RACE 7: CHAIRMAN'S TROPHY (SG2) (WEIGHT FOR AGE) (RIDER ALLOWANCES NOT PERMITTED) - 1800M COURSE A (LC) TIME: 16:05 PRIZE MONEY: S$300000

Larry says, "The Chairman’s Trophy and Laurie Laxon has a strong hand with the Yew Tee winner STEPITUP, last year’s winner of this race, GOODMAN, the strong stayer MARTIN as well as IDEAL GUIDE. There are few tougher than STEPITUP and with Manoel Nunes on top he will run his usual honest race and be hard to beat. The WFA conditions are in his favour as well. GOODMAN probably leads and is the type of form that suggests he will win one of these soon. The one to watch may be FLAX who would have benefited from his recent outing over 1200m and he has a very good record at this distance having won this race in 2013. JOHNNY GUITAR and MARTIN keep them all honest but the wild card could be ACCOMPLISHED who is a horse of promise but is not well treated at the weights and is being tested at the trip."

RACE 8: ANY HUMOUR 2009 STAKES CLASS 3 - 1600M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 16:40 PRIZE MONEY: S$80000

Larry says, "A Class 3 over 1600m on the poly with multiple chances. ALHA CENTAURI is consistent but struggles to win. In saying that he had excuses last start, drops in grade and Manoel Nunes may be able to get over the line. One to watch at odds is BOOMERANG DELUXE. His form reads badly but all four career wins have been on the Poly and he finds himself in suitable company. JUSTICE WORLD is racing in good form; he scored in this Grade on turf last star and is equally adept on the poly. EAGLE STORM is a very honest fellow and he will be on the speed throughout. HOLY WARRIOR drops in Grade, was held up last start and whilst up in weight, Shafiq’s 1kg helps and he should be running on late. SMART LAD was close up last start (despite the rider dropping the whip) and trials well enough on the surface to deserve consideration at his first start on the Poly."

RACE 9: KOREA RACING AUTHORITY TROPHY (3 YEAR OLD AND UPWARDS) (SET WEIGHTS) (RIDER ALLOWANCES NOT PERMITTED) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 17:15 PRIZE MONEY: S$250000

Larry says, "The KRA Trophy with three Korean-breds taking on the local horses for 250K over 1200m on the poly. MY LUCKY STRIKE has won six from seven on the poly and looks a potential top-liner. From his good gate he should be too good. SUPER WINNER also has an excellent record on the poly winning five from six. He has been trialing well and should be handy throughout. WIMBLEDON placed at Group 3 level last start and always runs an honest race. HYPERNOVA is trialing well and also has an excellent polytrack record; he should be in the finish. OLYMPIC ANTHEM is racing well and has a strong turn of foot late. The Korean runners are a strange lot with both NOBODY CATCH ME and GAMDONGUIBADA's best form being over longer and only CHEONG GU has form befitting the distance and he looks a quality young horse having won four from six - some by big margins - so could show up."

RACE 10: TOP SPIN 2008 STAKES CLASS 3 - 1100M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 17:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$80000

Larry says, "A Class 3 over 1100m on the poly and the promising FAMOUS ARTIST with Manoel Nunes up is the one to beat. The 3YO is coming off a good Novice win and from the ace should get a good run throughout. He is however significantly up in Grade and is taking on some seasoned performers. BAHEN resumed with a good effort in higher grade, he is suited at this Class and distance. ASSERTIVE LAD also ran on strongly last start and will appreciate a solid tempo whilst the stablemate, TAFFETAS, is a handy mare who trialed well recently. TOU SHOU BRIGHT has been racing well in good company and should get a nice run off the speed. An interesting runner is PETER CULTURE a three-time winner over 1000m in South Africa; he has had plenty of trials and can race well fresh, watch for support."

RACE 11: TRIGGER EXPRESS 2007 STAKES OPEN BENCHMARK 67 - 1400M COURSE A (LC) TIME: 18:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "An open BM67 over 1400m closes the programme and hopefully RISING EMPIRE will provide a nice each-way finish to the day. The 5YO has been in solid form of late with plenty of excuses but looks very well placed in this with a 2kg TH Koh claim. Plenty of others can win though and INTENSE GOLD showed last start this trip is his caper, gets Michael Rodd and can be handy throughout. RUSTY BROWN is honest and likes this journey; he can be in the finish. JAY EFF EXPRESS scored well in Class 4 last start, he is an improving type who should be suited at 1400m. TO BE REMEMBERED, POLE PARADISE, WHITE COFFEE, EVA’S DAY and ODE TO JOY others to watch. Keep the emergency, HOME RUN HERO, safe as well."
