Sunday 13 August

5.20 p.m. R2 6 SHAMROCK - Vlad Duric; the leading Singapore rider is aboard this Helmut 3YO bought by David Ellis who debuts for the Fortuna team today at Kranji. He takes his place in the S$75,000 Restricted Maiden 2&3YO WFA 1000m on the polytrack, breaking from the inside gate (1) with 57kgs on his back. Facing only seven opponents, he is a really nice 3YO type - a top four chance.

6.25 p.m. R1 2 DISCRETELY RED - App R Zawari (a2); after a lovely debut effort for third in Singapore, over a distance not entirely suitable, this son of Redwood is second up in the Open Maiden WFA 1200m on the polytrack. With a handy draw (3) in this field where he carries 55.5kgs with the apprentice claim, he squares off against 12 other runners and with a distance to suit - another selected and purchased by David Ellis - he looks a top four chance.

7.30 p.m. R6 6 FIRST LIGHT - Vlad Duric; one of three rides for the stable today, the top jockey will steer this 4YO having his second Singapore start in this second Open Maiden WFA 1200m on the polytrack. A 4YO by Duporth, he ran a solid race for fourth on debut and in this field of 11, shapes as a realistic top four chance.

8.35 p.m. R8 4 NORTHERN KNIGHT - Vlad Duric; the successful combination of Duric/Walker, both leading their respective Premierships in Singapore, teams up again in the Class 4 1600m on the polytrack for the raffles' team. The Sir Percy 6YO draws midfield, five of 10 and will carry 56.5kgs. He has been a touch disappointing this campaign but will be ridden more patiently to see if his performance improves.

9.45 p.m. R10 1 THE COSMOS - App R Zawari (a2); well over a nasty tooth extraction, this capable galloper bounced right back to winning form last night and looks to be competitive in the Class 4 1100m on the polytrack with 55kgs to carry and a lovely draw (4 of 11). He is in great form and presents as a top four chance.
