Te Akau Singapore Sunday Preview

Te Akau horses racing at Kranji Racecourse in Singapore, where 2015 Trainers' Premiership winner Mark Walker again leads the Trainers' Premiership - now with 28 wins since 1 January.

Sunday 10 April

4.45 p.m. R1 3 BULLISH LUCK - Manuel Nunes; one of three for the stable in the first Sunday event, draws handily (3) and carries 57kgs for the top jockey.  He arrives back in Class 5 company but may be looking for 1400m - a place chance.

4.45 p.m. R1 6 HARDCORE ROCK - N Juglall; the second for the stable, draws the inside with 56.5kgs on his back.  He has had a freshen up and the arrival of any rain would be an assist - rates a top five chance.

4.45 p.m. R1 8 VINTAGE VERDOT - App CK Ng (a3); the third for the stable, draws barrier six with 56kgs assigned, dropping to 53kgs with the claim.  He has really not hit his straps yet and needs to improve.

6.15 p.m. R4 1 VRAAD - Shafiq Rusof; comes in after a lovely last start winning effort but has a nightmare draw and the top weight of 58kgs.  The difficult barrier nothwithstanding, if this can be overcome he rates a top five chance.

6.45 p.m. R5 11 HELLO MICHELLE - Manuel Nunes; a good draw for this filly to be ridden by the leading jockey, carrying 55.5kgs in the feature 2YO event.  First try, she has been well educated but with a field full of first starters, hard to assess the field.  However a very professional young horse and on that, a top five chance.

7.45 p.m. R7 6 LADY IFFRAAJ - Shafiq Rusof; again a two-horse representation for the stable.  A talented and tough filly, she has drawn out (10) and carries 54.5kgs.  Enjoying good form but with the outside barrier yet again, rates a top four chance.

7.45 p.m. R7 9 STAR GENIUS - App CK Ng (a3); the second stable rep. and a nice type with ability, he's drawn seven and with the claim only carries 48.5kgs. Rates a dangerous, lightweight, top four chance.

8.20 p.m. R8 3 SPEED CRAFT - App CK Ng (a3); two stable runners in this, the first attracting a 3kg apprentice benefit claim, will carry 55.5kgs from barrier 11.  This last start winner rates a top five chance with the allowance.

8.20 p.m. R8 5 KING SAVINSKY - Shafiq Rusof; another with a nightmare draw (13) and 58kgs to carry to boot.  He is however enjoying good form currently and finds the right race - a top four chance.

9.25 p.m. R10 2 THE COSMOS - Manuel Nunes; has been super consistent since arriving in Singapore from New Zealand.  He will require nun's skills from barrier 11 with the 58kgs to lug.  Outside of that the horse is in god form and still rates a top four chance.

10.00 p.m. R11 1 ASPEN - Oscar Chavez; two in the final event for Mark Walker - this gelding comes off a last start nose win and has drawn gate eight with 57kgs assigned. Again any rain around will aid this runner's chances and is probably a prerequisite to pose a winning chance.

10.00 p.m. R11 3 DAMON - Manuel Nunes; nice draw (3), 56.5kgs and the top jock!  He is improving all the time and from the handy draw appears a top four chance.
