RACE 1: KRANJI STAKES D (SET WEIGHTS) - 1100M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 18:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$38000

Larry says, "An interesting KSD with BEST NINE looking well-placed to make it back-to-back wins and a couple of novice hoops who gets their chance on some nice enough types in FATKID WANDERER and LION MASTER. Y Salim claims 4kg on FATKID WANDERER and while the horse did look to run a tad greenly when asked last start, he was right in the thick on that finish and goes mighty close if he goes straight late. WS Chan claims 3kg off LION MASTER and given he probably leads and had excuses last start not to finish a lot closer, he could be hard to pass late and might get out to value. BEST NINE won too well not to be the benchmark though and Flores' experience will count for plenty. The maiden at the top of the weights - MINGS MAN - showed more than enough last start behind POWER LIN to follow with Nunes a significant booking (especially given the inexperienced hoop on our top pick). CASH DOT COM looks back in form so keep safe."

RACE 2: RESTRICTED MAIDEN (2 AND 3 YEAR OLD) (WEIGHT FOR AGE) - 1200M COURSE B (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 19:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$75000

Larry says, "A very strong Restricted Maiden with five or so horses ready to win and all should have supporters in the betting ring. As it stands, two horses that come into this with strong recent trials under their belts in GUILTY PLEASURES and SAND BANK come under notice. GUILTY PLEASURES is resuming and gets blinkers on for the first time at the races so his easy trial (late) is a very good pointer. SAND BANK was supported heavily on debut and while he didn't win, his run and trial good enough to follow. Of the others that can win without surprising, STORM TROOPER picks himself on what was a very good debut and WHISPERINTHEWIND looks a promising type that plays a part late. MIGHTY GLORY resuming and PUERTO COLONIA on what was a surprising debut two others to keep safe with an eye on the market for the rest."

RACE 3: OPEN BENCHMARK 67 - 1100M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 19:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "SNITZEL SPIRIT could be a very good thing here. Although not racing on the all-weather track, the 3YO gelding showed more than enough at a first preparation that netted three wins and two places in five starts. His last start placing was behind Affleck in the Group 3 Magic Millions 3YO Championship and given his trial form, he should be extremely hard to beat first-up after a spell with gate 1 a bonus. Who keeps him honest? BLACK FIERY won well in Class 4 company last start and that effort good enough to go close here as does the honest MEDIA CAPTAIN who is racing in fine order this campaign. BLUE DIAMOND is better than his recent two runs show on paper and the others would have to be at their very best to win."

RACE 4: CLASS 5 - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 20:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "This is not a strong Class 5 race and on form you can narrow the winning hopes down to SUPER CAPTAIN and BANKERS CALL. Both horses are in form and have a recent win under their belt and not much separates the pair on paper. So looking for an edge, SUPER CAPTAIN gets the nod after drawing gate 2. His regular hoop, R Rueven, should get a nice sit or even dictate terms if nothing wants to lead and looks every chance. BANKERS CALL has Nunes and expect a very positive ride from the leading hoop after narrowly going down after jumping from a similar alley last start. Of the rest it may pay to keep CASSIS OOLONG safe given the jockey reported excuses last start and he will win races like this when right with both Yusof emergencies likely to go well if they get a start."

RACE 5: KRANJI STAKES C (SET WEIGHTS) - 1800M COURSE B (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 20:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$80000

Larry says, "IN FACT impressed at two runs at Group level and looks the only one the punters will want back in more suitable company. With a heavier weight to carry, his recent winning jockey - John Powell - goes back on and the combination of the hoop and company should see a win. His main danger looks to be a handy Yusof 3YO in SMART LAD. The gelding won very well under Farrick Tan last start (in what was a handy pick-up ride) and the 3kg claimer will be hoping to show he is the man for the job. JUSTICE WORLD wasn't far behind SMART LAD last start when blinkers went on and probably had excuses not to finish closer. He gets Nunes and could be the value runner. Throw a blanket over the rest for exotics."

RACE 6: CLASS 5 - 1800M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 21:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "We like to think that Restricted Maiden company is better than most Class 5's so with that in mind, SINGSURAT gets his chance. The 3YO has had plenty of chances - nine starts to be fair - but given he has had support of late and is having his first start in this company, he can break through. He has a wide draw to overcome but Michael Rodd is in good form and he must go close. Another maiden in DOUBLE JEOPARDY also looks ready to break his maiden status. The 4YO has his foot well and truly on the till and probably starts favourite given his good form including last start in this company. The others with winning hopes are all similarly weighted with SCHILTRON, GRAND PARIS and CAN'T TOUCH ME all in with an each-way show."

RACE 7: KRANJI STAKES C (SET WEIGHTS) - 1200M COURSE B (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 21:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$80000

Larry says, "THESE STREETS resumes in what looks like very suitable company after a tilt at Group glory and might be hard to beat. His winning form before what was solid run in the EW Barker was very good and given he comes into this with a very nice trial under his belt, he could be a good thing. In his favour is the fact nothing really jumps off the page although EAGLE STORM had enough excuses last start to think he gives this a shake if THESE STREETS isn't on his game. In EAGLE STORM's favour is his consistency and with any sort of luck in running from an awkward gate, he goes mighty close. Throw the blanket over the rest but HW Tan has two horses in WHITE COFFEE and SICHUAN RULER that play a part at odds."

RACE 8: CLASS 4 - 1200M COURSE B (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 22:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "JIMMY REA seems to go better than most and his trainer Mark Walker looks to have found a very suitable Class 4 to continue his winning run. In fact after a sighter (with excuses) at his Singapore debut, he has looked the goods winning at his subsequent two runs and very hard to beat at this level with Nunes retaining the ride. They will jump out of the trees to back him though which suggests a couple of nice types in BARNATO and the former Argentinean ODE TO JOY could get out to each-way value. ODE TO JOY in particular trialed like he is set to make an impression at his Singapore debut and has to be kept very safe. Michael Rodd takes the ride and after two wins from four starts back in his native land, he looks well placed in Class 4. BARNATO has won twice from nine career starts and his recent trial suggests he can add to that total. SING ROULETTE and INVINCIBLE GOLD the other two that have winning hopes."
