Six races from Singapore on Sunday with the undoubted highlight race 10 on the card, the Group 3 Woodlands Handicap. 

The $200,000 Polytrack feature looks a terrific race on paper with BETTER BE THE ONE heading the ratings but it is the ‘re-match’ between YIN XIN and MR BIG that punters will be wanting to see. 

The pair met under similar circumstances two weeks back over 1100m when Joao Moreira on YIN XIN took the honours. 

But a slight pull in the weights and a determined and in-form Stephen Baster on-board MR BIG could see a reversal of the placings over 1200m. 

Like the last time they met, the punters will back them both and expect nothing between them on the dividend board and at the finish. 

Elsewhere on the card there might be some value about with ROYAL STYLE in race nine on the card after the SAXON 4YO finally gets to jump from a nice gate. 

Best Bets; ROYAL STAR (race 9, each-way), CITY LAD (race 12, each-way) and JOYLUCK (race 11, value). 

Bankers for Jackpots: Race 9 (1, 9 and 11), race 10 (2 and 3), race 11 (1, 4, 6 and 7) and race 12 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9).

RACE 7: OPEN BENCHMARK 89 - 1600M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 15:55 PRIZE MONEY: S$95000

Larry says, "This race is tough. So tough that only a win by ACE ALPHABET would surprise. JERAM GLORY is a horse with a lot of upside as a 4YO and although up against some handy horses in this field, he should have the class to carry 50kg and win. The one gate always helps over a mile on the inner track and no reason to think he doesn't make amends for a couple of close up placings with support of late. From the youngest horse in the race to the oldest; SUPERCZAR. The 9YO has won nine times in what has been a very good career and looks extremely well placed here to knock in that elusive tenth win. Throw a blanket over the rest with the likely improver being HEAD START and perhaps JOYFUL HEART MAN at long odds. "

RACE 8: CLASS 5 (3) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 16:25 PRIZE MONEY: S$35000

Larry says, "Only one horse in this field comes into this race with a placing at his last start. An apprentice hoop was queried (nothing in it ref!) on the run. Joao Moreira goes on board. He draws gate two. It's not Rocket science. The horse in question is ZAC STAR DESTROYER and while too short to be a good punting option, looks the only one to have on top. The race has no depth and plenty of non winners but usually someone stands up and you may want to consider the likes of NEWFOUNDFAME, COFFEE KID and nine-time winner DAN NOBLE with YF Leong back in the saddle. SUN ENTERPRISE the improver back in trip and DISTINCT NICHE goes well on his day. Now, where's the bar?"

RACE 9: CLASS 4 (1) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 16:55 PRIZE MONEY: S$55000

Larry says, "Some nice form from most of the horses in this Class 4 event ensures a good punting race and an interesting one given a couple of the hopes, WARRIOR and TENUPONTEN are maidens fighting (you would assume) out of their depth. But both look well enough placed after good runs at their respective last starts with WARRIOR appreciating his debut effort and Moreira on-top today and TENUPONTEN having the benefit of the ace draw. But it is another horse that should make use of a better gate today in ROYAL STYLE who looks the one to beat. The SAXON 4YO brings in very solid form into this race and given the awkward (at best) gates he has had to jump from of late, he can win from barrier 3. A claim helps and with the depth in this race he might be a terrific each-way option. In saying that, SHINING GLORY has shown at his last couple that he wins very soon in Class 4 and probably deserves to be favourite and the one the others have to beat. Perhaps a forecast/exacta/swinger is in order but it will also pay to respect the likes of DEN, VOLKOV, TOUGH RULER and HUMOUR TOWN in what is a very good race."

RACE 10: WOODLANDS HANDICAP (SG3) (3YO'S & ABOVE) (RIDER ALLOWANCES NOT PERMITTED) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 17:25 PRIZE MONEY: S$200000

Larry says, "While it would be unwise to discount any horse in this solid Group 3 field, the winner should come from either YIN XIN or MR BIG. In fact the two can continue their good battle from their 'match-race' two weeks ago and again, not much between the two. But while we were confident about YIN XIN winning last start, a couple of small but important factors have MR BIG getting the gong today. A slight pull in the weights is one - a 1.5kg swing counts of plenty at this level - and the extra 100m could also play into MR BIG's favour as Stephen Baster may stalk his rival after drawing outside YIN XIN (gate 3) in gate 5. But while it's a toss of the coin and could well turn into a match race again, a case could be made for most - if not all - the other horses with BETTER BE THE ONE good enough to carry 57kg and win on his day and the likes of SPEEDY CAT or WON’T STOP some hope. Great race but MR BIG to bounce back - narrowly."

RACE 11: CLASS 4 (2) - 1600M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 18:00 PRIZE MONEY: S$55000

Larry says, "With two wins, five seconds and the odd third from just eight career starts, it's safe to say SOLITAIRE is a pretty honest type. And while costly for followers and favourite backers at his last couple, the Polytrack looks in his favour (both wins on this surface) as does the mile from gate three with a claim so hard to beat. Last start winner, WARSPIRIT, will also be backed with Joao Moreira on-board but with not much form on the Poly and a bad gate to contend with, he could be the lay-of-the-day. Horses that will provide value and love this surface/trip are JOYLUCK and SKY PROTEGE - both worth serious each-way looks and SURPRISE SURPRISE also worth some thought on solid form with a nice gate and Dan Beasley in the saddle."

RACE 12: CLASS 4 (2) - 1200M (POLYTRACK) TIME: 18:30 PRIZE MONEY: S$55000

Larry says, "Expect the punters to unload on IRISH COFFEE in the 'get-out-of-jail-stakes'. And rightly so. The Steve Burridge-trained 4YO was narrowly beaten last start in a similar affair and placed second at his previous Poly start over this trip. Joao Moreira goes on from a good gate and that adds up to an odds-on starting price but obviously can win. But a horse that can win and might sneak out to value given the support for IRISH COFFEE is CITY LAD. The 4YO is first up after a pretty good run in the Group 1 Singapore Guineas and looks ready to show his best first up with a handy 3kg claim and nice enough gate in his favour. The race has depth though and it will pay to keep both GOOD BUDDY and SACRED SPRING (first up) very safe with one eye on the market. If it gets silly early then watch out for the likes of DANNY and GUIDED LIGHT who are both in form and back in trip with the market the only guide for the Michael Freedman-trained newcomer, LUXURIOUS CHOICE."
