RACE 1: MAIDEN - 1100M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 18:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "A very interesting race to open what is a strong weekend of racing with some horses likely to improve on poor recent form after some nice trial indicators. In fact four or so horses look like they can win this on recent trial form and the tote may be a good guide on the chances of SUPER JOY, IRREPRESSIBLE, EXCITING PROSPECT and STATE GENERAL. Of the four, SUPER JOY resuming certainly showed enough at his trial to think he plays a big part in this with gate 1 a factor. Likewise, IRREPRESSIBLE resumes after a poor run of form but looked good with blinkers at the trials and that could do the trick. But FULL MEANING could be the one to beat. The 4YO did well in Class 4 last start and has to appreciate being back in maiden company with Munro up from gate 6. Throw in RAINBOW STAR (also after a nice trial) and go wide in exotics."

RACE 2: RESTRICTED MAIDEN (WEIGHT FOR AGE) - 1000M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 18:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$75000

Larry says, "RAZZOSTELLA could be very hard to beat in this Restricted Maiden Poly sprint. The 3YO has shown speed to lead and placed at two career starts over 1200m (turf) and given he worked hard on both occasions from wide gates, he should appreciate the better alley and 1000m. One that could test him at odds is IMPERIAL BOY. Now trained by Mike Clements, IMPERIAL BOY failed at two starts in 2014 but his recent trial form with blinkers suggests he grows a proverbial leg and a win would not surprise. Of the rest with winning chances, ROAN RANGER has looked comfortable at the trials to seriously consider with FAST RICH and JOE SWIPER also in the mix."

RACE 3: CLASS 4 - 1700M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 19:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "A typical Class 4 Poly event over two turns where there are plenty of horses suited the trip and track so value could be on offer. Barriers will play a part too and as it stands, BRAD jumps from the ace so must be respected on form. He did to tough enough last start from a bad gate to think a good run nearer the fence has him the one to beat. BRING MONEY HOME is another that appeals. He also gets to jump from a nice gate (2) and more importantly gets back onto the Poly so he should have every chance. RED SAPPHIRE and IKING are two others that also appreciate the switch to Poly. Pat Shaw also plays a part with LA FONTANA and SUPER JOE with blinkers added while PATERSON ROAD another to keep safe."

RACE 4: CLASS 5 - 1000M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 19:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "While the good form comes from some regular Class 5 conveyances in CASSIS OOLONG, KING OF KOON and the emergency, GOOD CHILD, the recent Class droppers may be the one's to watch. The MIGHTY THOR had issues last start when having a start in Class 5 and given he had respiratory distress on that occasion, he gets another chance. ALL MY WAY has had two starts this campaign in Class 5 with excuses (stirrup) last start. With plenty of pace expected in this, he will be flying late if on-song. Others that could win if having a good day include HARDEN UP, GYPSY MAGIC and the maiden, LUCKY SIX."

RACE 5: CLASS 4 (2) - 1100M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 20:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "The start in this race will tell us plenty with two horses at the top of the weights in EATONS GOLD and ECLAIR SENSATION both a fair chance to miss the kick so luck and race tempo will play a role. EATONS GOLD is resuming after a year off and of the two, the 6YO could race handier from gate 6. If he does, he could easily have enough in the tank to win first-up in Class 4 and should be value. ECLAIR SENSATION gets Nunes and with winkers and a tongue-tie off, he will be the testing material late but expect support. CUSTODIAN could also be supported resuming after showing plenty at his first campaign with blinkers added. SING ROULETTE has the pace to lead and should be thereabouts at the business end and hopefully provides each-way value. BRINGITHOME and the second emergency, DUTY FREE, two others to keep safe."

RACE 6: KRANJI STAKES D (SET WEIGHTS) - 1900M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 20:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$38000

Larry says, "Two horses that find themselves back over a suitable trip in WINNING STAR and ALASAMO are well worth a second look in this race. Both have been over sprint trips at their last two starts and hopefully punters miss that fact and they offer value. WINNING STAR also gets his recent winning hoop in Alan Munro back on-board and from gate 4, the pair must go close. ALASAMO gets blinkers/pacifiers back although his hoop, Corey Brown, will need some luck after drawing wide. The two others in the race that can win are the maiden ZENZERO and the horse that broke his maiden status when beating ZENZERO last start in FOREVER BEST. The two stablemates should race well again but expect ZENZERO to be the one that gets support."

RACE 7: NOVICE (SET WEIGHTS) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 21:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$75000

Larry says, "A wide open race with many hopes but winning form is good form and MORALES gets the nod. True, he won on debut where most the others have performed well at this level but the effort over 1000m was excellent and he can easily step up to 1200m and win again. His biggest danger could be KAM'S COMET who also won like a good thing at his race debut. And given he had excuses at his second race start and gets back on the Poly, he might start favourite and be hard to beat. The blanket goes over BRAHMS AND LIST, GREAT SUN, MR FANTASTIC (odds) and GUILTY PLEASURES who can all win on best form. Go even wider in exotics."

RACE 8: OPEN BENCHMARK 83 - 1000M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 21:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$100000

Larry says, "While the two top rated horses in PIONEER SEVEN and ASTROSTAR appeal in this company, it may pay to stick with horses in form with GHOST leading that charge. The 6YO obviously has issues - only seven starts in Singapore a testament to that fact - but when right he goes better than most. Also in his favour is that he gets back onto the Poly - his winning surface in Singapore - after a top turf run an due could be hard to beat. On the minimum weights two last start winners in SECRET MISSION and TOU SHOU BRIGHT also appeal. In particular TOU SHOU BRIGHT looks a very promising type and happy to follow with just 50kg and SECRET MISSION might just like this winning caper and worth following. As mentioned, PIONEER SEVEN and ASTROSTAR would win this if in form so keep safe."

RACE 9: CLASS 4 (1) - 1100M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 22:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "A good race to finish the card and while CASTOR comes into this with a poor run under his belt, there is a lot to like about the 3YO and happy to have him on top. The poor run was in 3YO Group company and it might pay to forgive the effort as he placed behind Affleck at his previous two runs and gets back onto the Poly where he is two-from-two. He will need to be on song though with plenty of other hopes including last start winner, CLIP THE TICKET. The 3YO goes better than most and while he has a wide draw to overcome here, he must be respected with R Shafiq resting the ride. INVINCIBLE MAN is another 3YO that will be better than Class 4 company and probably starts favourite with KAISER, LUCKY DAPPER and BLUE DIAMOND all with winning hopes. Keep the emergency - BELLUS WONDER - safe is he gets a start."
