RACE 1: MAIDEN - 1600M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 18:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "A moderate maiden to start Friday night racing in Singapore but SILVER TYCOON may make the early trip to Kranji worthwhile. The 4YO has looked due and given what he showed last start in KSD Company, he can win in this field with Munro up and gate 2 a bonus. One horse that may be value is ASTRO MAN. The 4YO showed enough last start after a solid trial to think he is going along OK and his recent good hit out at the trials suggests he could show up here. The next two obvious picks are SWAN SONG who will be working into this late with Manny Nunes up and AUSONE who gets blinkers and G Boss so expect him to be prominent throughout. Keep the emergency, CONFACET, very safe as the step up to the mile looks ideal and his form is better than most."

RACE 2: RESTRICTED MAIDEN (2 AND 3 YEAR OLD) (WEIGHT FOR AGE) - 1000M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 18:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$75000

Larry says, "At the Restricted maiden WFA conditions, 2YO's always get a look in and given some handy trial form you would think DRAGON MASTER and STAY WITH ME could win this. STAY WITH ME is making his debut with connections opting for the 49kg option in this race. His trials have been very good and with popular lightweight hoop Barend Vorster from gate 1, he must go close. DRAGON MASTER has race experience under his belt - a solid outing behind Jupiter Gold - and his subsequent trial suggests he gives this a shake. Of the 3YO raced brigade, both AMAZING MAN and DOMINATE have shown speed so they get their chance over 1000m which should be ideal. Market guide on the rest."

RACE 3: CLASS 5 (1) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 19:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "Some interest in this Class 5 Poly sprint with a couple of maidens looking to break their ducks. In particular MISS WAIMATAITAI has her foot on the till and looks very well placed here to win. Nunes jumps on and from the fair gate she gets her chance. SMART INVESTMENT broke his maiden status last start over 1000m (at odds) and given he finished that race off well, he should be well suited with M Rodd up over 1200m and winning form is good form. Of the rest, BANKERS CALL is always a chance in races like this while NATURAL NICE and APPELLATION both are in form over 1400m on the turf and win soon so worth a look with WHITE COFFEE also a solid each-way option."

RACE 4: CLASS 5 - 1900M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 19:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "The usual suspects over two turns of the Poly and CLERMONT CLUB looks hardest to beat after drawing gate 1. The 6YO had been biding his time over shorter distances before having a decent crack last week over 1700m and wins sooner than later with Nunes up today. SUPER VELOX could be the big danger. The only jockey that has found the winning formula on SUPER VELOX was Glen Boss and the Aussie champ is back on-board today which all bodes well for another result. The maiden EASTERN TOWKAY also looks due to knock in a win and the 3YO has certainly shown Class 5 is his caper. PINYIN is always a chance in races like this and is often the value runner so pay to follow each-way."

RACE 5: KRANJI STAKES C (SET WEIGHTS) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 20:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$80000

Larry says, "Tough race with too many horses with solid Poly form under their belt to be confident. However, THE GENERAL does look well placed back on the Poly and looks a good option. The 4YO also gets blinkers back on and given all three wins in Singapore have been on the Poly, he could be hard to beat with a nice recent trial also a pointer. But you can make a case for most others including RICH FORTUNE who struggled at 3YO Group Company last start but looks a lively chance on his good Poly form prior and REACH FOR THE SUN is always a good option on the Poly. Add SECRET MISSION, ROYAL FORTUNE and ROSELLI as winning hopes and do your best in any exotic combinations."

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

Larry says, "As you would expect in any Class 5 division 2 race, the field lacks depth. This is no exception and as such a horse that did promise to show much more than he has in GADAWON gets his chance. The 5YO has won only once from some 26 career starts but has placed nine times suggesting he has more to offer than Class 5. But Class 5 it is and with blinkers on and John Powell up, he can win. We hope he can win anyway. FLAMING FIREHEART is another that doesn't win out of turn but finds himself in the right race and could even go off favourite in this field given what he showed last start. SACRED CROWN, LAM EDITION and AMI ELEVEN also placed last start in races with varying degrees of quality but all can win with the market a good guide."

RACE 7: KRANJI STAKES B (SET WEIGHTS) - 1000M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 21:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$100000

Larry says, "At a quick glance there are some 38 1000m Poly wins between eight or so of runners in the 11 horse field which suggests a few of the connections will be confident of a win. And none more confident than the SPEEDY DRAGON connections after the 4Y0 American-bred gelding smashed them at his last start. That was his fifth win from some 11 starts and given that strong display, he could be hard to beat in this. NOVA WARRIOR will keep him super honest though. The 4YO has six wins from 13 starts suggesting he is no slouch and from gate 2 he will get the favours. And one favour should be a sit behind SOUTHERN BOSS who jumps from gate 1. And while we often leave SOUTHERN BOSS out of calculations, they would not want to give him any leeway out front as he is going pretty good at the minute. GREAT SUN, SEBAS and BELLWETHER all winning shows in a race that suits."

RACE 8: KRANJI STAKES D (SET WEIGHTS) - 1100M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 21:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$38000

Larry says, "A few horses that are "hard to catch" in this race but STIRLING is honest enough to think he wins in this company sooner than later. He has drawn gate 10 but given he just missed last start there is no reason to think he can't follow the speedy IMPERIAL BOY over from gate 9 and win this for G Boss. As mentioned, IMPERIAL BOY has the pace to lead from the wide alley and he will enjoy being back on the Poly and can also win. INVINCIBLE MAN is the big danger though. The 4YO's form looks ordinary but he had issues last start (roarer) and finds himself in a suitable race to show his best. Not many others jump off the page but SUPER JOY goes OK on his day while ALOHA, BELLUS WONDER, JOHN DUKE, DRAGON KING and MOTHER NATURE all play a part if having a good day."

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

Larry says, "As usual a very competitive Class 4 sprint to finish the night and while it may be good money after bad, we think TERMS OF REFERENCE can show his best and win. The 3YO has a very good Poly record winning three times over 1200m and given he was never in the hunt last start, he can bounce back and win this. He also has form around Nova Warrior as does the seemingly out of form GOLDEN TOMAHAWK who may be the forgotten horse in this field. The 4YO also has a very good Poly record and given his last three average starts were on the turf, he improves lengths back on the Poly with gate 1 a factor. Obviously the two last start winners in SATELLITE BOY and DUTY FIRST are in form and win again without surprising while NOVA SPIRIT and LADY IFFRAAJ are also in the mix."
