Te Akau Singapore has 15 (including three on ballot) horses racing on Saturday 19 September at Kranji. 

Trainer Mark Walker ended last season (Dec. 8) with 73 wins to claim his third title as Singapore Champion Trainer, and currently leads with 36 wins this year. 

4.30 p.m. R2 6 Marcus Antonius (3 g Sepoy - Panda's Turn) - Ismail Saifudin; drew barrier 6 of 12 in the $75,000 Restricted Maiden 1400 metres on turf and carries 51.5kgs. He is an improving type and he rates a place chance at odds.

5.00 p.m. R3 2 Showbound (4 g Showcasing - Midnight Senorita) - Ruan Maia; drew barrier 1 of 12 in the $20,000 Maiden 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 57.5kgs. He finds the right race and jockey to rate a top four prospect.

5.30 p.m. R4 10 Black Quail  (7 g Coats Choice - Sefidi) - CK Ng (a3); drew 8 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on turf and carries 48.5kgs. He requires a drop to Class 5 to be competitive.

6.30 p.m. R6 2 Red Riding Wood (7 g Redwood - Dreamcatcher) - Benny Woodworth; drew barrier 9 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1800 metres on turf and carries 58.5kgs. A last start winner, he faces a tougher grade here but can deliver a first four finish.

7.00 p.m. R7 5 Brutus  (4 g Rubick - Harvest Queen) - Ruan Maia; drew barrier 6 of 9 in the $75,000 Novice 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 55kgs. He is in good form but meets very good horse (No. 8) that will be hard to beat.

7.30 p.m. R8 13 Big Regards (7 g Darci Brahma - Molly Coco) - unfixed; drew barrier 2 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 57kgs. Ballot one, he is unlikely to gain a start.

8.00 p.m. R9 5 Happy Friday (4 g Shooting to Win - Enide) - Andrew John; drew the outside barrier (12) in the $20,000 Maiden 1600 metres on the poly track and carries 54.5kgs. He has a difficult draw (12) to contend with so he rates a place chance with a good dose of luck.

8.00 p.m. R9 11 Accumulation  (6 g Rip Van Winkle - Vega Sicila) - JP Van der Merwe; drew barrier 9 of 12 in the $20,000 Maiden 1600 metres on the poly track and carries 50kgs. He drops own in the weights but he needs to improve to threaten here.

8.30 p.m. R10 1 Exdream  (5 g Dream Ahead - Sboog) - CK Ng (a3); drew barrier 10 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1100 metres on the poly track and carries 55.5kgs. Drawn out (10), he rates a place chance with luck.

8.30 p.m. R10 6 I Am Sacred  (4 g I Am Invincible - Such A Princess) - Ruan Maia; drew barrier 5 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1100 metres on the poly track and carries 54.5kgs. He worked well during the week and rates a top four chance.

9.00 p.m. R11 4 Hidden Promise (8 g Postponed - Promissory) - Ruan Maia; drew barrier 3 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1800 metres on turf and carries 57.5kgs. Ideally drawn (3), he has the in-form rider engaged and can feature in the final four.

9.00 p.m. R11 13 Lim's Rhythm  (6 g Rock ‘N' Pop - Paixanito) - unfixed; drew barrier 2 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1800 metres on turf and carries 56kgs. Ballot one, unlikely to gain a start.

9.00 p.m. R11 14 Maximillian  (5 g Highly Recommended - Annabel Rose) - unfixed; drew barrier 8 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1800 metres on turf and carries 54kgs. Ballot two, unlikely to gain a start.

10.00 p.m. R13 2 Magnum King (5 g Written Tycoon - Brilliant Bisc) - Benny Woodworth; drew barrier 9 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1100 metres on the poly track and carries 58kgs. He disappointed last start, but the visor blinkers go on and he could improve with luck from his awkward draw (9). 

10.30 p.m. R14 8 Time to Rock (7 m Time Thief - Six O'clock Rock) - CK Ng (a3); drew barrier 6 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on turf and carries 49kgs. She may require a drop to Class 5 to make her presence felt.
