RACE 7: SHA TIN STAKES KRANJI STAKES D (SET WEIGHTS) - 1000M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 16:15 PRIZE MONEY: S$38000

Larry says, "Not many of these are horses you would say are strong at the end of their races. Case in point is MASTERMIND. However, the 6YO did a good job to hold them off in Class 4 last start and while he has more weight to carry (5kg), this is easier and he could prove hard to pass again. Alan Munro has been riding more patient races on LADY ROULETTE and she has been finishing off her races well. Hopefully she gets a bit of luck from the wide gate and would give this a real shake on recent form. The wild card might be ICONNIC. The 4YO went out like a mad thing last start over 1400m and predictably knocked up; from the good gate expect a more controlled ride from Noreesh Juglall an this distance suits. Most of the others want weaker grade or, like HONGCHEN, are better on turf."

RACE 8: HONG KONG JOCKEY CLUB TROPHY (3 YEAR OLD AND UPWARDS) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 16:45 PRIZE MONEY: S$125000

Larry says, "The established polytrack sprinter in HUKA FALLS and the up-and comer in SUPER WINNER look the top two chances in this top-grade Poly sprint. And while HUKA FALLS is a 14-time winner and obviously has the runs on the board, it was hard not to be impressed by SUPER WINNER in the Korean Racing Authority Trophy and he is the one to beat. This is harder but he gets some 5kg at the handicap conditions on HUKA FALLS and that looks telling. Plenty of depth to this race though and WIMBLEDON with his lightweight looms a possible spoiler. The 4YO wasn't far off SUPER WINNER in the KRA Trophy and should keep him honest here. Likewise, HYPERNOVA appreciates 50kg and looks a very good value option while CAVALLO will be doing best work late. Go even wider in exotics. These races can throw up surprises with the likes of DAVIDE and TRUDEAU in the field. These races can throw up surprises with the likes of CAVALLO, DAVIDE and TRUDEAU in the field."

RACE 9: LAN KWAI FONG STAKES CLASS 3 - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 17:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$80000

Larry says, "BEST TOTHELIGN has a very good polytrack record and looks well placed here to knock in another win. The 5YO will strip fitter after two runs this campaign and given he had excuses last start and did it tough wide, he could be hard to beat with luck in running for Michael Rodd from gate 10. BRAHMA CIRCUS has not missed a place in 10 poly starts with two wins in that tally. The 4YO is up in grade after a rare turf run (and win) but will put in his usual honest effort and has to be a serious contender. MAC VOLKS will find this easier than his last start and also looks a wining hope with Alan Munro onboard. These look the top picks though there are others with credentials in Class 3 including GOLDEN CURL who will be flying late with a 4kg claimer up and BAHEN who has five Poly wins to his name. Of the rest, MINGS MAN if given a more patient ride could be running on late and it will pay to keep the emergency, STIRLING, safe."

RACE 10: TSIM SHA TSUI STAKES CLASS 4 (2) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 17:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "A Class 4 over 1200m and like many today, a race with little depth. So a newcomer to Singapore in IDYLLIC SCENERY looks a very good option. The 4YO won a race at Canterbury (NSW) over 1250m and this is not a particularly strong Class 4 so he can win with a couple of very nice trials under his belt. Watch for support. RISING EMPIRE was ridden too far back last start and given little chance; with a more positive ride he can be in the finish. GOLDEN PASTURE has been racing well in weaker company, from his good gate he should be on the speed throughout. SILVER STAR did not have much luck last start being held up at a critical time; he has been racing consistently and should get a good run throughout. There are a number who have been freshened and whilst they might want longer they can make their presence felt. These include SMART VINTAGE, SCIENCE FICTION and FEDERER."
