RACE 7: MAIDEN - 1400M COURSE B (LC) (TURF) TIME: 16:15 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "A very ordinary Maiden which gives APPELLATION another chance; he ran on well over this distance last start and from the good gate should get a nice run throughout. SUPER JOY raced greenly and was given too much to do last start. His best form is on the poly but if Oscar Chavez gives him a more positive ride, he could be hard to hold out. CHIPS showed some improvement on the poly last start and with Michael Rodd to ride, could show up. In a race with little depth, BEST LIFE is usually running on and THINK PRETTY showed improvement last start and could get in the finish. JOY AND HAPPY ran on fairly last start and the extra distance could suit."

RACE 8: PATRON'S BOWL GROUP 1 (4 YEAR OLD) (SET WEIGHTS) (2ND LEG - SINGAPORE 4YO CHALLENGE) (RIDER ALLOWANCES NOT PERMITTED) - 1600M COURSE B (LC) (TURF) TIME: 16:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$500000

Larry says, "The Patrons Bowl and WAR AFFAIR has dominated Singapore racing since his 2YO days and there is no reason to suggest anything is about to change. He backed up a strong first-up win with a solid if unspectacular win in the Stewards Cup and he should get a good run off the speed in this and be too strong in the straight. QUECHUA is coming back in trip after an excellent run in the SIA Cup and his stablemate MAGNETO has been freshened since being outclassed in the KrisFlyer; they will do their best to keep the favourite honest. HUGHSY could not get close in the Stewards Cup but is unbeaten in three attempts at the mile and could apply some pressure. KNIGHT WAGER picked up the minor prize in the Stewards Cup and he could race well again."

RACE 9: KRANJI STAKES D (SET WEIGHTS) (2) - 1400M COURSE B (LC) (TURF) TIME: 17:25 PRIZE MONEY: S$38000

Larry says, "A KSD over 1400m and as is often the case with these races, multiple chances as well others not worthy of consideration. LIM’S GREETING found plenty of trouble but still ran on strongly last start in Graduation company; if Oscar Chavez rides positively he should be hard to hold out. SKY ELEVEN battled away well in this grade last start, he is well drawn and Alan Munro should have him prominent throughout. HARDCORE ROCK is racing well in this company and the distance suits although Michael Rodd will have a challenge from the wide gate. The stablemate FREE HAPPY had been racing fairly in Class 4 over 1200m but only battled in Novice company last star; his only win was at 1200m but he could show up here. GUILTY PLEASURES is yet to win on turf but should be handy throughout whilst MEAISIN and SWIFT - who looks a good value option - are capable of showing up. Most of the rest are better in weaker grade or on the poly."

RACE 10: KRANJI STAKES A (SET WEIGHTS) - 1600M COURSE B (LC) (TURF) TIME: 17:55 PRIZE MONEY: S$125000

Larry says, "A KSA over a mile with the Guineas winner AFFLECK taking on the older horses over what is probably his preferred distance. This will be a test of where he is at but he should be hard to beat. JOHNNY GUITAR drops back to a more suitable trip after taking on International Group 1 company in the SIA Cup. The 5YO is well up to this grade and should be in the finish and looks the biggest danger to AFFLECK. It gets interesting after those two but BOURBON GOLDMAN had issues (arrhythmia) when running on well last start and his form prior has him involved somewhere. Likewise, BLUE SWEDE looks well-placed at the handicap conditions and you would presume he does his best work late as he heads towards the Derby. Respect WILD GEESE."

RACE 11: OPEN BENCHMARK 67 - 1400M COURSE B (LC) (TURF) TIME: 18:25 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "A BM67 over 1400m and GREAT SCOTT might be hard to beat. The 3YO is racing well in this grade - he was beaten by a good one last start - the distance suits and he should be handy all the way. ASPEN also looks a strong chance. The 4YO ran on well in Class 3 last start, the visor goes on and at third run from a let-up, he should find this easier with 3kg claim a bonus. Mario Esposito is making a habit of swooping home late to win. The Italian did so last start on JUSTICE WORLD and could do so again. KNIGHT SPRIT is another who likes to run on late, he has won nine races and whilst 1600m is his preferred trip, he showed last start that 1400m holds no fears. Amongst the others FAST EDITION is a useful 3YO though 1400m could test and POLE PARADISE could show up with his light weight."
