RACE 5: GINGERBREAD MAN 2011 STAKES KRANJI STAKES C (SET WEIGHTS) - 2000M COURSE A (SC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 14:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$80000

Larry says, "A strong KSC featuring a number of horses that may have Derby aspirations. NEWLANDS has won four from nine (and two from two this campaign) and shows plenty of promise as he steps up in trip. ZIP A DEE DOO DAH won easily at this trip last start and shows plenty of promise; he should be hard to hold off. AIR FORCE ONE did too much early and tired late last start, he likes to roll along and if held together will be hard to pass. DA VINCI has been running on well and placed twice at this trip last preparation and could get in the finish. Of the others, ROCKFAST was run down late last start at his first try over 2000m, SMART LAD is rarely far away and SUNNY will be charging late."

RACE 6: BETTER THAN EVER 2010 STAKES OPEN STAKES (CONDITION WEIGHT) (RIDER ALLOWANCES NOT PERMITTED) - 1200M COURSE A (SC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 15:25 PRIZE MONEY: S$125000

Larry says, "An Open stakes over 1200m with a number resuming, many of whom will be searching for form. WIMBLEDON only battled in the Lion City but ran a huge race in the Kranji Sprint with the same weight as this; with Manoel Nunes to ride he should be in the finish. AFFLECK is resuming; he has struggled since his Guineas win but trialled nicely recently and could race well fresh. The stablemate DANIEL is also resuming, he won the Patiti Gold last preparation and can also race well fresh, watch for support. RAISE NO DOUBT is consistent and his recent trial was strong. He also has fitness on his side and with only 51kg, should be hard to hold out. Amongst the others EL PADRINO's best form is on the poly but he will enjoy the 53kg and could be charging home. CAVALLO bobs up every so often and if there is genuine speed he could close late. MY LUCKY STRIKE is yet to win on turf but has placed twice from five starts and could break through in this field."

RACE 7: GIVEN VISION 2009 STAKES KRANJI STAKES A (SET WEIGHTS) - 2000M COURSE A (SC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 15:55 PRIZE MONEY: S$125000

Larry says, "A strong race equivalent to a Group field. In these races Pat Shaw is often dominant and in this he has a full hand with five runners. Singapore's best stayer QUECHUA looks his top chance, he is resuming after his Fortune Bowl win, his recent trial was sound and he is suited at this trip; as always he will be hard to beat. FASTNET DRAGON may be the one to spoil Pat's day, he has put in two sound efforts over a mile since resuming, ran some excellent races last preparation in top company and this distance suits. Pat's second string is PERFECT P who put in a strong effort in the Fortune Bowl despite the saddle slipping; he is trialling nicely and could show up fresh. Yet another of Pat's chances IN FACT won the Moonbeam Vase last outing and has trialled well since; he runs on and can be in the finish. TWICKENHAM has yet to win beyond 1800m but will race handy and has the services of Vlad Duric. Of the others SEBROSE is honest, stays the trip and will be thereabouts, MIGHTY WARRIOR and LAUGHING GRAVY are both in good form but stepping up in grade."

RACE 8: THE HORNET 2008 STAKES CLASS 4 (2) - 1400M COURSE A (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 16:25 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "Plenty of depth to this Class 4 field and with so many horses in form and a couple of significant Class droppers, finding the winner will be tough. But there will be value on offer and hopefully DREAMWEAVER can turn his good form into a win at each-way odds. The Irish-bred gelding has shown more than enough at three starts in Singapore and given his last start effort in Graduation company over this trip, he must go close. The two Class droppers that come under notice are IKING and MY BROTHERS KEEPER. Both have been competitive in better company and with Nunes and Duric respectively booked, both can win without surprising. Too many others with winning hopes to mention but URASHIMA TARO looks a promising 3YO who wouldn't have been out of place in the Guineas, NORTH ATLANTIC ICE is always a show and SILENT ARROW could be the value pick."

RACE 9: SINGAPORE GUINEAS (SINGAPORE GROUP 1) (3 YEAR OLD) (SET WEIGHTS) (3RD LEG - SINGAPORE 3 YEAR OLD CHALLENGE) (RIDER ALLOWANCES NOT PERMITTED) - 1600M COURSE A (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 16:55 PRIZE MONEY: S$500000

Larry says, "While it's ever so tempting to try and find a "smoky" in these 3YO Group races, the Classic is the best guide. And given DEBT COLLECTOR made it three straight when winning at Group level at his last start, he picks himself and after drawing gate 4 with a mile no problem, he is hard to beat. In saying that you could make a case for a few of the horses that finished behind him over 1400m including the fast finishing NOVA STRIKE, the benchmark that is MAGNUM, PEER GYNT, MR SCORSESE and FITZROY. Of that bunch obviously the placegetters in NOVA STRIKE and MAGNUM appeal and should finish in the mix but FITZROY does look the biggest improver after drawing gate 2. INFANTRY also came through the Classic and is worth another look while the former Argentinean CYBORG backs up from winning at his Singapore debut last Sunday and may be the bolter."

RACE 10: LIM'S OBJECTIVE 2007 STAKES KRANJI STAKES D (SET WEIGHTS) - 1800M COURSE A (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 17:30 PRIZE MONEY: S$38000

Larry says, "An interesting KSD over 1800m in which three last start maiden winners all look like the types to go on with the job. At the top of the list is MURDOCH who won well when blinkers went on last start. That was over 1400m and the run suggests he will improve again over longer, which makes the 1800m ideal. The Japanese 3YO GOLAZO also looks like 1800m will suit after winning over the mile at his last start and his trainer, Hideyuki Takaoka, certainly knows a bit about this staying caper. GOLD RESERVE broke his maiden status in KSD company so picks himself with Noreesh Juglall staying onboard. Plenty of others win without surprising including GURU-GURU, TIGER BAY, DRAGON, GINSENG, MOLLY BROWNE and BLACK SWAN."

RACE 11: KELANTAN 2006 STAKES CLASS 4 (1) - 1400M COURSE A (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 18:00 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "The lucky last is just that given whoever wins may need all the help they can get, as will punters trying to find the winner. In fact all bar the struggling ALONSO have genuine winning hopes but given some of the likely good form from earlier races, GET GOING is the one to be on. Newlands could very well win in KSC Company over 2000m in race 7 and Little Big Man takes winning form into is in the $500,000 Singapore Guineas and given these two horses beat GET GOING over 1400m at his last two starts, he can win this. Too may others to mention but THE WIND will find this easier than the 3YO Classic and must be respected while O'WHAT A FEELING gives this a shake if right. Blanket over most others."
