Te Akau Singapore Weekend Preview

Te Akau Racing Singapore runners - Friday 10 October -

11.20 p.m. R1 6 Dreammaker (5 g Excellent Art - White River) - Hassan Amin (a4); drew barrier two of ten in the $35,000 Class 5 Handicap over 1200 metres on the turf course and carries 51kgs. He resumes here after a long break and should take good benefit from the run. One of two in the race for Te Akau.

11:20 p.m. R1 7 Gods Speed (4 g Circular Quay - Gods Ear) - Corey Brown; drew barrier nine of ten in the $35,000 Class 5 Handicap over 1200 metres on the turf course and carries 55kgs. Drawn slightly awkwardly and fresh up, he will need some luck in running at a distance short of his best.

12.20 a.m. (Saturday) R3 10 Fiscal Wings (6 g Fusaichi Pegasus - Cashier) - Jimmy Kek (a2); drew barrier two of ten in the $60,000 Open Benchmark 67 Handicap over the 1200 metres on the turf course and carries 48kgs. Has a nice barrier and a light weight but may need to drop back to Class 5 before he proves a winning chance.

12.50 a.m. (Saturday) R4 10 Chase (3 g Nicconi - Speedos) - Zulkifli Zuriman (a2); drew barrier three of ten in the $65,000 Initiation Stakes over 1400 metres on the turf course and carries 49kgs. After an encouraging debut in Singapore, he steps up to 1400 metres in what looks a competitive field.

2.25 a.m. (Saturday) R7 12 Zac Star Destroyer (8 g Cape Cross - Noble Air) - Lisa Allpress; drew barrier twelve of twelve in the $35,000 Class 5 Handicap over 1200 metres on the turf course and carries 52kgs. Has drawn a wide barrier and with some luck in running and his nice light weight he should run up to his recent form.

2.55 a.m. (Saturday) R8 5 Prince Mag (5 g Zamindar - Princess D'Orange) - Manoel Nunes; drew barrier two of ten in the $60,000 Class 4 Handicap over 1600 metres on the turf course and carries 56kgs. Should get a nice economical run from his good barrier and with the addition of blinkers looks a first four chance. One of two in the race for Te Akau.

2.55 a.m. (Saturday) R8 8 King Savinsky (4 g Savabeel - Lynisky) - Lisa Allpress; drew barrier eight of ten in the $60,000 Class 4 Handicap over 1600 metres on the turf course and carries 54kgs. Now up to a distance that looks to be more suitable it would be encouraging to see him hit the line in staying fashion.

Sunday 12 October

7.20 p.m. R4 2 Flying Solo (4 g Flying Spur - Daly Charm) - R Zawari (a3); drew barrier six of ten in the $65,000 Iniation Stakes over 1400 metres on the turf course and carries 54.5kgs. After a slightly disappointing run first up in Singapore off the back of some encouraging trials form in NZ, some gear adjustments have been made to aid his performance.

11.05 p.m. R11 8 Sebrose (4 g Sebring - Bramble Rose) - Manoel Nunes; drew barrier three of eleven in the $60,000 Class 4 Handicap over 1200 metres on the turf course and carries 54kgs. Enjoying a spell after his last run, Sebrose resumes here over a distance which looks short of his best. With the leading rider in Singapore engaged he should be hitting the line well and look for him to step up in distance in starts to come.
