Friday 7 October

11.20 p.m. R1 10 ELHAAME - Oscar Chavez; first stable runner for the evening kicks off in this Open Maiden WFA 1000m on the polytrack where he draws gate seven and will carry 52kgs.  On debut, he faces a field of 10 starters and looks well placed in this field - a top three chance.

1.20 a.m. (Saturday) R5 1 LIM'S KNIGHT - Danny Beasley; joint top weight in this field of 12, he has a nasty draw (11) to overcome in the Class 4 1200m on the polytrack where he carries 58kgs.  This last start winner has shown plenty of ability in Singapore but the wide draw and top weight makes it tough - he still rates a top four chance on ability .

1.50 a.m. (Saturday) R6 7 CLERMONT CLUB - Shafiq Rizuan; the first of two in this Class 5 over 1600m on the polytrack, he has drawn best of the duo (2) and carries 54.5kgs.  He finds a suitable race here and from the nice draw, rates a top four chance. 

1.50 a.m. (Saturday) R6 9 DOUBLE JEOPARDY - Barend Vorster; the second stable rep. has drawn nine of 12 and carries just 51kgs.  He is still trying to win a race in Singapore and has been somewhat disappointing - a place chance.

2.50 a.m. (Saturday) R8 4 KEEN DRAGON - App Z Razali (a2); dropping to 54.5kgs with the apprentice claim, this 6YO draws well (5) for the Class 4 1200m on the polytrack.  One of two in this for the stable, he has disappointed so far this preparation but he has had a few excuses - so an outside place chance.

2.50 a.m. (Saturday) R8 14 STARSKY - TBA; sitting second on the ballot (although the first ballot has received entry due to a scratching) thus he is an unlikely starter.  Drawn 11 of 12, he is weighted at 51kgs.

3.20 a.m. (Saturday) R9 PURE JUSTICE - App Z Razali (a2); one of three for Mark Walker, with two definite starters in this Class 4 1000m on the polytrack, he has unfortunately drawn 12 of 12 but with the apprentice claim carries 55kgs.  He has had a few breathing issues since arriving in Singapore and he will be ridden off the speed to see if he improves.

3.20 a.m. (Saturday) R9 5 FINE CHOICE - Shafiq Rizuan; the second starter for the stable has the plum ace draw and carries 54kgs.  He was scratched last time with a wither abscess, from which he is now well recovered.  He has drawn nicely but there is a lack of Kranji D races around at the moment so he has to try and measure up to Class 4 company.

3.20 a.m. (Saturday) R13 UNSURPASSED - App MM Firdaus (a2); sitting first on the ballot, he has drawn gate two and carries 48.5kgs with the apprentice allowance however he looks unlikely to gain a start.  That's a shame as he has a good draw and would have been a strong lightweight chance had he made the field.
