Te Akau Singapore has 19 horses racing on Saturday 11 July at Kranji. 

Trainer Mark Walker ended last season (Dec. 8) with 73 wins to claim his third title as Singapore Champion Trainer, and currently one behind in second with 21 wins this year. 

4.30 p.m. R2 13 Brutus  (3 g Rubick - Harvest Queen) - unfixed; drew barrier 11 of 12 in the $75,000 Restricted Maiden 1100 metres on the poly track and carries 57kgs. He is first emergency and unlikely to gain a start, but does look each way if able to make the field.

5.00 p.m. R3 6 Hadeer (4 g Savabeel - A Real Princess) - Ruan Maia; drew barrier 8 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1000 metres on the poly track and carries 55.5kgs. A nice horse having his first start in Singapore. 1000 metres could be a touch short, but he trialled well and rates a top four chance.

5.30 p.m. R4 1 Ronaldo's Dream  (3 g Darci Brahma - Sweet Dreams Baby) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a4); drew barrier 6 of 12 in the $75,000 Restricted Maiden 1100 metres on the poly track and carries 53kgs. A capable galloper having his first start in Singapore, he requires more distance but can fill a place with a cheeky first up effort.

6.30 p.m. R6 6 Quick Shosha  (3 g Snitzel - Leinan) - Ruan Maia; drew barrier 9 of 12 in the $20,000 Maiden 1000 metres on the poly track and carries 57kgs. Another having his first start in Singapore, he rates a place chance but will be better over more distance in due course.

6.30 p.m. R6 13 Showbound (3 g Showcasing - Midnight Senorita) - unfixed; drew the outside barrier (12) in the $20,000 Maiden 1000 metres on the poly track and carries 57kgs. He is first emergency and is unlikely to gain a start, but looks a place chance if able to make the field. 

7.00 p.m. R7 1 Admiral Winston  (3 g Declaration of War - Montclair) - Benny Woodworth; drew 9 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1000 metres on the poly track and carries 59kgs. This three year old has sown ability and was in good form prior to lockdown - he presents as a top four contender.

7.00 p.m. R7 5 Try Mak Mak (3 g Makfi - Shamabelle) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a4); drew 3 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1000 metres on the poly track and carries 54.5kgs. He is deally drawn (4), enjoys maximum weight relief, and is a top four chance.

7.00 p.m. R7 14 Barbarian  (3 g Redoute's Choice - Fume Blanc) - unfixed; drew the outside barrier (14) in the $30,000 Class 5 1000 metres on the poly track and carries 55.5kgs. He sits two on the ballot and is unlikely to gain a start.

7.30 p.m. R8 5 Clarton Palace  (4 g Minstrel Court - Zabba) - CK Ng (a3); drew barrier 7 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 51kgs. He is better suited to more distance and racing on the turf.

8.00 p.m. R9 2 Hidden Promise (7 g Postponed - Promissory) - Vlad Duric; drew barrier 8 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 56.5kgs. He is an older horse now but finds suitable race to rate a top four contender.

8.00 p.m. R9 5 Prince Pegasus  (6 g Beneteau - Sassy Peg) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a4); drew barrier 5 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 51.5kgs. He is unpredictable and could surprise at odds or disappoint - depending on which version races tonight.

8.00 p.m. R9 10 Clarton Star  (4 g Highly Recommended - Annabel Rose) - Simon Kok (a2); drew barrier 6 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 50.5kgs. With a light weight on his back, he looks a top four prospect.

8.30 p.m. R10 11 Inherit  (4 g Pierro - In the Future) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a4); drew barrier 11 of 12 in the $70,000 Class 3 1100 metres on the poly track and carries 50kgs. He is better suited to more distance and racing on the turf.

9.00 p.m. R11 6 Accumulation  (5 g Rip Van Winkle - Vega Sicila) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a4); drew barrier 1 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 50kgs. He requires more distance to be really competitive.

9.30 p.m. R12 13 Elite Power  (6 g Sakhee's Secret - London Welsh) - unfixed; drew barrier 11 of 12 in the $100,000 Class 1 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 50kgs. He is first emergency and is unlikely to gain a start.

9.30 p.m. R12 14 Altair  (4 g Zoustar - Rossarita) - unfixed; drew barrier 10 of 12 in the $100,000 Class 1 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 50kgs. He is second emergency and is also unlikely to gain a start.

10.00 p.m. R13 9 Lai Mak Mak (8 g O'Reilly - Pretty) - Benny Woodworth; drew barrier 5 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1000 metres on the poly track and carries 53.5kgs. While the 1000 metres of this event is a touch short for this son of O'Reilly, he is fresh enough to rate a top four chance.

10.00 p.m. R13 13 Broadway Success  (4 g Alamosa - Broadway Express) - unfixed; drew barrier 1 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1000 metres on the poly track and carries 50kgs. He is first emergency and unlikely to gain a start.

10.30 p.m. R14 2 Afalonhro  (4 g Lonhro - Armed for Action) - Vlad Duric; drew barrier 11 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 57.5kgs. He trialled well and rates a top four chance with luck in the running from the awkward draw (11).
