With the big races, included the must watch Lion City Cup on Sunday, this meeting is an entrée to the main dish at best but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some good bets to be had.

But in good news for those that like to get in early, there looks some value in the first three races on the card.

The opener hopefully has some of that value on offer with SECRET MAN the pick.

The 3YO maiden gets blinkers added after a poor run but his trial form with head gear suggests he gives this a shake in a grade that suits.

Race 2 on the all Polytrack card has GOLDEN DIAMOND in the field who also has blinkers added.

The 3YO is resuming after a solid first preparation but his recent trials with blinkers have been eye catching and he might be a solid betting option in a maiden with depth.

Likewise, COURT CASE can improve with blinkers added in race 3 on the card - his trial with head-gear was very good - and hopefully the gear changes on trial form on all three can get us off to a flyer on what is a very good weekends racing.

Best Bets: (COURT CASE race 3, win), (SECRET MAN race 1, each-way) and (GOLDEN DIAMOND race 2, value).

Bankers for Jackpots: Race 6 (2, 3, 6, 7 and 10), race 7 (1, 6 and 7), race 8 (1, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 10), race 9 (1, 2, 3, 4 and 11).

Please note the odds listed are "reference odds" only.

RACE 1: CLASS 5 (1) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 18:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "We like a gear change or two and a maiden in SECRET MAN should benefit from blinkers added to his gear in the opener from Kranji. The 3YO had support and was only fair in a similar affair last start but his subsequent trial with headgear was easily good enough to win a race like this with Vlad Duric staying on-board and gate 2 factors. Another maiden in GIORGIO also looks ready to break his duck and like SECRET MAN, he had support last start and gets another chance from gate 5. Two horses that win sooner than later in Class 5 in HEE'S EGO and DREAMCATCHER pick themselves with C Brown and M Nunes respectively giving the stable mates every chance. GOLD LINE with blinkers added and BANKERS CALL round out the winning hopes."

RACE 2: 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) - 1100M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 18:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$65000

Larry says, "A very good maiden affair with three newcomers with strong trial form suggesting they can win on debut and another five or so of the raced brigade in good enough form to win. Of the debutantes with winning hopes, CONILAD has probably looked best at the trials but does have an awkward gate to overcome. THE WINGED DRAGON also has a wide gate which could make winning tough on debut while TIZALOOCHEE should get the favours from gate 2. Of the raced brigade, GOLDEN DIAMOND resumes with an important gear change - blinkers and tongue tie go on - and his trials suggests he will improve with the head-gear on. Plenty of others on raced form can win including SUPER BALL who placed last start with support, TRETCHIKOFF who improves on a "daylight second" on debut with ALPHANOVA and PENTAGON also hopes."

RACE 3: KRANJI STAKES D (2) (SET WEIGHTS) - 1000M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 19:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$38000

Larry says, "A weak KSD poly sprint and it might be a matter of how short COURT CASE starts in the betting. The 3YO obviously has ability but has raced greenly which has seen some fluctuating race form. But a trial with blinkers was good enough to suggest he improves with headgear added and happy to think he wins in this company. IMPERIAL BOY looks the obvious danger. The 4YO had issues last start (heart) and his previous form is easily good enough to win a race like this and must be respected. The race lacks depth but SUN MIRACLE has pace to burn and may look the winner late while TIME AFTER TIME will improve back on the Poly. DRAGON KING is the only last start winner in the race - in fact none of the other runners finished better than fifth - and has to be respected."

RACE 4: MAIDEN - 1100M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 19:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "A couple of horses that had excuses with bumping duels at the start and their most recent runs in PRETTY ELUSIVE and PREFERRED appeal in this maiden and not much separates the two on form. PRETTY ELUSIVE loses blinkers - that won't hurt - but more importantly gets Nunes and from gate 4 the pair should get all the favours. PREFERRED ran on well last start to place and you can expect much the same again with Vorster up with support likely. Of the rest that win without surprising, CONFACET has been very costly for followers but has to win one of these soon and CONFEIGN showed last start why he is always a show on the Poly while HEAVENLY GIFT and the emergency JOYOUS have to be considered."

RACE 5: CLASS 5 - 1800M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 20:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "VERGLATICA was racing in Group Company this time last year and I dare say you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that this Class 5 field has no champions involved. In saying that connections of VERGLATICA were probably being a tad ambitious and given he has only won twice in the last two years, he deserves to be in this grade. But he looks to have found some form and can win this. Who beats him? BIG BANKER broke his maiden status last start and gets to jump from gate 2 so has to be a show while another maiden in RAINBOW WARRIOR looks due although he has to jump from a very awkward gate. KING SAVINSKY with headgear added and HORAZ SAMOSIR the two others that win without surprising."

RACE 6: CLASS 5 (2) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 20:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "While a few horses come into this with improved runs under their respective belts, two horses in solid form and ready to win in SUPER EIGHT and SO PERFECT look the two to be on. Not much separates the two on paper but we like the fact that SO PERFECT gets a senior hoop in Manny Nunes and that always makes a difference. A strong recent trial is also a good indication he is ready to wins again. SUPER EIGHT has only one win to his name - and that was on the turf - but his recent form has him winning soon on any surface with regular hoop Oscar Chavez up. FLYING WINNER is a maiden but is due and has to be a show while EVERTRUST and OCEAN STORY improved last start and are both worth following."

RACE 7: CLASS 3 - 1000M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 21:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$80000

Larry says, "There are horses that just do too well over this trip not to be a winning hope in any race similar to this that they compete in. In fact CASTOR, HONEST TRUTH and DRAGON SPIRIT have some 17 wins over 1000m between them, which is a telling statistic. Of those three, CASTOR looks the best option - not by much though - but he does look due with Troy See up. However, BATTLE HORSE is a progressive type and might beat them all. The lightly raced 5YO had excuses last start (roarer) and should really wins races like this. Plenty of others that go close with SPEEDY DRAGON right in the mix, PROFESSOR X a good value option and like HONEST TRUTH, EATONS GOLD is in terrific winning form."

RACE 8: KRANJI STAKES D (1) (SET WEIGHTS) - 1000M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 21:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$38000

Larry says, "Hard to get enthused about this race but given it's a leg of the jackpot (or quaddie), we would really need to narrow the field down to one, two, three or four chances. Hopefully the ratings give us a guide as most the winning picks look at the top of the weights with BLUE MOON, HAPPY HAPPY, STORM TROOPER, SUPER BRILLIANT and SUPER JOY all in with a show. Of those, BLUE MOON broke through last start for his maiden win and he can go on with the job with gate 1 and a 4kg claim in his favour. SUPER BRILLIANT also looks well placed in KSD company and he should get support and run accordingly. But the race runs deeper than that and BELLUS WONDER and STOCK BROKER can both play a part in this finish."

12 5*00* Cheetah King   B App Ws Chan-3 L Khoo 8 41 55.0 * 100
Needs longer, easier and turf.

 

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

Larry says, "We are on KATAGAS last start and given he had excuses not to finish closer to the winner, we will stick with the Laurie Laxon-trained 5YO. He is honest - that's always handy in the lucky last - and Vlad Duric is in fine form so he must go close. KEEN DRAGON is also honest and looks due. The blinkers go off and that could be just the change of scenery he needs to win again. LIM'S SINCERE has had a short spell after a bad run and this race looks his caper so must be a winning hope while SAVAGE STORM is always a hope on the Poly. To make things tricky, IN BOCCA AL LUPA and the other emergency, SOON YI can win if they get a start while SPLENDOUR is versatile and goes close back in trip."
