RACE 8: KRANJI STAKES D (SET WEIGHTS) (1) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 16:25 PRIZE MONEY: S$38000

Larry says, "A KSD over 1200m on the poly and D’ARTAGNAN will enjoy dropping in grade. The 4YO struggled in Class 4 but his last win was in this Class at 1200m and he could be hard to beat if apprentice H Syafiq gets the best out of him. Looking elsewhere, XIN TREASURE rarely wins but always threatens at this level and he should be in the finish. He had excuses last start and this race looks winnable. The blinkers come off BEST NINE who battled on the turf last start but is better suited here. THE MIGHTY THOR is suited this surface and grade, 1200m can find him out but Michael Rodd may be able to nurse him through. In what is a fairly ordinary race GYPSY MAGIC, SAFFIR with blinkers and the resuming HAPPY FOREVER could show up."

RACE 9: OPEN STAKES (3 YEAR OLD AND UPWARDS) (CONDITION WEIGHT) (RIDER ALLOWANCES NOT PERMITTED) - 1200M COURSE A (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 17:00 PRIZE MONEY: S$125000

Larry says, "An Open Stakes over 1200m sees the return of the top sprinter ZAC SPIRIT. And whilst he may need the run, his class will carry him a long way. He is in badly at the race conditions but the fact he carried 58kg when third to Spalato two starts back suggests he can win this. The hardest to beat may be the international quality sprinter EL PADRINO. The 6YO got too far back when resuming but has trialled well sine and will be hard to hold out late. HUKA FALLS looks a monty at the weights but is better on poly although is sure to give a bold sight. He enjoys a significant weight pull over most including HAPPY MONEY who is going for five on end but faces his biggest test here. Amongst the others the speedster GOAL KEEPER and the resuming HOLY EMPIRE could show up."

RACE 10: CLASS 4 (1) - 1400M COURSE A (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 17:35 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "A Class 4 over 1400m on the turf and ALPHA CENTAURI ran on well last start and should be in the finish. Nunes stays on-board and the 5YO is due and gets his chance here. The very honest MY BOY JACK will enjoy being back on the surface and should give a bold sight. KAISER BRIGHT is another who will enjoy being back on the grass and he should be prominent throughout. BLACK MAGIC has speed and will give a sight though 1400m could test. Of the others IMPERIAL FIGHTER got tightened late last start he is suited at the 1400m and MAJESTIC MOMENTS could show up fresh."

RACE 11: OPEN BENCHMARK 67 - 1600M COURSE A (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 18:05 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "A BM67 over 1600m on turf and the talented 3YO SMART LAD returns. He may be tested at this level first-up but he has had several trials and could run a bold race fresh. The blinkers are downgraded to winkers on SKY ELEVEN he only battled last start but drops 3kg and with Manoel Nunes up may appreciate 1600m. Both these horses look weighted to run big races. TO BE REMEMBERED drops in grade and gets back on turf, he usually runs on and will be in the finish. HARDCORE ROCK ran on nicely in Class 4 over 1400m last start and can get in the finish. SPYDER and BOARD WALK are an honest pair of Pat Shaw’s and they could show up."
