RACE 1: THE AUSTRALIA STAKES CLASS 5 (1) - 1000M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 18:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "This race is probably tougher than it first looked on paper but happy tasty with the obvious choice, DR OCTOPUS. The 4YO has only won once from some 20 career starts but some of those placed efforts suggests he is better than Class 5 and will win in this company sooner than later. The start did look to cost him last time out and Nunes will be keen to make amends here. GOOD LOOUKEN is the danger with three close-up placings since dropping to Class 5 and expect much the same again. The benchmark in the races of late has been ALWAYS A WINNER and he will again keep them honest but it will pay to keep INFERNO safe at odds as he gets blinkers and would give this a shake eon best form. Of the rest, not many 2YO's get a run in Class 5 so watch EAGLE SOAR with LUCKY EIGHTY EIGHT and SUPER JOY both capable of upsets at odds."

RACE 2: THE SERVCORP SINGAPORE CUP RESTRICTED MAIDEN (2 AND 3 YEAR OLD) (WEIGHT FOR AGE) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 18:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$75000

Larry says, "A nice enough maiden with plenty of promising types ready to open their accounts. SCENE OF THE CRIME is certainly one of those given his excellent debut run with support. He also gives every indication that 1200m is ideal and with Nunes staying on, he could be hard to beat. Other 3YO's that look ready to win include PREFERRED and MR BLOSSOM - who both will run on from wide draws - KIRKUS who showed plenty on a debut with excuses and the NH-bred TENMA who can win. A few 2YO's also look very well-placed with 50kg to win this with DRAGON GOLD a likely on-pace runner who could be hard to pass. Throw in two 2YO debutantes in GROENEWEGEN and SPECIAL FORCE and even JET STRIKE at long odds."

RACE 3: THE FIRST AURORA CUP CLASS 4 (2) - 1100M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 19:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "Not much depth to this Class 4 and as such, CASH BOX gets his chance to knock in his maiden Singapore win. The 5YO had won two back in Australia and has certainly showed enough at four starts since arriving to suggest he win a race like this with a tongue-tie added today. NOVA WARRIOR is one that punters may back to beat CASH BOX. The 3YO backed up a good maiden win to debut with a close-up Class 4 placing and given he had excuses last start, he could win this. Of the rest only LUCK DAPPER should come in for any sort of support and will run his usual each-way-all-the-way race. If you have to include others for exotics, CALIFORNIA EAGLE may be the improver at odds with Michael Rodd up back on the Poly."

RACE 4: THE WOLF BLASS CUP KRANJI STAKES D (SET WEIGHTS) - 1800M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 19:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$38000

Larry says, "Too many horses have a chance to win this to be confident but hopefully there is value on offer for the like of BORDEAUX. Yes, the 4YO has been very disappointing not to have won since making waves in late 2013, but in Kranji Stakes D he should give a sight. MILITARY ALLIANCE looks to have fluctuating form but his good recent form is all on the Poly so he must be a show while JIMTOWN is one that will be storming late and has to be included somewhere. Throw in TEQUILA SHOT down in grade, CLERMONT CLUB, BLOSSOM'S SEQUEL, WINNING STAR and even the maiden LIM'S MIRAGE, who looks due. A raffle."

RACE 5: THE NATIONAL AUSTRALIA BANK CUP OPEN BENCHMARK 83 - 1000M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 20:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$100000

Larry says, "Aptly named race as they may back one of these horses to be "better than bank interest" and for those willing to take the shorts, it may be GOT LUCK they jump on. The 5YO went super close when resuming last start in nice company over 1100m and this race with a 1kg claimer looks ideal. Two from the trials that look ready to go well first-up after spells are RAISE NO DOUBT and EXCEED EXPRESS. Both horses obviously go well enough regardless but with eye-catching trails under their belts, big runs are expected. Throw in the in-form SEBAS and PETRENUI but GOT LUCK the one to beat."

RACE 6: THE FAITHFUL+GOULD CUP CLASS 5 (2) - 1000M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 20:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "I think it's safe to say that whoever wins this "cup" won't be needing to build a trophy cabinet. The field is ordinary to say the least and while he is a 14 starts maiden, STOCK BROKER is the one to beat. The 3YO will not find a weaker race to win and his recent form suggests - while not winning any more silverware anytime soon - he is better than Class 5. Nothing else stands out to beat him - in fact more than half of the field have no form whatsoever - but SINGLE STAR first up after a break, LIVE WELL on his recent run and trial form and GEUINE BARGAIN on solid Class 5 form, safe."

RACE 7: THE AUSTCHAM CUP CLASS 3 - 1200M COURSE D (SC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 21:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$80000

Larry says, "A great race and expect punters to support at least five runners with genuine winning hopes. Heading the list for punters will be KAM'S COMET who is gunning for three straight wins. In fact if he does get the chocolates for regular rider Manny Nunes it be his fourth form just five career starts and they may jump out of the trees to back him. Hopefully they do and there will be value on SMART PEOPLE. The former Malaysian had issues in a similar affair last start (including his saddle slipping) and that effort good enough to win this. One at long odds that we may want to include in PINT SIZED PRINCE. The 6YO has been a terrific money spinner for connections and given he had excuses last start and gets blinkers added, he might be be suited back in trip. Throw in STIRLING and FLYING ZERO as winning hopes."

RACE 8: THE AIS CUP CLASS 4 (1) - 1100M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 21:55 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "No depth to this race and KEEN DRAGON gets his chance to knock in his third straight win. The 4YO took a few sighters to find his winning form but a spell after that win looked a good move as he came out and won in KSD company at his next start. Nunes stays on and expect heavy support. KAISER also gets an excellent chance to knock in a well deserved win. The 6YO has been in very solid form of late in this this company and while he needs a result, he won't find a race more citable than this and will be prominent throughout. Nothing else wins without surprising but worth a look at BLAZING SUN, TOAST'S ANGEL - both at value - with KISS and LUCKY SIX also thereabouts."

RACE 9: THE DOWN UNDER STAKES CLASS 4 - 1600M COURSE D (SC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 22:25 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "Something has to give in this race with at least seven horses featuring heavily in many a pundits black book. PERFECT P is one such horse after showing plenty at his Singapore debut. The ex-Argentinean did well against the track bias when swooping on that occasion and on a track that should suit and over an extra 200m, he will be hard to hold out. HERO I AM also showed last start he wins soon in Singapore and will race handy throughout for Matt Kellady. John Powell (who was on HERO I AM last start) gets on WELL DONE and his form coupled with a nice recent trial has him under notice ta odds. In no particular order, NINETYSEVENEMPEROR, BRAHMS AND LISZT, BOB and FREE HAPPY could all win without surprising and go even wider in exotics."
