Friday May 29
11.20 p.m. R3 7 Secret Spice (3 f Sakhee's Secret - Caparison) - Shafiq Rusof; drew barrier one of ten in the $60,000 Class 4 1800 metres on the turf long course E and carries 52kgs. She has pleased trainer Mark Walker and rates among the leading chances as a top five prospect - one of two in the race for Te Akau.
11.20 p.m. R3 9 Prince Mag (6 g Zamindar - Princess D'Orange) - Harry Kasim (a1); drew barrier eight of ten in the $60,000 Class 4 1800 metres on the turf long course E and carries 49.5kgs. Is looking to recapture his form, but may require a drop to Class 5.

11.50 p.m. R4 1 Joy and Happy (4 g Holy Roman Emperor - Marmoso) - Rawali Zawari (a3); drew barrier three of ten in the $35,000 Maiden 1000 metres on the poly track and carries 56kgs. Resumes over the sprint trip - somewhat like a trial for him, but he is fit and can produce a cheeky effort fresh - one of two in the race for Te Akau.
11.50 p.m. R4 3 Falcon (4 g Falkirk - Grand Princess) - Shafiq Rusof (a1); drew barrier six of ten in the $35,000 Maiden 1000 metres on the poly track and carries 55.5kgs. Also races in a fresh state and should go well before stepping up in trip.

12.20 a.m. (Saturday) R5 7 Zac Gallant (5 g Darci Brahma - Clermont Rose) - Mohd Zaki (a1); drew barrier seven of twelve in the $35,000 Class 5 1000 metres on poly track and carries 53.5kgs. Disappointing of late, he will wear blinkers and in a change of riding tactics plant on the speed.

5.55 p.m. R2 7 Pharma Browne (4 g Saperavi - Patient) - Shafiq Rusof (a1); drew barrier eleven of twelve in the $35,000 Maiden 1400 metres on the turf short course A and carries 53kgs. Will look to settle off the pace from the draw and get home strongly - one of two in the race for Te Akau.
5.55 p.m. R2 11 Regal Salute (5 g King's Chapel - Spring Dancer) - Mansor Firdaus (a2); drew barrier five of twelve in the $35,000 Maiden 1400 metres on the turf short course A and carries 53kgs. Is required to improve, or be retired to the riding school.

6.25 p.m. R3 4 Om (5 g Darci Brahma - Songfest) - Rawali Zawari (a3); drew barrier five of nine in the $80,000 Kranji C 2000 metres on the turf short course A and carries 55kgs. He ran a great race over 1800m last start and can finish in the first five provided he relaxes in the run.

6.55 p.m. R4 1 Fast Rich (3 g Iffraaj - Miss Downey) - Shafiq Rusof (a1); drew barrier six of twelve in the $38,000 Kranji D 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 57kgs.

8.25 p.m. R7 2 Lucky Dapper (5 g Testa Rossa - Buttonhook) - Rawali Zawari (a3); drew barrier seven of twelve in the $38,000 Kranji D 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 55kgs. He should find it easier in this grade and rates a top five chance - one of two in the race for Te Akau.
8.25 p.m. R7 3 Dreamcatcher (6 g Occidental Tourist - Camilla) - Shafiq Rusof (a1); drew barrier eleven of twelve in the $38,000 Kranji D 1200 metres on the poly track and carries 57kgs. Very honest, but often unlucky in his races, he will be trying his best off a wide gate.

9.35 p.m. R9 2 Clutha Lad (5 g Thorn Park - Maggies Farm) - Choon Ng (a4); drew barrier eleven of thirteen in the $80,000 Class 3 1200 metres on the turf short course A and carries 51kgs. Bright and well after a hind leg injury, the field may be a touch sharp over the sprint trip but he should be finding the line into the money from off the pace.
