Preview Singapore Friday 15 April 2016

 

It’s a stand alone Friday meeting as Singapore gears up for the Group 1 Lion City Cup and the Three-Year-Old Classic the following Sunday but there looks something for everyone with nine good races.

And while a the better races on the card include a cracking Open Poly Sprint and an intriguing BM89 event over 1800m, a lowly Class 5 mile (race 6) may offer one of the better bets on the night.

Yes, you often have to be wary of the lower rated races, however, FREE HAPPY ticks too many boxes not to be the one to be on and the 5YO does looks a standout.

True, he hasn’t won since June last year but given his recent strong form in better company than Class 5, he looks very hard to beat with Manny Nunes back on board.

The other two races mentioned are must watch affairs and MY LUCKY STRIKE looks well placed with 56kg to win the Open Sprint (race 7) while SEBROSE can win the BM89 over 1800 (race 5) and it’s no coincidence that Manny Nunes is on both.

Samba time!

Best Bets: (FREE HAPPY race 6, win), (HUSSONATOR race 2, each-way) and (ROCKFAST race 5, value).

Bankers for Jackpots: Race 6 (2), race 7 (1, 2, 3 and 4), race 8 (1, 6, 7 and 11), race 9 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8).

RACE 1: CLASS 5 - 1100M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 18:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "A few horses are going into this race with seemingly poor form but will run well in this company. Case in point it DREAMCATCHER who finds himself in Class 5 after a run in BM67 Company. He has shown previously he is more than up to winning this trip and track and with Nunes up and headgear back on; he could be very hard to beat. A couple in form that will win sooner than later in MILLION ROUND and ROCK OF AGES both have drawn wide. Obviously that is an issue over this trip but both can win with luck in running. Plenty of others to look at including surprise last start winner JOHN DUKE, MR PATRON, ALWAYS A WINNER and the two emergences, EXCITING PROSPECT and TIM."

Larry says, "While we could try to make a case for a few horses like BALBOA to improve at odds, it really does look a race in three between ARHAT, BLACK SWAN and HUSSONATOR. All look ready to win a race like this and it will be interesting to see which one gets the most support. ARHAT comes into this after a super effort in Class 4 company and that more than holds up here. He is honest as well and that counts for plenty in maiden company. BLACK SWAN probably starts favourite - he has had the honour previously - and while he was disappointing last start, he gets a tongue-tie back on and has to win a race like this sooner than later. But the one we like is HUSSONATOR. The 3YO was given little chance last start over this trip so happy to ignore that run and take on his eye-catching recent trial. Vlad Duric on board doesn't hurt."

RACE 3: CLASS 4 - 1100M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 19:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "An odd race with three raced newcomers adding to the intrigue. The trio in question - FIGHTING WARRIOR and SATELLITE BOY from Australia and UNCLE LUCKY from New Zealand - all bring moderate race form to Singapore but all have trialled like they have something to offer on debut with the market a terrific guide. But of those we know, RIVER OF GOLD looks a good option. The 3YO is honest and is certainly due to knock in another win with gate 2 and Dan Beasley on top in his favour. After two disappointing runs, COURT CASE showed last start he is more than up to Class 4 company and he also looks a serious winning hope. The interesting runner is the first emergency, PRATT STREET. The 3YO's form looks patchy at best but a recent very good trial with blinkers suggests he could win this with headgear added from gate 1. Plenty of other hopes so look for value elsewhere."

RACE 4: RESTRICTED MAIDEN (2 AND 3 YEAR OLD) (WEIGHT FOR AGE) - 1200M COURSE E (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 19:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$75000

Larry says, "Again, a race with many chances including ALIBI on debut. The 3YO by Darci Brahma has looked very professional at the trials and looked to be doing it easy at his most recent hit out. You would expect support on debut from those trial efforts with the in-form Vlad Duric to steer. Of those with good race form to their names, AMAZING MAN looks a strong winning show. The NZ-bred gelding led for most of the race to narrowly go down last start and given he gets to jump from gate 1 in this, he could be hard to run down. Plenty of others to watch including WAIPAKIHI who looks a handy enough type and should race well sans blinkers, SILK ROUTE, NOVA LEGEND and GABBAR who should be running on late if the race is run to suit."

RACE 5: OPEN BENCHMARK 89 - 1800M COURSE E (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 20:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$100000

Larry says, "Unfortunately you can't fit all the winning hopes into the selections and as such a serious horse in BOURBON GOLDMAN misses out. Which sounds crazy given the 6YO finished second to Blue Danube in BM97 company last start over 2000m and no reason he can't win this with a handy 3kg claimer on-board. Likewise, last start winner LAUGHING GRAVY doesn't find himself on our podium but can win again if given any leeway out front. But SEBROSE is hardest to beat and happy to have him on top. The 5YO runs on well and given the depth of this field it should be a honest run race, which will suit. The honest MIGHTY WARRIOR also gets his chance to knock in another win and SQUIRE OSBALDESTON is also due and wins without surprising. Keep ROCKFAST safe at likely good value, as his recent form is a lot better than it reads."

RACE 6: CLASS 5 - 1600M COURSE E (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 20:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "While this field has depth and it's always hard to be super confident in Class 5 races, FREE HAPPY should win. The 5YO is very honest and has been going good enough in better company than this to think he is extremely hard to beat. In fact happy to make him one of the better winning options on the day. But if anyone does beat him it will probably be from trainer Stephen Gray stable. TEMBUSU ESTRELA looks his best hope on paper and will break his maiden status in a race like this. He also gets Vlad Duric, which is a pointer to his chances. The stablemate PERCIUS is the first emergency but is in form and can win if he gets a start while Gray's other runner, CIRRUS, looks hopeless on race form but comes under notice with a eye-catching recent trial under his belt. INSOFAR and ZENZERO the other two to watch."

RACE 7: OPEN HANDICAP - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 21:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$125000

Larry says, "You would presume most of the runners in this are either not up to tackling the big boys in the Lion City Cup next week or, like MY LUCKY STRIKE, are Poly specialists and this race is their bread and butter. And while there are a few others that also grow a leg on this surface, MY LUCKY STRIKE looks ready to win again and is the benchmark with 56kg under the race conditions. This weight looks more than fair given EL PADRINO - who will be chasing him home - and the honest HUKA FALLS have to carry 59 and 58.5kg respectively. SUPER WINNER is the other Poly specialist who has to be respected and wins without surprising while PACHELBEL'S CANON could be the value runner first up for a new trainer after a bleeding attack in the Kranji Mile."

Larry says, "A good KSC over 1400m. The visor comes off CHASE who will have benefited from recent outings and with Manoel Nunes up, he will get cover off the speed and can finish off best. FAMOUS ARTIST put in a strong effort without blinkers last start; he is on trial at the trip but should run on well. POLE PARADISE is very consistent; if he can get across he will be hard to run down while GOLDEN CURL is also consistent and rarely runs a bad race. GANADOR can improve from his first Singapore outing. GOLDEN TOMAHAWK's best form is on the poly but he ran on nicely at this trip last star. In 2013 TOTALITY won the Three Rings Trophy at this trip, he has fallen a long way in the ratings but has won four tines at the trip and could surprise."

RACE 9: CLASS 4 - 1400M COURSE E (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 22:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "The usual open Class 4 over 1400m, this one of good quality. RUN IT TWICE did not miss by much when resuming after having a wide trip; he is better suited at this distance and from the good gate Corey Brown should give him every chance. KIRKS RYKER has been consistent at this level and his recent trial was strong if Barend Vorster can find cover he will be strong late. EN CIVIL won one of these two starts back, Manoel Nunes takes over and whilst his best form may be on poly he could be hard to hold out. GOLDEN CASINO put in a good effort when resuming on the poly, he has won at this distance and with CC Wong's claim should get a good run throughout. NINETYSEVENEMPEROR is in good form, the distance suits and Oscar Chavez should give him every chance. STREET TAIPAN won well in Maiden company last start, this is harder but the 3kg drop in weight will help. REDDOT RISING also looked a likely type when winning his Maiden and should get a good run from the inside gate."
