An eye catching run first up leaves the Michael Clements trained Triple Trio well placed to break through in the final event at Singapore this evening.
Only lightly raced Triple Trio has placed in all bar one of his six starts, including two victories.
Stretched out to 1800m last preparation, Triple Trio performed well over 1200m first up and no surprise to see him stay at that trip this evening.Ridden by Vlad Duric, Triple Trio settled back in the field, before pulled to the centre and hitting the line strongly to finish third behind subsequent winner Quarter Back.
Worth nothing Duric elected to ride Triple Trio ahead of the latter and he notably returned the second fastest 800m and 400m of the meeting.Only Quarter Back went faster and suspect that is very good form for this Kranji Stakes C event.
The wide draw is some query as he is expected to get a long way back, however there appears decent speed engaged in the capacity field.When assessing Timeform weight adjusted ratings, he sits clear based on his first up performance and remains open to further improvement racing second up.
Leading rider Vlad Duric sticks aboard and he possesses a great strike rate with the Clements stable, striking at just shy of 20 per cent.Like the fact he has been kept fresh (39 days) and he should prove hard to beat.
The unbeaten My Dreamliner steps up sharply in grade, but couldn't have been more impressive over 1000m last start.Leading throughout on the polytrack, he gave his rivals little chance spacing them by close to six lengths.
He returned decent figures and now only looks to have to take that form to 1200m to be right in the finish again.From the awkward draw expect Benny Woodworth to press forward and take up the running, from there he should give them all something to catch.
The Steven Burridge trained Chalaza displayed good improvement to finish second last start and cannot be taken lightly.While no match for Destroyer Eclipse, he stuck on well to the line and only looks to have to repeat that level of performance to be right around the mark again.
Of the rest the Cliff Brown trained Mo Almighty appears the next in line.A solid performance first up, he is expected to improve further and from the good draw he is expected to make his presence felt.
Good luck and happy punting.
