10.20 p.m. R1 2 Lim's Rhythm (4 g Rock ‘N' Pop - Paixanito) - Vlad Duric; draws barrier 4 of 12 in the $20,000 Restricted Maiden 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 57.5kgs. He is dropping back from a mile and does require more distance.

10.50 p.m. R2 2 Axel (3 g Darci Brahma - Josephines Fortune) - Vlad Duric; draws well at barrier 2 of 11 in the $85,000 Restricted Maiden 1100 metres on the poly track and carries 57kgs. He is in very good form and a presents as a top three chance.

11.20 p.m. R3 3 Sacred Tonic (4 g Pour Moi - Fairy Tipsy) - Vlad Duric; two for the stable in this Maiden 1200 metres on the poly track where the first runner will jump from gate 7 of 11 starters and carries 58.5kgs.  It's his first start in Singapore, and he needs to improve on his form in New Zealand.

11.20 p.m. R3 9 Spokesman (4 g Alamosa - Panthera) - MM Firdaus (a1); the second runner for Mark Walker draws gate 8 of 11 in the $20,000 Maiden and carries 53.5kgs. He will be better suited in Class 5.

11.50 p.m. R4 1 Northern Knight (7 g Sir Percy - Pesky) - Razali Zawari (a1); will break from gate 7 of 12 in the $38,000 Kranji D 1600 metres on the poly track and carries 57kgs. Again ideally placed to rate a top four chance.
