RACE 1: CLASS 5 - 1400M COURSE A (SC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 18:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "The proverbial raffle with most having a chance on best form and thus very hard to be confident of finding the winner. So with value in mind and looking for an improver, HARDCORE ROCK appeals. The 5YO doesn't look in good form on paper but given he has been running on the Poly since dropping to Class 5, he improves on his preferred turf surface in this company and can win - hopefully at odds. Safer picks include REMEMBER ME who will break his maiden status sooner than later in this company and obviously a couple of last start winners in ZENZERO and GEARIGURU. Of the rest, SUVARNABHUMI can be forgiven for his last start failure (debris in trachea), RAVOUX is better than he showed last start with TURQUOISE SON, SUPERMARKET and EASY EASY also in the mix."

RACE 2: RESTRICTED MAIDEN (2 AND 3 YEAR OLD) (WEIGHT FOR AGE) - 1200M COURSE A (SC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 18:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$75000

Larry says, "Like most Restricted Maidens, this field looks chalk and cheese with four or so with winning hopes and the others with none. LIM'S KNIGHT definitely falls into the winning hope category on what he showed on debut. The 3YO had all sorts of issues on that occasion and his effort to just miss was very good and he will be hard to beat with the in-from Oscar Chavez to steer. Likewise, SUPERTEN and KNIGHT HARLOOK showed more than enough at their respective debuts to win a race sooner than later and both should figure heavily in this finish. ROYAL EASTER has more race experience on his side and can also win with a nice recent trial a pointer to his chances. Those playing exotics may want to include PUSONG PINOY and SUPER BUFFALO on debut for value."

RACE 3: CLASS 4 (2) - 1400M COURSE A (SC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 19:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "A race with plenty of depth and as such there should be plenty of value about on the day. ELISE hasn't done much wrong since blinkers were added to his gear and given his two career wins were on the turf, he looks the benchmark. HORSE WARRIOR has also been in good form and gets his chance today with connection opting for a senior hoop in M Rodd. HIGH COUNCIL and AMAZON GOLD are always an each-way show in races like this and pick themselves with Vorster and Nunes up respectively. Of the rest, ZEUS and BANNISTER both appreciate solid first up runs and find themselves in suitable races and it will pay to go even wider in exotics."

RACE 4: INITIATION (4 YEAR OLD AND BELOW) (WEIGHT FOR AGE) (HORSES NOT WON A RACE IN 2YRS PRIOR TO NOMINATION DATE & NOT HAD > 8 STARTS IN SIN / MSIA) - 1400M COURSE A (SC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 19:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$65000

Larry says, "You could do the form for this maiden ten times and get ten different winners so it does look a case of following your nose on the day with one eye on the tote. In saying that NINEPINS has shown more than enough at his two race starts to think he may start favourite and hard to beat if he improves with blinkers added for the first time. CELERITAS is also showing enough to follow and in his favour is the fact he will be racing on the pace throughout and he could be a very good each-way option. Too many others to get into too many details about but RED JEWEL will appreciate 1400m and has trialed well recently so could be a very good value option and GOLDEN FORTUNE will appreciate his debut run and gets winkers."

RACE 5: KRANJI STAKES C (SET WEIGHTS) - 2000M COURSE A (SC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 20:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$80000

Larry says, "An odd race where a couple of the horses with experience in better races than this look out of form and the punters may follow a few of the progressive types in SMART LAD, ZIP A DEE DOH DAH and SING EXPRESS. Of the trio, SMART LAD has been in good form and while yet to win further than the mile, he will see out the trip and is due. M Rodd replaces apprentice I Amirul and that could do the trick. ZIP A DEE DOH DAH will also come in for plenty of attention from punters after breaking his maiden status last start. That win was over 1600m but the 4YO gives every indication that 2000m is ideal although the company might test at only start four. Of the rest, SUNNY is always a show in staying races on the turf while DUJARDIN should be battling away late and might have the class in this field."

RACE 6: CLASS 4 (2) - 1200M COURSE A (SC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 20:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "It's hard to go past INFANTRY in this Class 4 sprint after the 3YO made it back-to-back wins with heavy support at his last start. That effort was in this company and while having his first start on the turf, he will start favourite and looks the testing material. One that might be value and certainly appeals as a betting option in Class 4 is ELUSIVE EMPEROR. The 4YO resumes after just a fair run of form but given he looked better than this company when winning three races as a very progressive 3YO last year, he could give this a shake if near his best. POWER LIN is also in very solid form and a switch to the turf could see a result and he will be value. Keep an eye on the market for a horse like LIM'S CHARGE and it will pay to go wide in exotics."

RACE 7: KRANJI STAKES A (SET WEIGHTS) - 1200M COURSE A (SC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 21:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$125000

Larry says, "An extremely good race with all some hope and only FAALTLESS needing to improve on some recent poor form. In his favour is the switch to turf, which also worked for our top pick KIWI KARMA at her last start. On that occasion she turned some good Poly form into an overdue win and no reason to think this Dubai-bound mare can't go on with the job with 57kg. As mentioned earlier she is up against some in-form horses with obvious talent and SPANISH BAY should be very prominent throughout while WIMBLEDON can make amends for his last start failure when he returned not striding. RAISE NO DOUBT ran second to KIWI KARMA last start so picks himself with a 1.5kg swing in the weights and BLUE SWEDE will be the one motoring home late if the race is run to suits swoopers."

RACE 8: CLASS 4 (1) - 1400M COURSE A (SC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 21:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "I think we can blame Chinese New Year for yet another race where there looks too many chances to make favourite punters happy. And given the favourite is likely to be our top pick in FELAROF, we may want to have a long look on the day for value. But FELAROF looks in good enough form to think he is hardest to beat in Class 4 over this trip with M Nunes up. A blanket goes over most of the others but GROENEWEGEN had excuses last start and get winkers so could win without surprising and good old RUSTY BROWN is always a leading hope in Class 4 and he also had plenty of excuses last start. In no particular order, AMAZING resuming will run a forward race, ASTROJET and LUCKY COIN have last start wins to their names while SPECIAL ID and THE DODGER look ready to win again. Even MOLLY BROWNE back on the turf at very long odds is worth a look. Good luck."

RACE 9: CLASS 4 (1) - 1200M COURSE A (SC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 22:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "Yet another race with multiple chances and you would think the form from this race and meeting will hold up in weeks to come. As it stands though, ROYAL RULER showed he has returned in the form that had him knocking in back-to-back wins at his last campaign and he looks a horse to follow. He has drawn wide but the reliable Barend Vorster will give him every chance to knock in another win. MANGATOETOENUI was disappointing last start but his form prior was very good and he can also win. M Rodd back onboard is a bonus given the new dad was on the 4YO at both his career wins. The race has depth and from the top, IKING is back in trip but versatile and in form, MEDIA CAPTAIN is back in the right grade, ZIPPY GENERAL was supported and won well last start, CERTAINLY is more than up to Class 4, PEER GYNT wins again soon and has Nunes while the maiden LADY LIBERTY can also win on what she has shown."
