Te Akau Singapore Saturday Preview

Te Akau Singapore has 17 horses entered on Saturday 10 April at Kranji.

Currently second on the Singapore Trainers' Premiership, Te Akau Singapore trainer Mark Walker ended a pandemic interrupted season (27 Dec.) in second place with 45 wins. He was Champion Singapore Trainer in 2015, 2017 (record 87 wins) and 2019, runner-up twice, third, and fourth, since Te Akau established a stable in 2010 at Kranji Racecourse.

5.00 p.m. R1 14 Barbeque (5 g Helmet - Heat of the Fire) - unfixed; drew barrier 7 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1600 metres on turf and carries 57kg.  Sitting on ballot two, he is unlikely to gain a start.

5.30 p.m. R2 5 Boundless Glory (3 g Darci Brahma - More Than A Chance) - Marc Lerner; drew barrier 8 of 12 in the $20,000 Maiden 1200 metres on turf and carries 55.5kg. He needs more distance to make an impact - one of two in the event for Mark Walker.

5.30 p.m. R2 12 Lady Roxanne (3 f Darci Brahma - Kindred) - Danny Beasley; drew barrier 10 of 12 in the $20,000 Maiden 1200 metres on turf and carries 54kg. The second stable runner is an each-way chance at odds if she can overcome the awkward draw.

6.00 p.m. R3 5 Speedy Missile (4 g Smart Missile - Telegraph Girl) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a2); drew barrier 5 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on turf and carries 52.5kg. He is a top four contender.

6.30 p.m. R4 13 Sportscaster (7 g Fastnet Rock - Gypsy Dancer) - unfixed; drew the outside barrier (12) in the $30,000 Class 5 1200 metres on the poly-track and carries 57.5kg. Ballot one, he looks unlikely to make the field.

7.30 p.m. R6 4 Augustano (6 g Hardspun - Lady of Letters) - Jerlyn Seow (a4); drew barrier 8 of 9 in the $85,000 Kranji Stakes B 1400 metres on turf and carries 54kg. He requires a drop to Class 3 to make his presence felt.

7.30 p.m. R6 9 Inherit (5 g Pierro - In the Future) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a2); drew the outside barrier (9) in the $85,000 Kranji Stakes B 1400 metres on turf and carries 50kg. He is another that will be more effective down in grade - he requires a drop to Class 4.

8.00 p.m. R7 2 Big Regards (7 g Darci Brahma - Molly Coco) - Danny Beasley; drew barrier 9 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1600 metres on turf and carries 55.5kg. In this race he rates a top four contender.

8.00 p.m. R7 10 Accumulation (6 g Rip Van Winkle - Vega Sicila) - CC Wong; drew barrier 6 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1600 metres on turf and carries 50kg. With a good second under his belt last start, and carrying a light weight, he is amongst the top four prospects.

8.30 p.m. R8 8 Broadway Success (5 g Alamosa - Broadway Express) - Jerlyn Seow (a4); drew barrier 7 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1200 metres on the poly-track and carries 52.5kg. Another who raced into a strong second when last presented, he is capable of a first four finish.

9.00 p.m. R9 1 Red Rover (6 g O'Reilly - Pin Up) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a2); drew barrier 10 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1000 metres on the poly-track and carries 57kg. He's out of form, but drops to Class 4 and thus rates a place chance.

9.00 p.m. R9 13 Man of Mystery (6 g All Too Hard - Black Minx) - Jerlyn Seow (a4); drew barrier 5 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1000 metres on the poly-track and carries 53kg. Sitting at one on the ballot, he is unlikely to gain a start.

9.00 p.m. R9 14 Hadeer (5 g Savabeel - A Real Princess) - unfixed; drew barrier 2 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1000 metres on the poly-track and carries 57kg. Ballot two, he likewise is unlikely to gain a start.

9.30 p.m. R10 3 Silent Partner (5 g Dandy Man - Dolce Dovo) - Marc Lerner; drew barrier 4 of 11 in the $70,000 Class 3 1600 metres on turf and carries 55.5kg.  He has been training well and has claims as a top four contender.

9.30 p.m. R10 11 Augustus (6 g Snitzel - Gussy Godiva) - CC Wong; drew barrier 6 of 11 in the $70,000 Class 3 1600 metres on turf and carries 50kg. He will be better at his next two starts: 1800m and then 2000m.
