Friday 4 September

11.50 p.m. R4 5 Molly Browne (4 m Saperavi - Patient) - Shafiq Rusof (a1); drew barrier one of twelve in the $38,000 Kranji D 1400 metres on the turf long course E and carries 55.5kgs. In good order, she should receive a lovely trip to rate a top four chance.

12.50 a.m. (Saturday) R6 2 Prince Mag (6 g Zamindar - Princess D'O'range) - Noreesh Jugall; drew barrier four of thirteen (12 run) in the $38,000 Kranji D 1800 metres on the turf long course E and carries 58kgs. A dual winner at the distance, he meets a strong field but his best form can see him finish in the first five.

He resumes in a strong field and whatever he does should see improvement for a mile next Sunday.

5.45 p.m. R2 6 Q Nine Maxim (4 g King of Roses - Lady Penelope) - Manoel Nunes; drew barrier five of fifteen (14 run) in the $65,000 Initiation 1200 metres on the turf short course A and carries 57.5kgs.

6.15 p.m. R3 2 Irish Rebel (6 g Danehill Dancer - Ballycairn) - Rawali Zawari (a3); drew barrier five of eleven in the $60,000 Class 4 1600 metres on the turf short course A and carries 54kgs. Mark (Walker) was unable to get a senior rider in such a strong field but hopefully weight relief will aid his prospects.

7.50 p.m. R6 5 Hardcore Rock (5 g Fastnet Rock - River Dreaming) - Manoel Nunes; drew barrier three of thirteen in the $38,000 Kranji D 1200 metres on the turf short course A and carries 56.5kgs. Finds a race in which we feel he can prove competitive from a good draw.

8.20 p.m. R7 15 Clermont Club (6 g Casino Prince - Razzle) - Choon Ng (a4); drew barrier fourteen of fifteen (14 run) in the $60,000 Class 4 1200 metres on the turf short course A and carries 48kgs, but currently first on the ballot. If he was to gain a start, the trip would prove too short and we are looking for a drop back to Class 5.
