5:00 p.m. R1 7 Eastiger (8 g Magic Albert - Quite Astute) - Vlad Duric; drew barrier 6 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1200 metres on the turf and carries 57.5kg. He has been freshened, has a good course/distance record, is the likely leader and rates a top three chance.

5:30 p.m. R2 1 Briggs (4 g Rubick - High Ace) - Manoel Nunes; drew barrier 1 of 12 in $20,000 the Maiden 1200 metres on the poly-track and carries 59kg. He delivered a nice first-up third over 1000 metres, should strip a fitter horse, has drawn ace and is capable of finishing in the first three.

6:00 p.m. R3 2 Charminton (4 g Charm Spirit - Sarzana) - Fadzli Yusoff (a2); drew barrier 3 of 11 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on the poly-track and carries 54.5kg. He is racing consistently, with two wins and two seconds from his four Kranji starts, trialled well, is ideally drawn (3) and is a top three prospect.

7:00 p.m. R5 1 Diamond Ring (6 g Super Easy - Donna Marie) - Simon Kok (a1); drew barrier 1 of 10 in the $30,000 Class 5 1100 metres on the poly-track and carries 58kg. He is drawn (1) to get nice sit behind the leaders and look for him running the race out strongly - one of two for the stable.

7:00 p.m. R5 9 Gamely (7 g Golden Archer - Tiny Temptress) - Iskandar Rosman (a2); drew barrier 5 of 10 in the $30,000 Class 5 1100 metres on the poly-track and carries 52.5kg. His is a consistent type and he has first four claims.

7:30 p.m. R6 5 Axel (7 g Darci Brahma - Josephines Fortune) - Louis Beuzelin; drew barrier 8 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1600 metres on the poly-track and carries 55kg. A $55,000 Ready to Run purchase by David Ellis CNZM, he has now earned well over $400,000 in Singapore and is expected to improve for the run.

8:30 p.m. R8 2 Legacy Fortune (3 g Dragon Pulse - Gold Zain) - Manoel Nunes; drew barrier 7 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1400 metres on the turf and carries 58.5kg. He was a solid last start winner in the same grade - a good form race - he has trialled well and looks a top three chance. - first of a stable trio contesting the 1400m event.

8:30 p.m. R8 5 Implement (7 g Holy Roman Emperor - If Dubai) - Jerlyn Seow (a3); drew barrier 4 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1400 metres on the turf and carries 49.5kg. He is having his first start for the stable and may be better suited in Class 5.

8:30 p.m. R8 10 Champagne Finale (7 g All Too Hard - Grande Annee) - Harry Kasim; drew barrier 10 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1400 metres on the turf and carries 51kg. He too may require drop back to Class 5 to make his presence felt and also needs rain.

9:30 p.m. R10 5 God's Gift (6 g Haradasun - Criquette) - Jamil Sarwi (a4); drew barrier 9 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1600 metres on the poly-track and carries 52.5kg. The weight relief assists but he would be better suited on turf.

9:30 p.m. R10 16 Foresto (8 g Excelebration - Swiss Current) - unfixed; drew barrier 11 of 12 in the $30,000 Class 5 1600 metres on the poly-track and carries 50kg. Ballot four, he is unlikely to gain a start.

10:00 p.m. R11 2 King Arthur (5 g I Am Invincible - Pentasia) - Fadzli Yusoff (a2); drew barrier 2 of 9, the $100,000 Kranji Stakes A 1200 metres on turf and carries 56kg. He should strip fitter for his last run and he rates top three from ideal draw (2) - one of a stable duo lining up in the feature.

10:00 p.m. R11 5 Entertainer (6 g Zoustar - Laughing) - Jerlyn Seow (a3); drew barrier 1 of 9 in the the $100,000 Kranji Stakes A 1200 metres on the turf and carries 49kg. He steps up in class, and is one for longer odds but ranks among the top four prospects.

10:30 p.m. R12 6 Master Ryker (7 g Sebring - Hanky Panky) - Jamil Sarwi (a4); drew barrier 5 of 12 in the $50,000 Class 4 1200 metres on the poly-track and carries 49.5kg. He enjoys weight relief and if he settles, he could be getting home as a top four chance.
