Te Akau Singapore Friday Preview

Te Akau horses racing at Kranji Racecourse in Singapore, where 2015 Trainers' Premiership winner Mark Walker lies third on the Trainers' Premiership - now with 65 wins since 1 January.

Friday 11 November

11.20 p.m. R1 7 STARSKY - Alan Munro; Has drawn 12 of 12 in the Class 5 1200m on the turf long course E and will carry 57kgs.  He drops to Class 5 here but has drawn the outside barrier so that makes his task difficult - place chance.

11.50 p.m. R2 2 BIG REGARDS - Shafiq Rizuan; carries 57kgs and has drawn nicely (5) in this S$75,000 Restricted 2&3YO Maiden WFA 1400 on the turf long course E.  This son of Darci Brahma, multiple-time Singapore Champion sire, showed a nice improvement for fifth last start and in this small field of only seven runners, he will improve with his next preparation.

12.20 a.m. (Saturday) R3 3 LIM'S SHOT - Danny Beasley; a field of 12 for this Maiden 1200m on the polytrack, in which he jumps from gate 10 and carries 57kgs.  A Showcasing 4YO who went a very nice race for second on debut at Kranji, he has improved since then and should be hard to beat.

12.50 a.m. (Saturday) R4 2 DANZEB - Shafiq Rizuan; not only two Mark Walker runners here but both raced by the same ownership.  The first in this S$65,000 Initiation 4YO+Below WFA 1100m on the polytrack has drawn best (4) and will carry 57.5kgs for his debut.  He has been a bit of a “problem child” in the barriers and will improve with experience.

12.50 a.m. (Saturday) R4 11 HAYTHAM - Oscar Chavez; the second for the stable has drawn well enough, jumping from barrier six in the 12-strong line-up and weighted with just 52.5kgs.  His last start, second up, saw him produce a good effort for third - he has been going nice races - a top four chance.

1.20 a.m. (Saturday) R5 6 COURT CASE - Shafiq Rizuan; again two runners for Mark Walker and with the first, this very capable galloper, put a line through his last start disappointment as his prior form shows he is much better than that.  Tonight he has drawn four of 12 and will carry 55kgs in the Class 4 1200m on the polytrack.  He is unpredictable at times but is very capable nonetheless of a top four chance.

1.20 a.m. (Saturday) R5 13 VRAAD - App CK Ng (a3); the second for the stable currently sits one on the ballot - if he makes the field, he will only 49.5kgs with the apprentice claim and will start from gate five.  If he got a start he would be a dangerous lightweight chance.

2.20 a.m. (Saturday) R7 1 DAMON - App Y Salim (a3); the first of three runners in this Class 4 1700m on the polytrack - giving Mark Walker a dominant hand a field of only ten starters.  This very consistent son of O'Reilly has drawn the ace and will enjoy three kilos off his back with the apprentice up, now weighted with 55kgs.  He steps out on the polytrack for the first time but he's in good form - a top four chance.

2.20 a.m. (Saturday) R7 6 STAR STRIKE - Shafiq Rizuan; the second stable rep. draws well also (3) and will carry only 53kgs.  He has been in solid form and rates a lightweight chance.

2.20 a.m. (Saturday) R7 7 CLUTHA LAD - App CK Ng (a3); the last of the trio isn't far from dropping back in Class which should suit him more.  A son of Thorn Park who has earned over S$300,000 for his owners, he draws the outside gate but won't know he has a jockey up, with only 48.5kgs to carry.

3.20 a.m. (Saturday) R9 8 ROC THAT - Shafiq Rizuan; twelve starters in this Class 4 1200m on the politick where this NZ owned horse draws gate three and carries 53.5kgs.  He will need to improve on what he has shown since arriving in Singapore - this is his last run with Malaysia on the programme if he doesn't step up tonight.
