4.30 p.m. R2 7 Our Secret Weapon  (3 g Outreach - Poppy's Pond) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a3); drew barrier 9 of 12 in the $75,000 Restricted Maiden 1100 metres on the poly track and carries 49.5kgs. He's a nice horse purchased by David Ellis at last year's Ready to Run Sale, specifically to race in Singapore for his Kiwi owners. He has however drawn a touch wide (9), but still rates a strong top three chance.

5.00 p.m. R3 10 Maximillian  (5 g Highly Recommended - Annabel Rose) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a3); drew barrier 9 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 49.5kgs. He carries a featherweight but does have a wide draw (9) to navigate - he nevertheless can make a first four impact. 

5.30 p.m. R4 11 Take A Chance  (3 g Star Witness - Hilylia) - Ruan Maia; drew barrier 5 of 12 in the $75,000 Restricted Maiden 1100 metres on the poly track and carries 52.5kgs. He trialled well and rates a top four chance - the first of two in the race for Mark Walker.

5.30 p.m. R4 12 Lady Roxanne  (3 f Darci Brahma - Kindred) - JP Van der Merwe; drew barrier 1 of 12 in the $75,000 Restricted Maiden 1100 metres on the poly track and carries 51kgs. She will be better on the turf.

6.00 p.m. R5 1 Sportscaster  (7 g Fastnet Rock - Gypsy Dancer) - Dennis Tan (a4); drew barrier 7 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 55kgs. He would be better over more ground however he still rates a place chance.

6.30 p.m. R6 3 JR Malone  (6 g Sepoy - Leone Chiara) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a3); drew barrier 7 of 14 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on turf and carries 55kgs. He rates a top four chance in the event with two stable runners.

6.30 p.m. R6 10 Time to Rock (7 m Time Thief - Six O'clock Rock) - Ryan Munger; drew barrier 8 of 14 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on turf and carries 53kgs. She may require a drop to Class 5 to be more competitive.

7.00 p.m. R7 4 Afalonhro  (5 g Lonhro - Armed for Action) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a3); drew barrier 4 of 14 in the $50,000 Class 4 1400 metres on turf and carries 53.5kgs. He has been training well and is in a position to make his presence felt in this field.

7.30 p.m. R8 8 Admiral Winston (4 g Declaration of War - Montclair) - Benny Woodworth; drew 1 of 14 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on turf and carries 55kgs. While he rises in class, he has the ability to be considered a top four finisher in another event with two starters for the trainer.

7.30 p.m. R8 10 Black Quail (7 g Coats Choice - Sefidi) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a3); drew 9 of 14 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on turf and carries 49.5kgs. He cops an awkward draw (9) and as a result, a place chance looks his best opportunity.

8.00 p.m. R9 4 Sacred Croix  (6 g Savabeel - Croix Du Sud) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a3); drew the outside barrier (10) in the $85,000 Class 2 1600 metres on turf and carries 49kgs. He rates a top four light weight chance in an even affair that sees a trio of runners for trainer Mark Walker.

8.00 p.m. R9 7 Time Lord  (6 g Guillotine - Mary Agnes) - TH Koh (a1); drew barrier 5 of 10 in the in the $85,000 Class 2 1600 metres on turf and carries 49kgs. Any rain would assist his chances.

8.00 p.m. R9 9 Augustus  (6 g Snitzel - Gussy Godiva) - Rosman Iskandar (a3); drew barrier 1 of 10 in the in the $85,000 Class 2 1600 metres on turf and carries 47kgs. He is a light weight contender.

8.30 p.m. R10 8 Mustengo (5 g Minstrel Court - Zabba) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a3); drew barrier 6 of 14 in the $50,000 Class 4 1400 metres on turf and carries 50kgs. He has the possibility of filling a place if things go his way.

8.30 p.m. R10 15 Elite Remarkable (6 g Sebi Halo - Baaltis) - Louis Beuzelin; drew barrier 13 of 14 in the $50,000 Class 4 1400 metres on turf and carries 56.5kgs. He is unlikely to make the field, sitting at ballot one.

9.00 p.m. R11 1 Exdream  (5 g Dream Ahead - Sboog) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a3); drew barrier 9 of 14 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on turf and carries 56kgs. He rates a place chance from awkward draw (9). 

9.30 p.m. R12 6 Yulong Edition  (5 g Makfi - Bride Unbridled) - Mark Ewe; drew barrier 12 of 16 in the $1m Kranji Mile (Gr. 1, 1600m) on turf and carries 57kgs. Unfortunately he is another that has copped a wide draw (12), on that basis he rates a place chance.

10.00 p.m. R13 8 Inherit  (4 g Pierro - In the Future) - Rehaizat Yusoff (a3); drew the outside barrier (14) in the $70,000 Class 3 1600 metres on turf and carries 52.5kgs. He is a last start winner, but yes, yet another with a car park draw (14) so based on that, a place chance looks best.

10.30 p.m. R14 3 I Am Sacred  (4 g I Am Invincible - Such A Princess) - Nizar Noor (a3); drew barrier 6 of 14 in the $75,000 Novice 1200 metres on turf and carries 55kgs. He rates a top four chance in an even line up that features three starters for Mark Walker.

10.30 p.m. R14 4 Savvy Command  (4 g Savabeel - Best Command) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a3); drew barrier 8 of 14 in the $75,000 Novice 1200 metres on turf and carries 55kgs. He too rates a top four chance.
