Sunday 9 July

6.05 p.m. R4 5 LIM'S REGARD - Glen Boss; the day begins for Mark Walker and the team with two representatives in this Restricted Maiden 2&3YO WFA 1200m on the turf short course B. With the top globe-trotting rider up, this Red Giant 3YO draws well (1) and carries 57kgs. Coming off the back of a nice second - a top four chance

6.05 p.m. R4 12 VENUS DE MILO - Derreck David; the second for the trainer has drawn barrier seven in this field of 12 with only 48.5kgs to carry. Another daughter of Burgundy, she is not a very big filly but with a improved effort last start - a place chance.

7.10 p.m. R6 3 STAR STRIKE - Vlad Duric; with a rider aboard who is forging a very successful relationship with the trainer, this in form runner (0-2-1-2) draws out a touch (7 of 13) and carries 58kgs in the Kranji Stakes D SW 1200m on the turf short course B. Coming off the back of a bleed, had the mandatory three month stand-down and should race well fresh up.

8.15 p.m. R8 7 LIM'S KNIGHT - Vlad Duric; this 4YO brings an strong overall form line into play for this Open Benchmark 67 1200m on the turf short course B where he carries 54.5kgs and breaks from gate five. In a field of 11 starters, he wears blinkers for the first time - top four chance.

9.55 p.m. R11 3 LIM'S REFORM - App R Zawari (a2); a good draw (2) for the horse previously raced as ‘Damon' in this Class 4 1400m on the turf short course B. He draws sweetly as we say and with 57.5kgs and a recent record of 2-5-3-3-2, expect him to play a prominent part in proceedings. He is always very honest - a top four chance.
