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

Larry says, "A Class 5 with plenty of depth opens the meeting and we can expect five or so runners to come in for support. CERDAN is a maiden who can be a handful, but his recent efforts for G Boss suggests he wins soon and gate 5 helps off the back of a nice trial has him under notice. GENIUS is the interesting runner. The 4YO wasn't far away when blinkers went on and the switch to a senior jockey in N Juglall back on the Poly looks a very good combination. Plenty of others win without surprising including CERDAN's stalemate, ALAN, who had issues last start (heart/not striding) who wins this type of race sooner than later while BEST JADE, MR PATRON and LEADERSHIP all finish in the mix on best form over this trip and track. Can't leave out DRAGON GOLD on recent winning form and obviously go wide in exotics."

RACE 2: RESTRICTED MAIDEN (2 AND 3 YEAR OLD) (WEIGHT FOR AGE) - 1200M COURSE A (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 18:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$75000

Larry says, "Tricky maiden with a couple of nice enough types resuming and a couple of newcomers to keep pundits on their toes. There are also some gear changes to contend with including ATHENA who is first up after a very promising 2YO campaign. The filly placed in the Golden Horseshoe and was not far away in the Juvenile Championship and that form will hold up here with a tongue-tie added for good measure. On recent form the horse to beat is COMMANDO ECLIPSE. His two runs this campaign suggests he wins soon and gets his chance with winkers added. Of the rest, OPTIMUM STAR led last start over 1400m and could run a very cheeky race from gate 1 while SUCCESS COME TRUE could also run a very forward race with a tongue-tie added. Market best guide on the two newcomers in LIM'S PERSHING and WITHOUT PREJUDICE."

RACE 3: CLASS 4 (2) - 1200M COURSE A (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 19:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "Not an overly strong Class 4 and as such a last start strong maiden winner in CHALAZA could be hard to beat. The 4YO was more than solid when placing at his race debut behind Major Tom before winning very well as the even money favourite at start two. In fact he could be one of the better winning chances on the card given nothing else jumps off the page to beat him. MILLENNIUM'S RULE resumes after a good run of form that suggested he wins in Class 4 sooner than later. The 4YO gelding hasn't set the world on fire at recent trials but looks an honest type who is suited first-up over 1200m. Of the rest, BE BOLD is always an each-way show and will keep CHALAZA honest while ELISE, RUSTY BROWN, EL CAMINO and OCEAN MASTER all come under consideration in exotics. Market best guide on the maiden newcomer from France, TITAN FIGHTER, who has trialled well locally."

RACE 4: MAIDEN - 1700M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 19:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "SACRED ARMY looks the one to be on in this weak maiden but followers may be a tad gun-shy given the 4YO is overdue for a result for the support he gets. In saying that, it's hard to fault his endeavor and 1700m on the Poly could be what he needs with gate 3 a bonus. RED RIDING WOOD looks the obvious danger. The 3YO has shown more than enough improvement at his last two starts on the turf to think he can show up on the Poly with G Boss to ride. BIG REGARDS could be the value. The Darci Brahma-gelding has been crying out for more ground and gets his chance stepping up to 1700m with best work expected late. ANGHIARI the only other that wins on best form - he has a Poly mile placing to his name - and market best guide."

RACE 5: OPEN BENCHMARK 67 - 1800M COURSE A (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 20:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "Plenty of solid form to go on in this BM67 event over 1800m but PREDITOR looks extremely well placed to show his best and win. The 4YO arrived in Singapore from NZ with a solid staying reputation and his form at Kranji has been very good. You would think he improves again stepping up to 1800m and he should settle better with blinkers removed from gate 3. The interesting runner is DUKE OF NORMANDY. Formally Air Force One, the 5YO has raced off the pace at his last four starts and given the intention last start was to race handy, he should race on the pace here which certainly looks his caper. KEEP SPINNING also looks well suited stepping up to 1800m with a solid first-up run under his belt and he wins a race like this without surprising. The race has depth though, so keep the emergency CORDOBA safe at odds with POLITCS likely to improve with racing under his belt."

RACE 6: CLASS 5 (2) - 1400M COURSE A (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 20:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "As the division (2) and Class (5) suggests, the race is ordinary at best. But in saying that, there are enough in solid enough form in similar affairs to make it interesting. MEAISIN just missed last start over 1400m and looks hardest to beat. A lot of the chances have come through the same Magic Paint form but MEAISIN should get the favours for G Boss from gate 2 and hard to hold out. Others that come through the same Magic Paint race with winning hopes here include EVERTRUST, PEREGRINE FALCON and ROAN RANGER while NATURAL NICE was close up to Magic Paint on a more recent occasion. But GOOD LUCKY might beat them all. The 4YO beat NATURAL NICE two starts back and raced well at his next start. But his recent trial looked good enough to win this with S John staying on board."

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

Larry says, "CONSTANT JUSTICE hit the ground running in Singapore and looks hard to beat in this Class 3 Poly sprint. The 4YO arrived with a solid race record of two wins from seven starts back in Australia but has doubled that win tally at his five runs at Kranji. He also come off a very nice trial and more importantly, his two wins were with Nunes onboard and the Brazilian will be hoping he continues that wining run in what is a suitable race. He has two Group winners to beat in CONFLIGHT and MYSTIC MASTER. Yes, the 3YO Sprint winner CONFLIGHT was disappointing when resuming but will appreciate the run and the Poly where he has a good record. MYSTIC MASTER - who won the Juvenile Championship - has shown he is competitive at they level and should figure somewhere. MR LUCK one to watch first up after a spell with the market a good guide."

RACE 8: CLASS 5 (1) - 1400M COURSE A (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 21:50 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "Truth be told you could box the six favourites in a trifecta or trio in this race and still not have one that finishes in the top three. Which obviously suggests the field has depth and good luck if you can find the winner. But there will be value about and a horse like SILK ROUTE could run a big race dropping to Class 5 after some solid form in better Company. Likewise, JOYOUS will appreciate being back into Class 5 over his favourite trip and ALPHANOVA will also find Class 5 a tad easier than Maiden Company and can win. LAND BELOW D WIND is also a maiden and could be prominent throughout from gate 2. Others that look suited to win include ASTRO MAN, ELHAAME, Q NINE MAGIC, MISS STREISAND and GRAND VITESS."

RACE 9: CLASS 4 (1) - 1200M COURSE A (LC) (TURF TRACK) TIME: 22:20 PRIZE MONEY: S$60000

Larry says, "Nothing jumps off the page in the lucky last and that might give COURT CASE a chance for another turf win. The 4YO is honest but struggled to win on the Poly so the switch to turf two starts back has looked a good move. An interesting runner is LIM'S OPERATION. The 3YO broke his maiden status last start and no reason to think that form won’t hold up in Class 4 with Harry Kassim to ride. ZIPPY GENERAL had excuses last start and that effort has him under notice with G Boss a good booking. Of the rest, PALTROW is honest and is always an each-way hope while the Le Grange pair of ARIF and VERBAL LINK should race well at their respective Singapore debuts with nice trials a pointer."
