RACE 1: KRANJI STAKES D (1) (SET WEIGHTS) - 1400M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 18:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$38000

Larry says, "A tricky opener with a few horses that struggle to put wins on the board right in the mix. Case in point is JUST NAME IT for the Cliff Brown stable. The 5YO has only managed one win from some 19-career starts but another 10 placings suggests he much more to offer. C Brown (the jockey) gets this chance and you would expect the pair to make their presence felt late. Another swooper that looks a leading hope is LUCKY COIN. E Chaves rides for Brian Dean and the latest Brazilian to get his chance in Singapore will want to keep his good start going. HAPPY SAGA showed last start he is up to this company and is another that will be doing best work late in what should be a cracking finish. Throw in PUSAKA, RUM N RAISINS and BRANKSOME as others with winning hopes."

RACE 2: RESTRICTED MAIDEN (2 AND 3 YEAR OLD) (WEIGHT FOR AGE) - 1400M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 18:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$75000

Larry says, "This Restricted Maiden looks a beauty with four or more horses all looking extremely well placed to break their ducks over 1400m. But you can't pick them all and while it may pay to have a look at some value options on the day, MAGSTOCK could be hardest to hold out. The 3YO was favourite last Sunday before a bizarre starting incident saw his race abandoned and Michael Rodd will be keen to make quick amends. There is a bit to like about THE WIND as well. His form is solid but more importantly he gets blinkers for the first time and his trial form suggests they make a difference. Pat Shaw will saddle DOUBLE DOUBT who took a while to get into gear on debut but his eye-catching finish suggests he can also win without surprising with ELITE STAR the other obvious winning pick on form."

RACE 3: OPEN BENCHMARK 89 - 1400M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 19:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$100000

Larry says, "It's a shame such an intriguing race like this is so early in the card but at least it gets us focused with the likes of AFFLECK going around. Yes, the 2015 Guineas winner has been disappointing in three runs since that Group 1 victory not to have won, however, you could forgive a couple of those runs including his last start failure on the Poly. Rodd suggested he will be better back on the turf and while we agree with the top Aussie hoop, the pair will have their work cut out to beat the honest MAJESTIC MOMENTS. The 4YO did finish unplaced in the Guineas won by AFFLECK but has shown plenty since at a good level and this looks perfect to knock in another win. Of the rest, we always keep DRAGON FURY safe, as his best form is very good and a blanket over the rest."

RACE 4: CLASS 5 - 1600M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 19:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "Surprisingly, this race has plenty to offer for a lowly Class 5 mile and expect some very solid betting with plenty of winning hopes. In fact there should be excellent value on offer as well given a few maidens look well placed to do well and a few regular Class 5 conveyances find themselves in what looks a very suitable turf affair. We were keen on JOYOUS last start after an eye-catching trial and he almost got the chocolates at a decent price. Nunes replaces an apprentice and while that may take away the price, he will give it every chance. One that may be value is SMART INVESTMENT. The 3YO gets blinkers and a claim at his first go in Class 5 and the mile should be ideal. Too many others to go into detail about their winning chances but EAGLESHAM, FRANCES, CHEETAH KING, RAINBOW WARRIOR and PEREGRINE FALCON all give this a shake."

RACE 5: KRANJI STAKES D (2) (SET WEIGHTS) - 1400M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 20:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$38000

Larry says, "While we are not sure what will happen early - perhaps MILLION ROUND tries to pinch it - there is a big show this race will get super interesting late with the likes of CONSTANCE'S SPIRIT, SCIENCE FICTION and LUCKY STRATEGY all doing best work over the concluding stages. The D Course will suit the swoopers as well so the trio should get every chance with CONSTANCE'S SPIRIT very much appreciating the company so narrowly getting the nod as the on-top selection. Not much in it though and SCIENCE FICTION is due and LUCKY STRATEGY also looks very well placed. Others to watch include the maiden BATTLE BOY who could provide the value second up from a spell with FREE HAPPY and KNOW EACH OTHER two that will get support and should figure prominently."

RACE 6: CLASS 5 - 1100M (POLYTRACK) (CLAIMING RIDERS ONLY) TIME: 20:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "Some very interesting form lines in this Class 5 sprint and it may pay to wait to see if we can get some value in our top four or so picks. In saying that, CAPTAIN MCCAW probably starts favourite and justifiably so. Yes, he made a mess of things with support last start but with blinkers off we would expect a better start and he looks the benchmark. Now for the value. SUPER BONUS was just fair last start but will win in Class 5 sooner than later and he could be very bankable each-way odds. Salim was on him at his most recent win and hopefully they can make use of the inside gate. ROMA also looks hopeless on recent form but finds himself in the right grade on the right surface so he should improve dramatically. SMART SUPREME and VOYAGER two others that could show up in what is a suitable race."

RACE 7: CLASS 4 (2) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 21:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "While definitely not a two horse race, it does look a toss up between ROYAL RULER and JELLY BEAN. Both horses showed more than enough with close-up placings at their respective last starts and while both have drawn wide, they figure heavily in this finish. ROYAL RULER had blinkers on at his last start and while beaten by Roselli, the effort suggests he can add quickly to his win tally, which stands at two from seven career starts. JELLY BEAN has only one win to his name (from six starts) but showed last start the Poly is his caper and he will win better races than this. Of the rest, STIRLING was just fair last start but was due prior and LIM'S ACTION is in very solid form - in albeit easier company - so should be competitive. YOU DA ONE, SING ROULETTE and SOON YI for exotics."

RACE 8: CLASS 3 - 1200M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 21:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$80000

Larry says, "While the likes of Affleck and co would have been good to watch earlier on in the card, this race looks an absolute cracker with some very promising horses trying to show they have what it takes to go to Open company. And to make it even more interesting for punters, two horses are resuming - including the unbeaten GOLDEN SWORD who is attempting to keep his winning record intact at start four. However, as a 3YO he has been carrying some light weights in those victories so this is his biggest test. So who beats him? SOLARIS SPECTRUM is more than handy and we love the fact he had excuses not to win last start and still go the chocolates. Blinkers go on and while drawn wide, he could win without surprising. Others that are right in the mix include DIVIDED HOUSE, LIM'S SHOWCASE, SHANGHAI BUND and NINETYSEVEN GOLD."

RACE 9: CLASS 4 (1) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 22:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "A top-heavy finish to the evening with ABOVE THE SKYLINE and INFANTRY the two standout picks. ABOVE THE SKYLINE has always looked a progressive type but it did take 11 or so starts before he broke his maiden status. But like a few horses before him, once he broke his duck he was quick to win again at start 14. That effort at his most recent start was very good and this doesn't look much tougher. In saying that, INFANTRY looks a more than handy type. The 3YO ran second on debut before winning next start and he can go on with the job with E Chaves up. The race lacks depth so KAISER must be included as a strong each-way hope and you never know, TWODOLLARMUPPET might even show his best."
