RACE 5: CLASS 4 (1) - 1400M COURSE B (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 14:40 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "Some solid class 4 journeymen compete over the 1400m. The winkers go on BAHANA who was solid when resuming in this Class and distance; Vlad Duric helps and he should be improved. SUN EMPIRE is racing well and should be prominent throughout; he rarely runs poorly and is suited by this class and distance. GROENEWEGEN battled on well last start, Alan Munro will help and he should be handy throughout. They look the main chances though SECRET SPICE rocketed home last start and could show up with no weight. GOLD CROWN will battle away and KARIGARA could show improvement, as could HUMDINGER. Keep SPECIAL FORCE safe as the form from his maiden win could hold up."

RACE 6: KRANJI SPRINT (SINGAPORE GROUP 3) (3 YEAR OLD AND UPWARDS) (2ND LEG - SINGAPORE SPRINT SERIES) (RIDER ALLOWANCES NOT PERMITTED) - 1200M COURSE B (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 15:10 PRIZE MONEY: S$200000

Larry says, "The 2nd leg of the sprint series and while the five best sprinters available in Singapore goes around, SPALATO looks head and shoulders above them. The new champ of Singapore racing was dominant in the first leg and even with weight swings against him; he is the one to beat. Who runs second? KIWI KARMA trialled well and meets Spalato 6.5 kg better for a nine-length defeat; she will run her usual honest race and give a bold sight. The other two top players are resuming. EMPEROR MAX is a top sprinter who was not disgraced at Royal Ascot though his recent trials have been moderate; at his best he could issue a challenge. ZAC SPIRIT has had a year off and connections may be just happy to see him get around safely. EL PADRINO is a much-travelled sprinter who is up to international class but better on synthetic surfaces, he will be running on."

RACE 7: KRANJI STAKES D (SET WEIGHTS) - 1600M COURSE B (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 15:45 PRIZE MONEY: S$38000

Larry says, "An ordinary lot of KSD horses battle over the mile with plenty of chances. An interesting runner is SPLENDOR. The former Argentinean has not been far away at recent outings in Class 4 and from the good gate he can go forward and be handy throughout. The blinkers go on ABOVE THE HORIZON and he trialled nicely. He is racing consistently at this level and should be thereabouts. The pacifiers come off PERFECT CURIOSITY who is also racing consistently in similar company since his Maiden win and should get a good run throughout. SKY ELEVEN has won at this trip and will find this more suitable than recent outings; he will benefit from a positive ride and could be value as might BOB who will also improve lengths in this company. Amongst the numerous other chances, ROSEGOLD is racing well but poorly drawn and likes to go forward; he will need to lead or find cover but the distance suits. AMAZING battles away in this grade and this distance suits."

RACE 8: CLASS 4 - 1100M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 16:15 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "This race does look ELITE STAR's to lose. The 3YO took a few runs to get his act together but his form of late that includes a strong win in this company last start has him as the one to beat. He also still looks to have a bit to learn about the caper but from gate 3 with Manny Nunes retaining the ride, he should win against a field that lacks Class 4 depth. His biggest danger on recent form looks BE BOLD. The former Aussie has shown more than enough at three runs in Singapore to think he wins one sooner than later and gets his chance here to pick up another cheque although he will need a tad of luck from the wide gate. Nothing else jumps off the page but BLUE DIAMOND goes good enough when right (picking when he is right is the trick) and RORY keeps them honest. SOON YI and HOST THE NATION will work into this late."

RACE 9: JBBA MOONBEAM VASE (SINGAPORE GROUP 3) (3 YEAR OLD AND UPWARDS) (CONDITION WEIGHT) (RIDER ALLOWANCES NOT PERMITTED) - 1800M COURSE B (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 16:45 PRIZE MONEY: S$200000

Larry says, "At first glance you could be forgiven to think this JBBA Moonbeam Vase lacked some class but what it lacks in star quality it makes up for in depth with most horses having a decent winning chance. It will be an honest run race as well with plenty of early speed coming from last start winner ORDER OF THE SUN who also gets in best at the race conditions. Another last start winner in BLUE DANUBE will also figure very heavily in punters minds as his strong win in a BM 97 certainly has him as a horse to follow to July. Oddly, given their recent winning form, it may be a horse that hasn't tasted success for near on a year in HUGHSY that is hardest to beat. The experienced Alan Munro looks a good fit for the 5YO and they can win. Most others can win although MAJESTIC MOMENTS looks well in at the race conditions."

RACE 10: CLASS 3 - 1200M COURSE B (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 17:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$80000

Larry says, "A race with enough depth to think there will be value about although RED DAWN might be hard to beat and punters won't miss him. The 4YO resumed with a nice win and had enough excuses last start to think he goes very close here with Dan Beasley up from gate 2. Interestingly, his stablemate, HERO I AM, has drawn inside him and he is certainly progressive enough to think he plays a big part in this race with Matt Kellady up. As mentioned, plenty of other chances including good last start winner MANGATOETOENUI, FAMOUS ARTIST sans blinkers off a good trial, THE GENERAL also sans head-gear and don't forget the honest DIVIDED HOUSE who deserves a win more than most others. Great race."

RACE 11: CLASS 4 (2) - 1400M COURSE B (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 17:55 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "While it's hard to go past the top weight - EN CIVIL - in the lucky last, the race looks a tricky one with some nice types in form and a progressive horse in DEBT COLLECTOR resuming. But EN CIVIL is the one to be on after the journeyman backed up a very good Singapore debut with a very strong win in a similar race to this. He will start favourite and pending how short he is it may be a better value option to have a long look at DEBT COLLECTOR first up after his maiden win. That effort was good and his recent trial suggests he is ready to show up fresh. MIGHTY KENNY and HORSE WARRIOR are both in form and pick themselves while LIM'S BATTLE won at odds last start and can be followed with best work expected late."
