PREVIEW SINGAPORE SUNDAY 29 June 2014

 

RAISE NO DOUBT goes better than most.

And while he arrived in Singapore with the record of only one placing from three starts, the unplaced runs were in very nice juvenile company in Australia and there were wraps on the now 3YO after a good trial in Singapore.

He didn’t let his backers down on debut - bolting in by over four lengths - and obviously won nice enough at his next two in Novice and Graduation company to think he is a potential top-liner.

His trainer, Leticia Dragon, looks to have found a very good race  - a Kranji Stakes C over 1200m (race 9) - to keep his unbeaten run in Singapore going with gate 1 just a bonus in this field.

Elsewhere on the card - race 10 to be precise - NEW YORK CITY could have the punters singing as he tries to turn three eye-catching but ultimately disappointing runs in Singapore into a win.

He swoops like the cult favourite he is fast becoming and with a likely good clip set early by MAREA NEGRO, the stars and stripes silks should salute in what is a very suitable race.

Best Bets; (RAISE NO DOUBT race 9, win), (NEW YORK CITY race 10, win) and (ARROWHEAD race 11, win).

 

Bankers for Jackpots: Race 8 (1, 2, 7, 8 and 10), race 9 (2), race 10 (1, 2, 3, 5 and 6), race 11 (1, 3, 4, 10 and 12).

RACE 8: CLASS 5 - 1800M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 16:25 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "Absolutely nothing jumps off the page in this Class 5 event and while 1800m won't be an issue for most, lack of winning or even good form will. KLEVER WARRIOR has only one career win to his name - and that was on the Poly - but showed placing last start over 2000m that he handles the turf. The good gate helps and he might be the one punters flock to in a race with no stand-outs. INCREDIBLE HULK knows how to win and might find this race suitable to show his best late. A good early pace will suit the swooper as will the Long Course D and he might even be value given he comes into this with a poor run under his belt. A couple of maidens in MARINE PARK and SEA OF LOVE also appeal and should find this race to their liking with THREE KINGS the improver at hopefully long odds."

Selections - 1, 8, 2
1 67653 Klever Warrior     App T See-3 S Baertschiger 3 43 59.0 3.25
Did it tough wide last start so should appreciates better gate and right in this.
2 25807 Marine Park     M Ewe-1 D Kok 7 42 58.5 8.00
Last run better than the result and gives this a shake on best form.
3 3*969 Above Reach     Th Koh-2 D Koh 5 41 58.0 100
No.
4 06716 Super Star     App Ws Chan-4 L Khoo 4 40 57.5 8.00
Goes OK on his day but some risk given all six career wins on the Poly.
5 94765 Greystoke     M Kellady-1 S Baertschiger 11 39 57.0 10
Maiden who worked home well enough last start to include in exotics.
6 33*80 Royal Brat     App R Shafiq-1 D Hill 10 39 57.0 5.00
Never involved last start but more than capable of running a very forward race.
7 2497* Sea Of Love     App Z Zuriman-2 L Laxon 6 37 56.0 10
Maiden who showed last start he goes OK on the turf and can follow.
8 67896 Incredible Hulk     App H Syafiq-4 J O'hara 9 36 55.5 12
Didnt show a lot last start but this race should suit his swooping style and can win.
9 *9700 Radiant Roi     M Zaki-1 S Chua 1 33 54.0 33
Struggled of late but cheeky run expected from the ace with Zaki.
10 02099 Three Kings     App Tk Barnabas-4 J O'hara 12 31 53.0 12
Ignore recent poor form as this trip suits and improves lengths.
11 30*56 Atiamuri     App K A'isisuhairi-1 L Laxon 2 27 51.0 12
In-and-out runner but showed enough last start to follow.
12 40007 Triple Goals     App Wl Tan-3 Zl Mok 13 22 50.0 20
Not a mile away last start but need to show his best.

No.
14 74323 Chengdu Warrior E2   Unfixed D Koh 8 27 51.0 10
In-form and getting back onto the turf wont hurt.

 

RACE 9: KRANJI STAKES C (SET WEIGHTS) - 1200M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 17:00 PRIZE MONEY: S$80000

Larry says, "It really does look a case of how short with RAISE NO DOUBT and hopefully how far if you back him. After a perfect three-from-three to start his Singapore career, the 3YO looks extremely well-placed in Kranji Stakes C company to knock in win number four which would more than frank his good - albeit maiden - juvenile form from Australia. Who runs second? GATO NEGRO had excuses last start when he finished on late behind MYCAPTAINOBLIVIOUS. Apprentice "Willy" Tan stays on-board and if he gets a trouble free run from the wide gate, he is in the mix. MARSEILLE ROULETTE was extremely disappointing with support last start but if you could make excuses, he is also worth another look and on best form would be some hope. Throw in HAMMER DOWN, LOYAL FRIENDS and NATURE IS NATURE with SWEET LODGE the closer at odds."

No. Last 5 Horse Name EA Gear Jockey Trainer Bar Rtg Wt Odds
Selections - 2, 5, 7
1 185*7 Greenstone     App T See-3 P Shaw 10 75 59.5 20
Winkers on, handy claim and appreciates company but might need longer.
2 111 Raise No Doubt     J Powell L Dragon 1 71 58.0 1.60
Won well as odds-on pop last start and no reason he keeps the unbeaten run going.
3 37279 Hammer Down     App H Syafiq-4 Rb Marsh 8 70 58.0 20
Disappointing last start but should go well this company with turf in his favour.
4 59779 Nature Is Nature     App K A'isisuhairi-1 S Burridge 7 66 56.5 12
Back in trip after poor run but worth another look on ability.
5 72995 Gato Negro     App Wl Tan-3 Hw Tan 9 64 55.0 10
Excuses not to be in the mix last start and keeps the favourite honest at odds.
6 44356 Loyal Friends     I Saifudin J O'hara 5 63 55.0 12
Honest and a must for exotics.
7 31898 Marseille Roulette     A Munro H Takaoka 2 63 55.0 6.00
Very disappointing with heavy support last start and have to take on trust.
8 62*70 Sweet Lodge     N Juglall S Burridge 4 63 55.0 20
Back in trip a concern but will pass a few late so can include in exotics.
9 818*0 Good Loouken     Cw Brown L Dragon 3 59 53.5 20
Appreciates first-up run but should need easier.
10 34338 Cheetah     I Santana Hw Tan 6 51 52.0 33
Needs easier and longer.

 

RACE 10: CLASS 4 - 1600M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 17:30 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "Hopefully this race is set up for the swoopers as most of the main hopes will be coming from the rear and it should make for an exciting finish. MAREA NEGRO and DRAGON G should ensure the race is run at a good clip and with this in mind on the Long Course D, NEW YORK CITY should get his chance to break through. The former Malaysian 4YO arrived in Singapore with three wins under his belt from 19 starts and has shown plenty under the care of Laurie Laxon at three Kranji starts. He does get well back, so the wide gate is not a concern and he could be the best of the swoopers. PANAMA CITY has won two of his last three and picks himself especially given his last win was this company. He gets some 6kg extra but a horse worth following. SUPER VOICE showed enough with blinkers on last start to follow from a better gate and for value, keep SACRED CITY safe as he will go well in races like this. ZAC SUGGESTION will also be in the swooping brigade and warrants respect."

No. Last 5 Horse Name EA Gear Jockey Trainer Bar Rtg Wt Odds
Selections - 3, 1, 2
1 47141 Panama City     App K A'isisuhairi-1 Zl Mok 7 58 57.0 3.00
Up 6kg for good win this Class but every chance.
2 13185 Super Voice     M Nunes M Freedman 3 58 57.0 10
Hit the line well when blinkers added over 1400m last start and right in this from a good gate.
3 41232 New York City     A Munro L Laxon 11 55 55.5 3.00
Continues to storm home and just miss and obviously in the mix here.
4 61050 Stanzout     App Z Zuriman-2 Rb Marsh 2 54 55.0 20
Had a chequered run last start when blinkers went on but worth another look at odds.
5 05154 Zac Suggestion     L Allpress M Walker 6 53 54.5 12
Another that gets back and runs on and can finish in the winning mix.
6 57344 Sacred City     Th Koh-2 M Yusof 8 52 54.0 20
Start looked costly last time out and looks a solid each-way hope at odds.
7 449*8 Dragon G     D Beasley C Brown 12 51 53.5 33
Blinkers back on but might need longer and easier.
8 39890 Spinning Success     I Santana M Clements 1 51 53.5 33
Recent form reads just fair but competitive on his day.
9 45*46 What's Dat     Cw Brown C Brown 9 50 53.0 8.00
Two career wins over 1200m on the poly but in the mix on good recent form.
10 62193 Jackpot     E Aslam-1 B Dean 5 49 52.5 12
Showed enough last start to keep safe with light weight.
11 51666 Marea Negro     M Zaki-1 H Takaoka 4 49 52.5 20
Maiden win this trip and cheeky run expected.
12 86997 Jappanella     B Vorster L Laxon 10 44 50.0 33
Might wait for easier company.

 

RACE 11: CLASS 4 - 1200M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 18:00 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "An interesting race with a newcomer in GRAND SEVEN SEAS looking good enough at the trials to play a part and obviously the tote will be a good guide on the former Japanese geldings winning chances. The tote will also be a good guide on HIDDEN ART who made his Singapore debut earlier this month and gives every indication he improves for the outing. And again, the tote will give us some indication whether or not LESOTHO PROMISE bounces back after a poor run but a recent trial suggests he does with blinkers on first-time. But the horse they all have to beat is ARROWHEAD. The 3YO gelding backed-up a nice enough maiden victory with a very strong win in KSD company and he will be hard to beat on a repeat of that effort. Throw in CODIGO back in his winning grade with some solid form under his belt and down in the weights, ALAN could win a race like this without surprising. Do your best!"

Selections - 3, 4, 10
1   Grand Seven Seas     M Nunes D Koh 2 61 57.0 8.00
Former Japanese galloper who looked OK late at recent trial and could show up in this company. Watch market.
2 43429 Royal Tudor     App Z Zuriman-2 Rb Marsh 13 61 57.0 20
Disappointing first-up but recent trial again good enough to keep safe.
3 93611 Arrowhead     D Beasley M Freedman 6 59 56.0 2.80
Backed up maiden win with a very strong KSD victory. Hard to beat.
4 64646 Codigo     App K A'isisuhairi-1 S Burridge 10 59 56.0 5.00
Always in the mix and drop to winning Class could see a result.

Disappointing last start and might be looking for further.
6 36680 Benji's Rule     App Y Ruzaili-4 S Gray 11 57 55.0 50
Not the worst but might wait for easier company and perhaps blinkers.

Resuming after a good run of form over longer and could show up fresh.
8 8 Hidden Art     L Allpress B Dean 12 56 54.5 20
Appreciates Singapore debut and should improve.
