PREVIEW SINGAPORE FRIDAY 8 May 2015

 

Most race-goers will be counting the sleeps until the International races next weekend but for those who can’t wait, the stand-alone Friday card looks an interesting one.

One race that may tell us a thing or two about the upcoming Group 2YO races is the Magic Millions National Yearling Sale Open Stakes over 1000m (race 3).

With the winners of the previous legs being rested for the “big dance” next week, the race looks open with only FINE CHOICE coming into the race with any race form.

He placed at his debut and while he does look the type that will appreciate 1200m and beyond, he looks the benchmark with Manny Nunes from gate 3.

A horse that bombed on debut but not without a chance to make amends is NOVA EAGLE.

The Aussie-bred was heavily supported at his only race start where he faded badly after racing keenly throughout.

The blinkers go on and given the money that was on him at debut, he might be better than a few of these and could sneak out to value on that one poor run.

As you would expect there are a number of newcomers that will be hoping to win this with the possibility of backing up in the Golden Horseshoe next Friday.

ALOHA has trailed well enough to give this a shake with Froggy Newitt and gate 1 a good combination with DRAGON RUGY, EAGLE SOAR and ONE MORE ACHIEVER all showing enough at the jump-outs to win on debut.

Seven more sleeps.

Best Bets; (JUBILATION race 1, win), (NOVA EAGLE race 3, value) and (CHEETAH race 6, value).

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

Please note the odds listed are "reference odds" only.

RACE 1: MAIDEN - 1200M (POLY) TIME: 18:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "Can narrow this race down to four - perhaps five at a pinch - so hopefully a good race for exotic punters. Of the quartet that should fight out the finish, JUBILATION looks the most obvious and should be hard to hold out after drawing gate 1. In saying that John Powell will need to be on his toes early as the 4YO can be slowly away but all things considered, he is the one to beat. FAST RICH resumed with a solid if unspectacular placing but he will improve for the outing and has also drawn favourably in gate 3 so should have every chance. DELUGE just missed last start and while back from 1400m (turf) has to be respected as does SUPER JOY who showed last start his recent good trial form was no fluke. SUN EMPIRE and YOUNG LADY (at odds) the only other two to keep safe."

14 57077 Real Hero E2   Unfixed Hw Tan 7 43 55.5 33
Also thereabouts last start without threatening but exotics look very best.

 

RACE 2: INITIATION (4 YEAR OLD AND BELOW) (HORSES NOT WON A RACE IN 2YRS PRIOR TO NOMINATION DATE & NOT HAD > 8 STARTS IN SIN / MSIA) (WEIGHT FOR AGE) - 1000M (POLY) TIME: 18:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$65000

Larry says, "Very rarely you get so many newcomers with winning hopes in an Initiation but all four debutantes - KATAGAS, THE JEUNEYMAN, FANTASTIC MAN and NOVA WARRIOR - have shown enough at the trials to win. Of the quartet, it will be hard to go past NOVA WARRIOR on his slick recent trial with blinkers. The 3YO looks ready and Nunes from gate 4 looks a winning combination. FANTASTIC MAN also put in some eye-catching trials and should be fighting fit for his debut. The Choisir gelding gets to jump from gate 3 and Michael Rodd looks a good booking. THE JEUNEYMAN and KATAGAS have both trialed like they will win early in their respective careers and of the raced brigade, MAGIC TO WIN, KAISO and DRAGON BOBO all have to be respected and might even offer value given the depth of the race."

RACE 3: MAGIC MILLIONS NATIONAL YEARLING SALE STAKES OPEN (2 YEAR OLD) (CONDITION WEIGHT) (RIDER ALLOWANCES NOT PERMITTED) - 1000M (POLY) TIME: 19:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$90000 (S$30000 BONUS TO WINNING QUALIFIED HORSE - NO. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12)

Larry says, "The obvious choice in this 2YO race is FINE CHOICE. Not only did the NZ-bred gelding have excuses when running on late to finish behind Kubera Warrior on debut but he gets to jump from gate 3 with Nunes so expect heavy support and he should be thereabouts at the business end. If there was a concern is it that he will be better over 1200m and further when he matures and will be a horse to follow. The not so obvious choice is NOVA EAGLE. Nunes jumps off after the Australian-bred flopped on debut as the odds on pop but blinkers go on and hopefully he settles in running and could be hard to beat if he does (settle) with Munro up. Debutantes that will run very forward races on debut include ALOHA, ONE MORE ACHIEVER, DRAGON RUBY and EAGLE SOAR and obviously the market will be a good guide."

RACE 4: CLASS 4 - 1900M (POLY) TIME: 19:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "This race looks a dead-set raffle with luck in running a big factor and value may be a good option for punters. And while we don't know what the tote will tell us on Friday, you would imagine last start winner ALASAMO and PUSAKA with Nunes up are two winning hopes that will get support. Both can win with probably ALASAMO the one to follow given his strong last start win albeit in slightly easier company. SUPER JOE was value last start and his effort to place after the saddle slipped in running was good. Hopefully he remains at each-way odds and he can win with gate 2 a bonus. IKING is usually value and he gets gate 1 so has to be respected and it will pay to include BLOSSOMS SEQUEL who races sans blinkers at his second run for Laurie Laxon."

RACE 5: KRANJI STAKES D (SET WEIGHTS) (1) - 1200M (POLY) TIME: 20:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$38000

Larry says, "Plenty of winning hopes in this KSD Poly sprint including the two emergencies - GRAND VITESS and ROUGH DANCE - who both have to be considered if they get a start. Of those guaranteed a run, DOUBLE CASH might be one to watch with value a bonus. A winner of four from 31, DOUBLE CASH has been showing more than enough in Class 4 to think this race and company suits with a WS Chan 3kg claim a good move. DRAGON KING also gets a 3kg claim courtesy of Troy See and given what he showed at a recent trial it may pay to ignore his last start failure and have an look each-way. WOW shouldn't need a claim and can turn some solid form into a result with his only winner rider, John Powell, up. XIN TREASURE picks himself back on the Poly after a great run on the turf last start while DREAMCATCHER could also win with luck in running from a wide gate."

RACE 6: CLASS 5 - 1700M (POLY) TIME: 20:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "While you can have a second or third look for something to beat him, READY FORTUNE is the benchmark in this Class 5 slog-fest. A two-time winner on the Poly, the 5YO returned to form last start and given he gets Nunes (who won on him the last time they paired up), he is the one to beat. Those that put up their hands to challenge him are CHEETAH who looks hopeless on form but can go forward and if he does, watch out. WONDERFUL ERA is a maiden who should have won one by now considering the support he gets and GRAND PARIS is usually thereabouts so has to be respected. One at value may be POWERFUL FIGHTER who resumed with a solid run and his subsequent trial was good so keep safe."

RACE 7: CLASS 3 - 1000M (POLY) TIME: 21:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$80000

Larry says, "A good Class 3 over 1000m with plenty of flyers involved. MAC VOLKS is very consistent and will be on the speed throughout. The 4YO won at a rare turf appearance last start and is better suited back on the Poly. BLACK FIERY rarely runs a bad race and from the ace will be hard to run down. EATONS GOLD was strong when resuming and will be finishing better than most. HONEST TRUTH has been weakening on stronger company but on his day ran run a bold race. DESERT FOX is an interesting runner, he has changed stables after disappointing performances last preparation and goes well on the poly. Of the other chances BLUE DIAMOND is up in grade but has the speed to show up and the mare SCRAT resumed with a good effort so she could run on late. CORONET PEAK and LIVELY DRAGON could also show up."

She is suited this grade, gets a 2kg claim for TH Koh and should be prominent throughout. TIP OF BORNEO fought on well in Novice company when resuming; he should race well with the benefit of the 2kg claim for Rueven and the inside alley.

RACE 9: CLASS 4 - 1000M (POLY) TIME: 22:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "A Class 4 over 1000m on the poly closes off the programme. Three progressive types in-form appeal and leading the charge over 1000m is SEBAS. The speedster was outclassed in the Dester 3YO Sprint last start but goes well on the poly and should be hard to pass in this company. INVINCIBLE MAN is in form and with Manoel Nunes up will be prominent throughout - he picks himself. CLIP THE TICKET scored well in this company last start, he rises 3kg but should get a good run throughout and plays a part in the finish. Of the rest, GOLDEN TOMAHAWK lost 3rd on protest last start in Novice company; he has trialled well since and is nicely drawn. DUTY FREE is dropping down in the ratings, he trialled well recently and could be the one closing late. After these the depth drops away though LIM’S AFFECTION who won and was placed at his only two NZ starts bears watching and if the emergency POWER LIN gets a start, he is a consistent fellow."
