21:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$150000

Larry says, "While the race certainly has more to offer than declaring FLYING FULTON the winner, it is hard to go past the 5YO in what looks his race to lose. Already with two Poly features to his name in 2012, FLYING FULTON is easily in best at the race conditions getting 4.5kg off his nearest rival on ratings - FAT KID - and given his super form of late in top company, he is extremely hard to beat. But as mentioned the race has more to offer than that and jockey Jose Verenzuela will have a few horses to keep an eye on including FAT KID, MITRE PEAK, FLYING WEST and BLACK ICE. FAT KID is perhaps the most interesting of the challengers given he has WFA Group credentials to his name and his form suggests a big run is on the cards. I also think MITRE PEAK - one of the most improved horses in Singapore - could go super fresh with the Polytrack certainly in his favour. FLYING WEST picks himself - incredibly honest - with BLACK ICE just going too well to leave out completely. Others in the race - AGENAIS and MARTINCHO CAT to name two - have form but a tough ask at the weights in this company."

RACE 8: GRADUATION (SET WEIGHTS) - 1400M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 21:55 PRIZE MONEY: S$65000

Larry says, "This race will offer plenty of value for punters with at least seven horses with winning hopes and a short likely favourite in RUNNING TALL keeping the field at attractive odds. In saying that, Pat Shaw and connections look to have found a perfect race for RUNNING TALL who not only gets in best at the race connections but is over what should be his preferred trip. The 3YO won at Group 2 level in Australia before coming to Singapore and while disappointing not to have won again after scoring on debut, can make amends here. But we love some value and it might pay to look elsewhere on the day with JERAM CLIPPER a good option. Like RUNNING TALL, the two-time winner from Australia won at his Singapore debut before finding it all too hard after doing it tough on the pace second up. He has drawn better today in gate four and can certainly show his best for regular hoop, Danny Beasley. I also think CHINESE CULTURE might get out to very attractive odds and given a slight gear change - winkers on - a nice gate, a very handy 2kg claim and back over his winning trip, the 3YO colt might surprise. Hard to leave out GOLDEN CURL and NATURAL NICE - both big winning hopes - with GUSHA a long-shot hope at the weights."

RACE 9: KRANJI STAKES C (SET WEIGHTS) - 1200M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 22:25 PRIZE MONEY: S$75000

Larry says, "A newcomer with a listed win under his belt, a few smart 3YO's and an underrated top-weight make this race a very interesting affair. And with value in mind I think the top-weight, U GOT IT, can win back in Kranji Stakes C company. The 6YO gelding has been up against some nice types of late and when you consider he can lead from the nice gate he might prove hard to run down with Freddie Firdaus' 2kg looking a winning move. The tote is going to a fair guide on the newcomer, ENCOSTA DIABLO. The former won four times in NZ and when you consider one of those was in a listed race and his trials since arriving have been solid, he must be respected. You can make a case for plenty of others with SHAOLIN SOLDIER very much in the mix with TRUDEAU also worth a serious look with blinkers removed and Vorster on-board. The 3YO's - LET'S SEE ACTION, RUSH and LUCKY XUAN - all should have admirers."

RACE 10: CLASS 4 (1) - 1200M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 22:55 PRIZE MONEY: S$55000

Larry says, "A couple of promising types in ASCLEPIUS and GOODPACK - meet for the second time in their short careers and given there was nothing between the pair on debut they look hard to split today. ASCLEPIUS won that day but given GOODPACK was supported and then backed up that good run with a strong win, he is the early pick. But nothing between them and I would expect both to be supported with another 3YO, SPYDER, also in the betting and not without a strong chance at his Singapore debut. In fact the former Argentinean looks well placed in Class 4 and with a couple of nice trials under his belt could even start favourite. The tote will be a good guide - one could some in for very heavy support - and that might be as good as guide as any. Of the rest I will be having a 'saver' on the Class dropper, RIO FORTUNE. After winning early in his Singapore career in Class 3, he finally drops to what looks a suitable grade given his recent form and a big run is on the cards."
