12.20 a.m. (Saturday) R4 1 QINGDAO - Vlad Duric; a quiet night by normal standards for the stable with three runners - the first is this 5YO Volksraad gelding lining up in the Open Maiden WFA 1200m on the polytrack. He has drawn well (4 of 9), has the top rider up with 57.5kgs but needs to lift to break maiden ranks here.

12.50 a.m. (Saturday) R5 4 DAZZLING SPEED - Vlad Duric; on debut in Singapore tonight, this 3YO by Guillotine raced in New Zealand as Gilhoolie and fashioned a handy record - winning one of eight starts but placing on five other occasions. He takes his place in the Class 4 Premier 1100m on the polytrack, where he will bounce from gate five of just eight starters. He is assigned 55.5kgs for his first Kanji start and he too will derive benefit from having the champion rider engaged - place chance.

1.20 a.m. (Saturday) R6 2 MOMENT OF JUSTICE - Vlad Duric; the final stable rep. tonight has drawn the ace for the Class 4 non-premier 1700m on the polytrack and will carry 58.5kgs. This 5YO returns to a class where he can be competitive - place chance.
