Meeting Preview

A stand-alone Friday meeting to start the Emirates Singapore Derby month of July and the mixed-surface meeting looks a good one for punters.

And nothing a punter loves more than a good hoop so great to see another quality jockey return from injury: this time, Michael Rodd.

It’s a fair assumption that the affable Aussie hoop has been enjoying the amazing Singapore cuisine while on leave with his four rides all at 58kg but they all look winning hopes including ARHAT in race 4.

The 4YO has been a model of consistency without winning and looks as good as chance as any in a wide-open affair.

Add last start winner LIKA TIGER (race 5), SAND BANK (race 6) and ANY RUMOUR (race 8) and Rodd might be again struggling to maintain his weight next weekend given a few celebratory dinners with happy owners.

He will have to be at his best though with the likes of fellow Aussies Beasley, Brown, Duric and Powell all having solid books of rides and a plethora of other international and local hoops to compete against.

Good jockeys equals good punting!

Best Bets: (LIGHTNING FAST race 2 win), (LIMS SINCERE race 3, win) and (QUEENS SEVEN race 1, value).

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

RACE 1: KRANJI STAKES D (1) (SET WEIGHTS) - 1400M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 18:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$38000

Larry says, "Not a lot of depth to the opener and as such, HIGH COUNCIL gets his chance to knock in another win. The 4YO's only win in Singapore was over this trip in Class 4 and given what he showed last start over 1200m in the same Class, he could be hard to beat in this Company over 1400m. Likewise, MARK ECLIPSE will grow a leg in KSD Company. The 5YO has looked to struggle since his maiden win but a recent good trial with a tongue-tie added coupled with an easier grade suggests he is the big improver. The only other two with genuine winning hopes are QUEEN'S COUNCIL who looks suited in this type of race and NOVA STAR who placed for the first time on the turf last start and should give a sight again."

RACE 2: RESTRICTED MAIDEN (2 AND 3 YEAR OLD) (WEIGHT FOR AGE) - 1100M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 18:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$75000

Larry says, "Again, we have a long look at the 2YO's who get into these Restricted Maidens with a featherweight and SKYWALK for trainer James Peters look the best of that bunch. The NZ-bred gelding looed to be doing it easy at a recent trial and while drawn badly on debut, he must be a chance with Vorster up. The other 2YO to watch on debut is SILKINO who has also trialled well and gets to jump from gate 3. But the horse they may all be trying to catch is the aptly named LIGHTNING FAST. The 3YO came in for heavy support on debut and given a strong recent trial, he is ready to win. Others that have the race form to win include NOVA MASTER who very much appreciates the nice gate today and will go close while MUSCULAR DRAGON is another who had plenty of support and debut and can improve to win this with blinkers added to his gear."

RACE 3: CLASS 4 - 1000M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 19:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "It will be interesting to see who punters make favourite in this race with heavy support likely for two runners in LIM'S SINCERE and MR LUCK. Interestingly, C Brown was on both LIM'S SINCERE and MR LUCK last start and the gun Aussie hoop sticks with MR LUCK in this Poly dash. However, a 3kg claimer onboard LIM'S SINCERE suggests they try to win this from go-to-whoa and happy to have the "Dester" horse on top. MR LUCK will appreciate being back on the Poly though and should figure heavily in both the betting and the finish. The two others with winning hopes that should be value are POWER LIN and BLACK MAGIC, while it will pay to keep the maiden KEYSTONE safe as his recent form is good."

RACE 4: OPEN MAIDEN (WEIGHT FOR AGE) - 1600M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 19:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "An extremely tough maiden and with so many winning hopes punters will be looking at race pace or track bias to see if swoopers are the order of the day. We are banking they do get a fair crack and the likes of GOOD DEAL, BLACK SWAN, HOLDING FAST and SWAN SONG all should figure late. Not much separates the quartet but GOOD DEAL was supported and went close last start and happy to follow. The race is so tough we have left out likely favourite - ARHAT - out of the top four picks but he should race on the pace and will look the winner at some stage in the straight. Others to include are PUSONG PINOY, AURA D'ORO and KEY ON KODIAC and good luck if you are playing exotics."

RACE 5: KRANJI STAKES D (SET WEIGHTS) - 1800M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 20:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$38000

Larry says, "The four fancies at the top of the ratings in this KSD event have all drawn well which suggests a fair fight all round. Starting from the top, BILLY BRITAIN gets Munro - who has won on him previously - and can take a sit midfield from gate 1 before making a play late. LIKA TIGER probably leads from gate 1 and given he won last start in Class 4, he looks in good enough form to carry more weight in this easier grade. SMART VANTAGE was given no chance last start from a wide gate so appreciates barrier 2 with Dan Beasley up. MIGHTY EMPEROR round out the top four and gets his chance from gate 4 on his preferred surface with regular hoop B Vorster to ride."

RACE 6: KRANJI STAKES D (2) (SET WEIGHTS) - 1400M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 20:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$38000

Larry says, "You can make a case for four or five of these runners with a line through the rest which will make it interesting for exotic players. Of those with genuine winning hopes, SAND BANK appeals. The 4YO has been in pretty good form and looks very well placed over this trip in this company with M Rodd from gate a 1 a factor. JUBILATION also has his foot on the till and looks an excellent hope with connections opting for a 4kg claimer with blinkers added for this. MIGHTY GLORY has drawn awkwardly but is due and PALTROW also looks ready to win again on her solid form since her maiden win. The each-way hope at odds is HOT GOLD with the tongue-tie removed over his best trip."

RACE 7: OPEN BENCHMARK 83 - 1400M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 21:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$100000

Larry says, "A very strong BM83 over 1400m with a few established smart ones up against some of the improving youth. And given two of the 3YO's involved are coming off strong wins we can start there. NOVA STRIKE won easily over the poly mile in BM74 after some strong efforts in the 3YO Series; he is yet to win on turf but is progressing through the grades and should get every chance with Manoel Nunes to ride. RAFAELLO has also been in good form since his Guineas failure and with no weight he could show up. Of the older brigade, A LA VICTORY found the class too strong last outing but is better suited here and with winkers back on should be in the finish. Both of the Shane Baertschiger runners FLAK JACKET and EL MILGARO have found it hard to win in recent times but this looks easier and they have strong chances. "

RACE 8: CLASS 4 - 1600M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 21:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "Another competitive affair, this one a Class 4 over 1600m with Mark Walker having a strong hand. STORM TROOPER has been running on well in this company over 1400m and with Manoel Nunes up, should appreciate the mile. The stablemate EN CIVIL was slowly away last start but his previous form was solid in this company and he may appreciate the strong riding of Olivier Placais. Stephen Gray also has a couple of live chances. The blinkers come off MR MOSA who has been close up at all three Singapore outings and he should appreciate the mile while the stablemate, BAHANA, has been racing well in this class at 1600m and may be helped by Amirul's claim. Both can win. ANY RUMOUR and RUM AND RAISINS are both racing consistently in the grade and from their good gates should be handy throughout. DA VINCI's form is poor but he will appreciate the drop in grade."

12 0*219 Joyous   P, TT Th Koh-2 S Lam 3 45 50.0 * 33
Won in Class 5 two starts back and better suited there.
13 33114 Falkirk Lead E1 B A Munro J O'hara 10 54 54.5 ** 20
Racing well in weaker company but has found a strong race.
14 45214 Black Thunder E2   Unfixed H Takaoka 9 53 54.0 * 20
Battled on well last start after Initiation win over this trip. Might want easier.

 

RACE 9: CLASS 4 - 1200M COURSE D (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 22:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "A Class 4 where the depth falls away after the top five in the weights. NOVA SPIRIT rises 3.5kg after a solid win in this company last start but he is consistent, Manoel Nunes stays on and he should race well again. OPTIMUS returned lame last start but his previous form was solid; he is well drawn and Danny Beasley should have him handy throughout. STARSHINE only battled last start after a good Maiden win but he is nicely drawn and should get a good run with Alan Munro to ride. Of the others, CORDOBA gets back on to his winning surface, STICK SEEKER has been trialling well, SUN PIONEER is rarely far away but his best form is on the poly and HEAVENLY HAND might b the improver at odds with blinkers added."
