Friday May 8
10.20 p.m. R1 2 Fast Rich (3 g Iffraaj - Miss Downey) - Shafiq Rusof (a1); drew barrier three of fourteen (12 run) in the $35,000 Maiden 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 57.5kgs. Training well since his last start second, ideally drawn and can finish first four in a field where Jubilation (No.3) appears hardest to beat - one of two in the race for Te Akau.
10.20 p.m. R1 4 Deluge (3 g Guillotine - Flood) - Manoel Nunes; drew barrier six of fourteen (12 run) in the $35,000 Maiden 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 57kgs. He all but won last week and appears a first four chance with the top rider remaining aboard.

12.20 a.m. (Saturday) R5 3 Dreamcatcher (6 g Occidental Tourist - Camilla) - Shafiq Rusof (a1); drew barrier twelve of fourteen (12 run) in the $38,000 Kranji D 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 57kgs. Looking to slide forward from the wide gate, he always tries hard and rates a first four chance with a few favours in the running - one of two in the race for Te Akau.
12.20 a.m. (Saturday) R5 7 Zac Command (7 g Ishiguru - Dominica) - Rawali Zawari; drew barrier nine of fourteen (12 run) in the $38,000 Kranji D 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 53.5kgs. Racing very honestly he rates a top four chance if able to secure a decent passage.

1.20 a.m. (Saturday) R7 6 Eatons Gold (6 g Jet Spur - Road Ranger) - Shafiq Rusof (a1); drew barrier ten of fourteen in the $80,000 Class 3 1000 metres on the poly track and carries 53kgs. Up in grade after a pleasing first up victory, intentions are to sit off a fast pace and finish strongly into the first four.

1.50 a.m. (Saturday) R8 14 Fiscal Wings (6 g Fusaichi Pegasus - Cashier) - Choon Ng (a4); is the second emergency and unlikely to gain a start in $38,000 Kranji D 1200 metres on the poly track.

2.20 a.m. (Saturday) R9 9 Dr Octopus (4 g Perfectly Ready - Kalapana Black) - Choon Ng (a4); drew barrier ten of fourteen (12 run) in the $60,000 Class 4 1000 metres on the poly track and carries 48.5kgs. Resuming from a wide gate, in quite a tough field, he could still produce a cheeky effort under the light weight.
