Te Akau Singapore Friday Preview

Te Akau Singapore has nine horses racing on Friday 1 November at Kranji. Trainer Mark Walker leads the premiership by 18, with 70 wins this year.

11.50 p.m. R1 1 Aabir (5 g O'Reilly - Neraan) - Rawali Zawari (a1); drew barrier 9 of 11 in the $30,000 Class 5 1100 metres on the poly track and carries 58kgs. He is somewhat unpredictable, but he trialled nicely and rates a top four chance.

12.50 a.m. R3 6 Amazing Choice (5 g Shocking - Choices Are) - Benny Woodworth; drew barrier 5 of 8 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on turf and carries 51.5kgs. He will be better over more distance, but he has top four prospects if it rains. The first of two in the event for Mark Walker.

12.50 a.m. R3 8 Heart of Courage (5 g Fastnet Rock - Myrrh) - JP Van der Merwe; drew barrier 4 of 8 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on turf and carries 50kgs. Good fourth last start, but it is questionable if he can win in Class 4 and may need to drop a grade to again make his presence felt.

1.50 a.m. R5 6 Black Quail (6 g Coats Choice - Sefidi) - Alysha Collett; drew barrier 2 of 8 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on turf and carries 52kgs. He may be better suited dropping back to Class 5 - another race with two stable reps.

1.50 a.m. R5 8 Pearl King (7 g Iffraaj - Nuance) - JP
Van der Merwe; drew barrier 1 of 8 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on turf

2.50 a.m. R7 3 Sacred Accord (4 g O'Reilly - Chorus) - Benny Woodworth; drew barrier 5 of 9 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on turf on carries 56kgs. Having his first start in Singapore, he trialled nicely and has top four prospects - two for Mark Walker lining up in this.

Zabba) - Nizar Noor (a4); drew barrier 3 of 9 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200

a dangerous light-weight chance.

Dancer) - Alysha Collett; drew barrier 3 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1800

rates a place chance.
