Sunday 27 March

6.50 p.m. R3 2 EATON'S GOLD - Manuel Nunes; draws nicely at barrier two in the S$60,000 Open Benchmark 67 1000m on the polytrack. One of three runners in this 10-horse field for Mark Walker, he is enjoying good form and finds himself with 58kgs but still presents a top five chance from the handy barrier.

6.50 p.m. R3 7 OUR TOUCHE - Oscar Chavez; draws reasonably at seven and carries just 52kgs. The second Mark Walker runner, he is on a quick back up after being somewhat disappointing last weekend.  A horse that doesn't do a lot at track work, he still has some condition to lose and will take good improvement from the run.

6.50 p.m. R3 9 DREAMCATCHER - App CK Ng (a3); draws barrier eight and the third Mark Walker runner has a featherweight 47kgs to carry. Realistically he needs to return to Class 5 company to find his best form.

7.50 p.m. R5 8 BRAHMS AND LISZT - App CK Ng (a3); the veteran campaigner jumps fropm barrier one in the S$80,000 Class 3 1400m on the short course C turf.  With the claim dropping him down to 49kgs, he's in good form off his last start win but has always struggled in company above Class 4. However form the barrier still has to rate a place chance.

9.55 p.m. R9 12 LIM'S KNIGHT - Shafiq Rusof; a reasonable draw (6) for this promising runner in the Group 3 3YO Sprint over 1200m, the first leg of the 3YO Challenge, on the short course C turf.  With a stake of S$250,000 on offer, the event has attracted a 15 strong and talented field as to be expected.  This is a very big step up in class for this up and comer - his most difficult test to date - a place chance.
