RACE 8: CLASS 5 - 1100M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 16:25 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "A Class 5 over 1100m with relatively few chances. SUGAR MAN is usually thereabouts and should be handy all the way. DRAGON WALK is far from reliable but put in an improved effort last start when wide throughout; he has had respiratory issues but if right can be in the finish. OASIS SPUR was also caught wide last start and dropped out; he is well drawn here and should get a better run. Of the rest, CHEETAH KING gets a mile out of his ground but can run on late and LUCKY COME also ran on last start after having plenty of excuses in running; he is not the most reliable but could get in the finish with luck and pay to keep very safe."

RACE 9: RDA CUP OPEN (3+YO) (SET WEIGHTS) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 17:00 PRIZE MONEY: S$125000

Larry says, "The RDA Cup over 1200m sees the return of EL PADRINO after his international triumph in Korea and he can rightfully claim the title of Singapore's best international sprinter having won in Dubai as well. His recent trials have been good and he will be hard to beat first-up. HUKA FALLS is backing up after solid poly run last week over 1000m. The 12-time winner is better suited at 1200m and should race well. EL MILAGRO fought on well when resuming on turf in a very strong field; he has a good poly record and should be in the finish. If there is to be a surprise it could be PEACEFUL WARRIOR with pacifiers and tongue tie on. He has been running super races in group company and goes well on the poly so from the good gate, could be the knockout hope. HAPPY MONEY is the other one in top form but is taking on some very smart ones in this and will need everything to go right."

RACE 10: NOVICE (SET WEIGHTS) - 1000M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 17:35 PRIZE MONEY: S$75000

Larry says, "A Novice over 1000m with plenty of speedsters involved. TOP GUN has been run down at both his Kranji starts over 1200m but has plenty of speed and should be well suited at the shorter trip. EVA’S DAY won well at his Singapore debut and should be on the speed throughout while MY LUCKY STRIKE was also impressive when winning his Maiden and he too will be near the lead. GOLDEN TOMAHAWK has been slightly disappointing at last two outings in this grade after a dominant Maiden win; he may sit off the speed and try and come over the top. However, a newcomer called JIMMY REA might just be better than them all. The Kiwi-bred 3YO looked very impressive at his most recent trial and if he has the speed to stay in touch with a few of these, he should have plenty in hand late. Manoel Nunes a very good booking and look for support."

RACE 11: KRANJI STAKES D (SET WEIGHTS) (1) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 18:05 PRIZE MONEY: S$38000

Larry says, "A KSD over 1200m for claiming riders. JOE is better suited here than his last start in Novice company and his only win was at this trip; he should be handy throughout. D’ARTAGNAN's only win was also at this trip and he should also be able to sit just off the pace. BRINGITHOME - yet another whose only win was at this distance on the poly - has drawn the ace and he is the one they will have to catch. In fact his recent efforts have him the one to beat. HONGCHEN put in a good effort last start, he is down in grade and looks well suited in this. Amongst the other chances are RETROSPECT who has been running well on turf and has good previous form on the poly, BIG HEART whose only win was at this trip and SIMPANG who whilst more comfortable in Class 5 can show up in this company."

RACE 12: OPEN BENCHMARK 67 - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 18:35 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "An extremely good BM67 over 1200m closes the programme with a number of class droppers involved. STRAIGHTTOTHEPOINT was just caught in Class 3 last start and has placed twice from three starts on the poly; he is not helped by the gate though he does have Manoel Nunes to steer. LASER STORM ran on for 2nd in this grade last start, he has a good poly record and will be in the finish. RED RIVER ROCK dictated throughout and bolted in last start; he drops 1kg in a slightly tougher grade but should get a good run from the ace and could be hard to beat. MY SHINE has been putting in respectable efforts in higher class races. His last win was on this surface in this grade over 1100m and could get in the finish. GOLDEN MISSION doesn't win often but likes the poly and races well fresh, his recent trial was fair and he could show up. Amongst the others are quality turf horses such as FRAAJILISTIC, GOLD DANCER and OM, they have to be taken on trust on the poly and have struck some proven performers on the surface."
