5.00 p.m. R3 2 Doc Hudson  (6 g Commands - Millyet) - Vlad Duric; drew outside barrier (11) in the $50,000 Class 4 1100 metres on poly-track and carries 57kg. He rates a top four chance with luck from a challenging draw (11) but he will benefit from the services of the leading rider - one of two runners in the race for trainer Mark Walker.

5.00 p.m. R3 7 Brutus  (4 g Rubick - Harvest Queen) - Harry Kasim; drew barrier 8 of 11 in the $50,000 Class 4 1100 metres on poly-track and carries 52.5kg. The blinkers go on, he carries a light weight, and as a result, is capable of a first four finish.

6.00 p.m. R5 5 Speedy Missile (4 g Smart Missile - Telegraph Girl) - Harry Kasim; drew barrier 5 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1400 metres on turf and carries 52.5kg. He has a decent draw (5) and he looks an each-way chance at odds - the first of a stable duo lining up in this event.

6.00 p.m. R5 8 Silent Force  (6 g Oasis Dream - Priceless Jewel) - JP Van der Merwe; drew barrier 1 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1400 metres on turf and carries 51.5kg. He requires a drop to Class 5 to have an impact.

6.30 p.m. R6 4 Lai Mak Mak (9 g O'Reilly - Pretty) - Jerlyn Seow (a4); drew barrier 5 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1600 metres on poly-track and carries 51.5kg. An older horse, he nevertheless based on his recent work rates a top five prospect - another race with two stable starters.

6.30 p.m. R6 6 Hidden Promise  (8 g Postponed - Promissory) - Shafiq Rusof; drew barrier 2 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1600 metres on poly-track and carries 55kg. Ideally drawn (2), he presents as a top four prospect.

7.00 p.m. R7 7 Axel  (5 g Darci Brahma - Josephines Fortune) - Shafiq Rusof; drew barrier 8 of 9 in the $85,000 Kranji B 1800 metres on turf and carries 55kg. A horse that has been the model of consistency during his Singapore career, he looks to have place prospects in this strong line up.

7.30 p.m. R8 5 Red Rover  (6 g O'Reilly - Pin Up) - Shafiq Rusof; drew barrier 5 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1100 metres on poly-track and carries 56kg. Darwn handily (5), he has each-way claims at odds.

8.00 p.m. R9 9 Sacred Judgement(5 g So You Think - Rose Ransom) - Harry Kasim; drew barrier 4 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on turf and carries 51.5kg. The second runner in this sprint for the trainer, he has drawn nicely (4), and he rates an each-way chance at odds.

8.30 p.m. R10 5 Savvy Command (4 g Savabeel - Best Command) - Shafiq Rusof; drew barrier 3 of 9 in the $400,000 Singapore Derby (Gr. 1, 1800m) on turf and carries 57kg. No. 1 & 2 in this classic Group 1 will be very hard to beat but he rates a place chance and is enjoying solid form.

9.00 p.m. R11 5 Buddy Buddy  (6 g Dubawi - Born Something) - Shafiq Rusof; drew outside barrier (14) in the $50,000 Class 4 1800 metres on turf and carries 55.5kg. A nightmare draw (14) to overcome this this a tough task but if any rain comes, he will appreciate those conditions.
