RACE 1: MAIDEN - 1700M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 18:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "A solid maiden to start the meeting with at least four horses ready to win on recent form. At the top of the weights SUPER JOE heads the list. The 3Y0 gets blinkers back after finishing second on the turf over 2200m in KSD company and expect him to be doing best work on the line in what is a very suitable race. Likewise, DOUBLE JEOPARDY has his foot well and truly on the till and gets his chance after drawing beautifully in gate 3. The form from his last start close-up second placing has held up in nice enough Class 4 company (Singsurat) and he might even start favourite. Of the others that are due, ZENZERO had excuses last start and has certainly showed enough at the races to follow as is PURE WHITE and the consistent GENERAL CONATUS."

RACE 2: RESTRICTED MAIDEN (2 AND 3 YEAR OLD) (WEIGHT FOR AGE) - 1100M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 18:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$75000

Larry says, "Not a lot of depth in this Restricted Maiden and it may even be a race in two between GUILTY PLEASURES and BULLET. Both showed enough when blinkers were added last start and both will win sooner than later. Not much separates the two and while BULLET didn't miss by much at his last start, GUILTY PLEASURES could be the improver with that run with blinkers under his belt. He was a bit keen on that occasion so the experience could count for plenty and 1100m on the Poly could be what he needs given some nice trial form. As mentioned BULLET didn't miss by much last time out and will be in this finish. Only two newcomers appeal on trial form and the market will be a good guide on the likes of SEASONS PALACE and GANNA while MIRACLE MAN might be one to watch at long odds given he had excuses last start and resumes here from gate 1 with an upgrade to blinkers."

RACE 3: CLASS 4 - 1600M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 19:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "The form for this race is simple enough; put a line through ZAC BENEVOLENT and keep the rest safe as all can win. So obviously value will play a part in our punting selections on race-day with the likes of DANNY and REIDEL likely to be good each-way options given they both come off shockers. A couple of shockers in DANNY's case but Froggy Newitt on-board in what is a suitable race and grade has him under notice. Another at value could be YES BABA who also comes off a below par performance. In his favour is the trip, surface and company so look out for an improved performance with a tongue-tie added. But it is his stablemate, MAJESTIC MOMENTS who is the one to beat. The 3YO looks smarter than a few and looks well-placed over the mile on the Poly after a strong recent trial. Do your best!"

RACE 4: INITIATION (HORSES NOT WON A RACE IN 2YRS PRIOR TO NOMINATION DATE & NOT HAD > 8 STARTS IN SIN / MSIA) (4 YEAR OLD AND BELOW) (WEIGHT FOR AGE) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 19:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$65000

Larry says, "BATTLE HORSE did more than enough at his race debut to think he improves for the outing and can win this Initiation. Matt Kellady - who is riding in good form - stays on and from the better gate he should have no excuses and could even make every post a winner. FLAMBOYANT is another horse with race experience that is due. He placed first-up after a spell and like BATTLE HORSE, should be improved for the outing and right in this. Of the newcomers, AMI ELEVEN and WINNING CAUSE should both debut well. AMI ELEVEN has had plenty of trials and his last effort good enough to think he could give this a shake. Two at odds to keep safe are BLACK LABEL and PUERTO COLONIA who both had excuses last start."

RACE 5: CLASS 5 - 1100M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 20:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "No point in glossing over the fact that this race is a shocker. So much so that a horse that hasn't placed in nine starts since winning back in May last year gets the on-top nod. And BINGO was his name-O. The 8YO does however drop to Class 5, gets Michael Rodd and is having his first run for a new stable so he could easily show his best and expect him to be flying late if on-song. Also in his favour is most the others with winning hopes are very lowly rated including ZAC STAR DESTROYER, SPICY CAT, PRINCETON, GOOD CHILD and POWERPAC with LUCKY COME and VON SNIZEL also in the winning mix."

RACE 6: CLASS 5 - 1800M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 20:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "While a couple of maidens look due and certainly well-placed to knock in their first win, a Class dropper in BIGCAT RHAPSODY could be the one to beat. The well-bred but under-performed 6YO has won twice in Singapore in KSD company on this track (1700m and 1900m) and while not really threatening of late, he should grow a leg in Class 5 and show up (hopefully at odds). The two maidens mentioned - GOLDEN JADE and CHI LIN - both look like winning this preparation with the latter retaining the services of Munro which could be a pointer. Throw in AGELESS and GRAND PARIS but really hard to be confident in this race."

RACE 7: OPEN BENCHMARK 83 - 1700M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 21:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$100000

Larry says, "It's well documented that BOURBON GOLDMAN has yet to win past 1200m but given he looked a good thing beaten last start over this trip, he gets his chance. Zuriman and his 2kg claim replace Nunes and with a bit of luck from the widest gate, he can win this. In his favour is that the speed in the race - GOODPACK - has drawn just inside him in gate 8 and hopefully everything falls into place for young Zuriman. TAFFETAS on the other hand has drawn ideally in 1. The mare has been in good form of late and looks well-placed back over a mile on the Poly after racing against Zac Spirit last start over 1400m. IN FACT is also well-placed in this company and his form obviously holds up here while GOODPACK will be the one to run down and should be respected."

RACE 8: KRANJI STAKES C (SET WEIGHTS) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 21:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$80000

Larry says, "On a day that would have seen some average races run and won, this Kranji Stakes C looks an absolutely beauty with some very nice types to do battle. In fact it's hard to know where to start but a horse undefeated on this surface - SUPER WINNER - looks as good as place to start as any. The 3YO has drawn wide but given his three good wins on this surface, he could just be one out of the box on the Poly. GOOD NEWS goes better than OK on this surface as well. His five career wins have all been on the Poly and he must go close after a nice turf effort at his last start. Something has to give price wise so keep an eye on FLAK JACKET resuming, IDEAL GUIDE at his first start on the Poly, last start winner EAGLE STORM and the first emergency, RUAPEHU. The field has depth so go wide in exotics."

RACE 9: CLASS 4 - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 22:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "Nothing jumps off the page in this Class 4 and as such an progressive type in LIGN EM UP gets a good chance to win at this level. The 4YO hasn't run a bad race on the Poly so will appreciate getting back onto the all-weather and should be hard to beat (with support) with John Powell up from gate 4. BEST NINE looks the obvious danger as he guns for a hat-trick of wins. Yes, he is up in Class after two Kranji Stakes D wins but given the lack of winning hopes in this race, he is a big show to win with Davey Flores up. Of the rest, BLUE DIAMOND will find this easier than a few runs of late so he has to be respected with the likes of LOUEY VELOCE, DANNY RICARDO, CONGO ZANDOR, SUPER EIGHT and SUNDAY SUN some hope on best form."
