RACE 1: CLASS 5 (1) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 18:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "A Class 5 over 1200m on the poly with the major chances being some gnarled veterans of Singapore racing. QUALITASE has gone 29 starts since his last win bit has been placed at his past four outings at this level, two on the polytrack; from the ace and with a claim for Willie Tan, he will never get a better chance. Tadhg O’Shea is yet to break through in Singapore but gets his chance on the 10YO ARAPUNI fronting up for start number 96; he was just nutted last start and will give it his best shot once again. AFFIRMATION has been disappointing at recent outings but knows how to win a has Nunes to help him over the line. Amongst the others VOLKOV will go forward and should give some cheek, PEGASUS VICTORY also has speed but 1200m can test with ZAC COMMAND and GRAND VITESS likely to be closing late."

RACE 2: RESTRICTED MAIDEN (2+3YO) (WEIGHT FOR AGE) (1) - 1200M COURSE A (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 18:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$75000

Larry says, "A small field of seven runners compete in a 1200m Restricted Maiden on turf. Most of these have shown something either at the trials or in races so a market watch is strongly advised. The most interesting runner is the Theo Keiser-trained SEBAS who is by speed sire Exceed and Excel out a top-race mare in Libidinous. He is well drawn, has Harry Kassim and trialed well enough to suggest a good debut. However, LUCKY GIANT was supported on debut where he looked solid. He appreciates the run and might be the testing material. Likewise, ART OF WAR has runs under his belt and has shown enough to win a race like this. LA FONTANA is another nicely bred type being a half brother to top galloper WALKING OR DANCING. He was green on debut but with Pat Shaw polish, should be an improver. AGELESS is a brother to EISENHEIM, he ran last on debut in April but has had two trials since and Nooresh Juglall jumps aboard."

RACE 3: NOVICE (SET WEIGHTS) - 1200M COURSE A (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 19:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$75000

Larry says, "Another small field compete in a Novice event over 1200m on turf. EXCEED EXPRESS won well over 1000m on the poly on debut before taking on tougher 2YO company. He gets in well at the weights and with Manoel Nunes up, should be hard to run down. ORCHARD ROAD also has speed and the lightly raced 5YO mare scored well in Maiden company last start; if she handles the turf, she will be hard to beat. OZYMANDIAS ran 4th in a BM67 last start; that is harder than any of these have attempted and he should be closing late. MAPLE MEMORY is an interesting runner. He won over 1200m on debut at Chantilly in France and has placed thrice since, his trials have been fair and with John Powell taking the mount for Leticia Dragon, a market watch is recommended. BOB is also resuming and could race well fresh."

RACE 4: RESTRICTED MAIDEN (2+3YO) (WEIGHT FOR AGE) (2) - 1200M COURSE A (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 19:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$75000

Larry says, "Another Restricted Maiden over 1200m on turf and of those we have seen, none look better than average so anything could win this and “watch the market” is the mantra. REAL SAGA has been round the mark at recent poly outings, he is nicely drawn and if he handles the turf, should put in another honest effort. SUPER JOY put in his best effort to date over 1400m last start; he drops back to 1200m but the field is not strong and he should race well again. LA QUINTA is resuming, by speed sire Nicconi he had support and showed speed but faded on debut; he has had a couple of quiet trials – watch market. MATADOR has been thereabouts at his two outings and with Juglall taking the mount should make his presence felt. DYLAN with blinkers on and INVINCIBLE GOLD are potential improvers. Of the debutants OCEAN MAGIC and XZUBERANCE look likely types – watch for support. SUVARNABHUMI improves at odds."

RACE 5: KRANJI STAKES C (SET WEIGHTS) - 1100M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 20:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$80000

Larry says, "A KSC over 1100m on the poly with several speedy and consistent performers involved. CASH ADVANCE is racing in great heart and looking at a hat-trick. With the 59kg, Shane Baertschiger has elected to go for a 2kg claim with Zuriman and he should have him on the speed all the way. He beat APPRECIATION last start who in turn beat HAPPY MONEY last time they met. Both horses are consistent and should in the first few all the way. The 3Kg claim for Willie Tan will help HAPPY MONEY. MY SHINE is another honest fellow who trialed well recently and from the inside barrier, Manoel Nunes should give him a gun run. Of the rest, DRAGON WALK ran a bold race in Class 3 last outing, CODIGO broke through in Class 4 and MAPLE STAR with the ace has been thereabouts at recent starts and will be closing late."

RACE 6: CLASS 5 - 1000M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 20:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "The tote may be a good guide to what could be a very good thing in this Class 5 sprint with INFERMO. The maiden only has one placing to his name from some seven career starts but his recent trial with blinkers was excellent and he could just be too good for this motley crew. He has speed and 1000m has always looked his caper but head-gear at his first attempt in Class 5 looks the winning combination. The usual suspects of SPECTA DILEMMA, FUKU'S PET and BLUE LAGOON all look in good enough for to keep INFERMO honest and again, the market will be a good guide to see if there is any stable confidence on the trio. One that might improve at odds is MAGIC OCEAN who looks in poor form but gets a significant drop back to Class 5 company so one to keep safe."

RACE 7: CAUSEWAY CLASSIC STAKES GROUP 3 (3+YO) (SET WEIGHTS) (RIDER ALLOWANCES NOT PERMITTED) - 1800M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 21:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$150000

Larry says, "This race looks extremely tough for punters with winning hopes from top to bottom. Starting at the top, LIZARRE has 59.5kg to carry but in his favour is he has one solid race under his belt after a huge fourth in the Singapore Airlines International Cup and gets to jump from gate 2. Down in the weights, ONE RAR has won his last three starts on the Poly and while up in Class, 52kg looks a fair weight and CANNON HILL won this race last year so it would pay to keep him safe as well. Plenty of other winning hopes and GOLIATH has drawn badly in 12 but is a super Poly horse so improves lengths on his last two starts and should start favourite. SUPER NOVA and NANDOWRA could provide good each-way value but another that could run a huge race at odds is the veteran, STREET LEGAL. The 9YO has looked solid this campaign as he steps up in distance and has certainly shown enough at some trials to think he can win at this level. And in an open race, his value does look tempting with Davey Flores up."

RACE 8: CLASS 5 (2) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 21:55 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "While you can't expect too much in a Division 2 Class 5, this field is very weak and the market should be a very good guide. In saying that there are more than a few unreliables so play with care and go wide in exotics. As it stands, SUPER CAPTAIN looks due and his form line should more than hold up here. He has drawn gate 1 - that always helps - and with a 3kg Willy Tan claim, he is hard to beat. Those also in the winning mix on recent form include the maiden, PROSPERITY STAR and RED SENSATION who placed at long odds in a similar affair last start. THE GIANT can disappoint but has shown glimpses so pay to keep safe and BARGAIN BID will appreciate dropping back in trip and would be right in this on a good day. Hopefully SUPER CAPTAIN shows his best, otherwise it will get ugly."

RACE 9: OPEN BENCHMARK 67 - 1200M COURSE A (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 22:25 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "Tough race to finish the night and while EAGLE STORM doesn't win out of turn, he is in very good form and goes close again in this. The 5YO has only won twice from some 10 career starts but with six second placings also on the CV, he looks a horse to follow. John Powell goes on and it may be a case of whoever beats him, wins. TWO M AND M could be the horse that poses the biggest threat after a nice hit-out at a recent trail. Like EAGLE STORM, TWO M AND M doesn't win out of turn but looks due and in-form jockey in Juglall looks a good booking. There could be some value on offer and pay to keep the likes of SHIPPING FORECAST, SPEED DEMON and the honest COOL CAT safe with SOON YI the one to watch late if race run to suit."
