RACE 8: NOVICE (SET WEIGHTS) - 1000M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 16:25 PRIZE MONEY: S$75000

Larry says, "Like a few of these Novice events there looks four or so horses that all can win on strong recent form and six or so horses with no hope whatsoever. Unfortunately splitting the four horses that can win - SUN PIONEER, CONFLIGHT, FINE CHOICE and UNSURPASSED - looks a very tough ask. In fact each time you look at the race you find a different winner but as it stands happy to stick with FINE CHOICE who may even be the value pick as well. His form is very good but with his trainer, Mark Walker, sticking with an apprentice and Nunes on the stablemate, he may drift in the betting. Nunes is on UNSURPASSED and he also gets blinkers so he will get some support. SUN PIONEER has to give them all weight but is smart when the gets things right and has to respected first up while CONFLIGHT may even start favourite on winning form but it was a weak race so play with care."

RACE 9: OPEN BENCHMARK 83 - 1600M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 17:00 PRIZE MONEY: S$100000

Larry says, "A few unknowns in this BM83 mile makes it one of the more interesting races on the day and the tote may give us a terrific guide. In saying that, MIGHTY WARRIOR probably starts favourite given his terrific form but this is his first start on the Polytrack. The 4YO has trialed good enough on the surface to think it won't be an issue and gate 1 suggest he gets every chance. In contrast, BEST TOTHELIGN loves the Poly but is having his first start over the mile. His race record is also too good to ignore and he should figure heavily with a CC Wong 2kg claim a factor. POWER PLAY on the Poly (and on form) is also a huge winning show while IDEAL GUIDE has to be considered. WAR TIME looks back in form so keep very safe."

RACE 10: KRANJI STAKES D (1) (SET WEIGHTS) - 1600M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 17:35 PRIZE MONEY: S$38000

Larry says, "Once again on this weekend we have a race with too many "nonnies" - i.e. horses that should win more often - to be confident. Connections of PERFECT CHALLENGER may argue that point given the 5YO has won four from 38 starts but his form and perhaps racing style has him listed as "disappointing" more often than not. But the Poly mile looks ideal and happy to give him another chance. Q NINE MAXIM has won once from five starts so he can't be labeled a non-winner just yet and is certainly better than what he showed last start. KNOW EACH OTHER is a dead-set nonnie and Pat Shaw will be scratching his head to find out how to get him over the line given his solid form and MUSCLE BEACH - who is yet to win in Singapore - is also a show sans blinkers."

RACE 11: OPEN BENCHMARK 67 - 1600M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 18:05 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "The Singapore Turf Club has made it tough for punters who are trying to get out of gaol in the last with a tricky BM67 Poly mile. So tricky in fact that most look to have some claims and nothing jumps off the page to win. As such we might stick with CLUTHA LAD who we specked at very long odds last Sunday. He may have been a good thing beaten on that occasion and with Nunes replacing apprentice CC Wong, he should get every chance. There are three last start winners in the race and while all will find this company tougher, BRING MONEY HOME had been in excellent form prior to that Class 4 win and happy to follow him in this field. SKY ELEVEN led throughout when winning and he might try a similar tactic here. SUPER JOE will find this easier than some recent outings and this type of race does look his caper so he could win without surprising. Taxi!"
