5.00 p.m. R1 7 What You Like (8 g Savabeel - Kinsella) - Shafiq Rusof; drew barrier 7 of 12 in $30,000 Class 5 1200 metres on poly-track and carries 58.5kg. Always competitive in Class 5, he rates a top four chance.

5.30 p.m. R2 12 Grandpa Mick Mac (6 g Minstrel Court - Zabba) - Jerlyn Seow (a3); drew barrier 9 of 14 in $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on turf and carries 47.5kg. Requires drop to Class 5 to make an impact.

6.00 p.m. R3 2 Hidden Promise  (9 g Postponed - Promissory) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a2); drew barrier 8 of 12 in $30,000 Class 5 1600 metres on poly-track and carries 56.5kg. He has the credentials to be a top four contender - one of two in the race for trainer Mark Walker.

6.00 p.m. R3 7 Accumulation (7 g Rip Van Winkle - Vega Sicila) - CC Wong; drew outside barrier (12) in $30,000 Class 5 1600 metres on poly-track and carries 53.5kg. He is in really good form and has first four claims with any luck from the tough draw (12).

6.00 p.m. R3 14 Sportscaster  (8 g Fastnet Rock - Gypsy Dancer) - Jerlyn Seow (a3); drew barrier 11 of 12 in $30,000 Class 5 1600 metres on poly-track and carries 49.5kg. He is number two on the ballot, and is unlikely to make the field.

6.30 p.m. R4 1 Speedy Missile (5 g Smart Missile - Telegraph Girl) - Manoel Nunes; drew barrier 9 of 14 in $50,000 Class 4 1400 metres on turf and carries 57kg. He rates a top four contender with luck from awkward draw (9).

7.00 p.m. R5 15 Maximillian  (6 g Highly Recommended - Annabel Rose) - unfixed; drew barrier 3 of 12 in $30,000 Class 5 1200 metres on poly-track and carries 56kg. Sitting at ballot three, he is unlikely to gain a start.

7.30 p.m. R6 1 King Arthur (4 g I Am Invincible - Pentasia) - Shafiq Rusof; drew barrier 5 of 14 in $75,000 Novice 1200 metres on turf and carries 58kg. He rates a top five prospect in strong field - that features three stable starters.

7.30 p.m. R6 2 Stenmark  (4 g Medaglia d'Oro - Scandiva) - Jerlyn Seow (a3); drew barrier 8 of 14 in $75,000 Novice 1200 metres on turf and carries 55kg. He can be unpredictable in gates, but he can finish in the top four is he begins cleanly.

7.30 p.m. R6 14 Dinar  (3 g Dalghar - La Belle Femme) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a2); drew barrier 13 of 14 in $75,000 Novice 1200 metres on turf and carries 51kg. One start for one win, but he is another that has drawn badly (13). However he is a promising horse and can be amongst the first four home.

8.30 p.m. R8 2 Silent Partner  (6 g Dandy Man - Dolce Dovo) - Marc Lerner; drew barrier 5 of 12 in $50,000 Class 4 1400 metres on turf and carries 55kg. He needs rain to make his presence felt.

8.30 p.m. R8 5 Motakhayyel  (5 g Snitzel - Tetsuko) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a2); drew barrier 8 of 12 in $50,000 Class 4 1400 metres on turf and carries 51kg. He has been disappointing and has to lift.

9.30 p.m. R10 4 Sacred Croix  (7 g Savabeel - Croix Du Sud) - Shafiq Rusof; drew barrier 13 of 16 in $1m Singapore Gold Cup (Gr. 1, 2000m) on turf and carries 54kg. He has copped a wide draw (13) in tough Group 1 field and needs dry track to show his best.

9.30 p.m. R10 13 Savvy Command  (5 g Savabeel - Best Command) - Aiman Kamaruddin (a2); drew barrier 8 of 16 in $1m Singapore Gold Cup (Gr. 1, 2000m) on turf and carries 50kg. He rates a definite light weight contender in today's feature race.
