PREVIEW SINGAPORE Sunday 11 January 2015

 

Some good races on Sunday and as such some good horses.

 

And hopefully some good punting with RAISE NO DOUBT looking a strong winning hope in race 9 on the card, a Kranji Stakes C dash over 1000m.

 

The 4YO looked a top-liner after winning his first three career starts and while unplaced at his last two, he can get back into the winners circle first-up after a spell with a strong recent trial under his belt.

 

With the speedy HONEST TRUTH in the field the race should be run at a very honest pace and while BAHEN and GATO NEGRO will be thereabouts, RAISE NO DOUBT should have the class to win this.

 

Elsewhere on the card, SOON YI won’t get a better chance to knock in an overdue win in the lucky last - a weak Class 4 over 1200m - and WOW should go very close in race 10 to knock in his second career win.

 

Best Bets; (RAISE NO DOUBT race 9, win), (WOW race 10, win) and (FARRAND race 11, value).

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

RACE 8: MAIDEN (1) - 1600M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 16:25 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "A reasonable Maiden over 1600m with numerous chances. The blinkers go on MR SPIELBERG he was held up and never got clear last start, the journey suits and Manoel Nunes should give him every chance. BRING MONEY HOME does plenty wrong but has more ability than most; Alan Munro gets a chance to give Steven Lam a welcome winner. LA FONTANA battles on well and this distance should suit, he gets his chance to break through. ADIVINO has been battling away over unsuitable distances and in higher grade, this is much more suitable and he can get in the finish. Most of the rest are battlers though BLAZING SPUR and RIGHT IS RIGHT could show up."

RACE 9: KRANJI STAKES C (SET WEIGHTS) - 1000M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 17:00 PRIZE MONEY: S$80000

Larry says, "A KSC over 1000m in which there will be no shortage of speed. RAISE NO DOUBT was trapped wide last start so pay to ignore that run. His subsequent trial was very good, he should find this easier and be hard to beat. HONEST TRUTH goes fast and with KB Soo up is always hard to beat at this level over this trip. BAHEN placed at his last poly run in this grade, he might prefer slightly longer but should be running on late. BELLWETHER's last win was a BM67 over this distance, if ridden forward he should give some cheek from the gate. CALIFORNIA EAGLE and GATO NEGRO could show up."

RACE 10: KRANJI STAKES D (SET WEIGHTS) (CLAIMING RIDERS ONLY) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 17:30 PRIZE MONEY: S$38000

Larry says, "A KSD over 1200m for the claiming riders with plenty of chances. WOW led and was caught late (by a good horse in Euro Zone) when resuming; with the experienced Matt Kellady up he will be hard to run down again. Likewise, FATKID WANDERER backed up a maiden win with a nice placing behind a good one (Rathausglockel) and looks well placed here. THANKFULNESS broke through last start and Farrick Tan should have him in the finish of this. ROCK OF AGES fought on in a similar KSD last star, Mohd Firdaus should have him in a prominent slot throughout. UNIQUE ONE surprised in winning a similar affair two starts back and then ran on well in a Class 4, she should be closing late."

RACE 11: CLASS 4 (1) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 18:00 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "An ordinary Class 4 over 1200m finishes things off. SOON YI runs on but can be tardy at the start; if Davey Flores can get him away he will be the hardest to beat. FARRAND is resuming after a short let-up, the blinker/pacifiers come off come, his last win was a KSD over 1100m and he could show up in this weak Class 4. The rider dropped the whip on TWODOLLARMUPPET last start, he has speed and could show up in this weak Class 4. The blinkers come off FOREVER LUCKY, she was crowded and slowly away at her first start for Brian Dean, she could improve. A market watch is advised on the former Malaysian, JACK OF HEARTS who gets the ace and Juglall."
