11.50 p.m. R4 2 Aguila Azteca (4 m Minstrel Court - La Conga) - Corey Brown; drew barrier one of twelve in the $35,000 Maiden 1100 metres on the poly track and carries 56.5kgs. Unlucky in her races, she continues to please the trainer and rates a first four chance - one of two in the race for Te Akau.
11.50 p.m. R4 5 Hee's Ego (4 g Tale of the Cat - Quatro) - Manoel Nunes; drew barrier eight of twelve in the $35,000 Maiden 1100 metres on the poly track and carries 55.5kgs. Likely to find the distance too short, he would benefit from a fast pace but may prove better placed in Class 5.

12.20 a.m. (Saturday) R5 8 Hardcore Rock (5 g Fastnet Rock - River Dreaming) - Alan Munro; drew barrier twelve of fourteen (12 run) in the $38,000 Kranji D 1400 metres on the turf long course D and carries 56.5kgs. The task is made tough from a wide draw, but luck could see him produce a nice effort.

12.50 a.m. (Saturday) R6 11 Star Beauty (5 m Tale of the Cat - Quick Start) - Zawari Razali (a3); drew barrier five of fourteen (12 run) in the $38,000 Kranji D 1400 metres on the turf long course D and carries 53.5kgs. Working well and bright in condition, she has the draw in her favour to run well - one of two in the race for Te Akau.
12.50 a.m. (Saturday) R6 13 Appellation (4 g Pentire - Tattinger) - Choon Ng (a4); drew barrier seven of fourteen (12 run) in the $38,000 Kranji D 1400 metres on the turf long course D and carries 52.5kgs. He requires a scratching in order to make the field.

1.20 a.m. (Saturday) R7 7 Alpha Centauri (4 g Keeper - Country Rose) - Brad Parnham; drew barrier two of eight in the $150,000 Causeway Classic (Gr. 3, 1800m) on the poly track and carries 50.5kgs. Pleasing since his last start win, he meets a small but talented field and it will be interesting to see how he measures up.

Sunday August 16
4.50 p.m. R1 4 Falcon (5 g Falkirk - Grand Princess) - Manoel Nunes; drew barrier nine of twelve in the $35,000 Class 5 1100 metres on the poly track and carries 57kgs. He finished off nicely from back in the field last start and the same tactics will be applied.

5.20 p.m. R2 1 Captain Classique (3 g Captain Rio - Lady Classique) - Manoel Nunes; drew barrier ten of eleven in the $75,000 Restricted Maiden 1200 metres on the turf long course E and carries 57kgs. Never in the race from an outside gate last time, he has again drawn wide and will require a top ride.

5.50 p.m. R3 5 Free Happy (5 g Elvstroem - Tumbi Umbi) - Choon Ng (a4); drew barrier five of ten in the $60,000 Class 4 1800 metres on the turf long course E and carries 52kgs. He finished fifth from a nice draw last week and steps up from a mile - one of two in the race for Te Akau.
5.50 p.m. R3 6 Irish Rebel (6 g Danehill Dancer - Ballycairn) - Manoel Nunes; drew barrier three of ten in the $60,000 Class 4 1800 metres on the turf long course E and carries 56kgs. Has done well since his handy last start effort for sixth and appears capable of getting some prize money from a good draw.

8.25 p.m. R8 1 Prince Mag (6 g Zamindar - Princess D'Orange) - Manoel Nunes; drew barrier seven of fourteen in the $38,000 Kranji D 1800 metres on the turf long course E and carries 58kgs. Freshened since winning, he is up in rating but remains in the same grade and expected to run home strongly - one of two in the race for Te Akau.
8.25 p.m. R8 8 Clermont Club (6 g Casino Prince - Razzle) - Shafiq Rusof (a1); drew barrier two of fourteen in the $38,000 Kranji D 1800 metres on the turf long course E and carries 55.5kgs. He appears bright after varying his work, which will hopefully translate to a good performance from the draw.

10.00 p.m. R11 9 Home Run Hero (4 g Purrealist - Amatila) - Manoel Nunes; drew barrier eleven of fourteen (12 run) in the $60,000 Class 4 1400 metres on the turf long course E and carries 54.5kgs. Pleasing the trainer, but again drawn wide, good speed in the race should see him making ground.
