Te Akau horses racing at Kranji Racecourse in Singapore, where 2015 Trainers' Premiership winner Mark Walker lies third on the Trainers' Premiership - now with 46 wins since 1 January.

Friday 19 August

11.20 p.m. R3 2 ROC THAT - Manuel Nunes; he faces a field of 10 starters, has drawn barrier five and carries 57.5kgs in this Class 4 1200m on the turf short course D.  He is still acclimatising and will need more distance - a rough place chance.

11.50 p.m. R4 11 HORAZ SAMOSIR - App CK Ng (a3)Oli; she will jump from barrier five in this 12 strong Class 5 1200m event on the turf short course D and with the apprentice allowance carries just 51.5kgs.  She is a 7YO mare now and maybe her best days are behind her and will soon be heading to Malaysia to race.

12.20 a.m. (Saturday) R5 9 LADY IFFRAAJ - Manuel Nunes; this very consistent Fortuna galloper has drawn barrier seven and carries just 53kgs for the top rider.  In this Class 4 over 1100m on the polytrack, she faces a strong grade but she is going honest races - a top four chance.

1.20 a.m. (Saturday) R7 1 ROCKFAST - Olivier Placais; the first of two runners for Mark Walker in this S$100,000 Open Benchmark 83 1400m on the turf short course D.  The third placegetter in the recent Group 1 Singapore Derby has drawn nicely (2) and carries 57kgs.  He has been freshened since that good Derby run - 1400m here will be a bit short unless it rains but we are looking to the future - place chance.

1.20 a.m. (Saturday) R7 6 VIVIANO - Manuel Nunes; the second stable rep. is raced by the Raffles' Racing team and has also drawn well (3) but carries 53.5kgs, 3.5kgs better off at the weights than his stablemate.  He is going for the hat trick but faces a jump up in class - however he is in good form - a top four chance.

2.20 a.m. (Saturday) R9 1 ASPREY - Manuel Nunes; the final stable runner tonight has drawn the ace (1) and carries the top weight of 58kgs. He has been racing a bit greenly so Mark has changed his gear around ad he wears visor blinkers - a top four chance.
