Singapore racing best bets, race analysis looking at the full Singapore card Saturday, 30th September with selections & information on all the contenders.
RACE 1
THE WILD PRINCE – Needs to lead to find himself in a position to win but when it comes to consistency in results, he hasn't run outside of the placings for the last four runs. Working towards a win, respect.
WAR WARRIOR – Another seed influence who is getting to the right rating to make an impression. He is a two-time winner at this track and distance and this race sets up well for him to impress, each way prospect here under our leading rider with Nunes on.
ZYGARDE – Back to class 5 where he returned last time for only one run. He meets a similar field and is proven to carry weight in class 5, winning hope.
NO MORE DELAY – Freshened up for another run-in class 5. Surprising that he hasn't won again, especially in this class but he is a horse getting to a mark too good to ignore.
RACE 2
TOH GUAN TREASURE – Complete forgive last time to the races where he was a DNF after being taken out of the race. His debut showed that he has speed and could be hard to catch over 1000m on poly, respect.
BIG MAX – Having first race day start on poly this weekend. Seems to be a horse who has some ability and if they go too hard-up front, he is a runner that might get a nice conservative run in behind the leaders if he is able to get some luck early from an outside draw.
FIRE – Backing up sharply after last weekend and has the speed to race well over 1000m on poly. One could suggest that he did enough last weekend in that run to entertain a selection here as a top three chance.
RUBIK KID – Lightweight contender making his debut. Both him and Talkingtalkingguru trialled in good time leading into this start and at the weights, he looks the horse with no race day form that must be considered, could surprise.
RACE 3
SMOKE AND MIRRORS – On the quick back up and find a nice race for our leading stable. Drops back in grade after being beaten 2 lengths, good form.
MY DETERMINATION – Coming out of a fantastic run in behind his stablemate in his first run at the grade. Off that performance, he should be catching the eye again, respect.
FIREWORKS – 1400m specialist who continues to race in great form. Rarely far away from the winners and looks a must for exotic plays. His best could see him winning under Vlad Duric.
COMMANDER – Raced impressively in behind Geobels Glory in non-winners' company last start. Although he is yet to win, that race rates well heading into this race and a repeat performance would see him being very competitive with 57kg after the claim.
RACE 4
LIM'S FUJI – His only turf run to date came over 1400m which looked too far for him. 1200m looks a much-preferred trip and provided he can find a forward position unlike last start; he can win a race of this quality.
SURFING CLOUD – Caught the eye late to go down less than a length coming from back in the field. One of the eye catchers in the race and carries a similar weight this time around again.
SUPER PAN SWIFTLY – Comes out of a race that should rate quite well and looks a strong form line. The extra distance of 100m should be a plus if anything, place chance.
NIMBUS FLARE – Looks the unknown element in the race. Trials leading up have been quiet, but the stable and connections have had horses fire on debut, keep safe.
RACE 5
TEARDROPS – Broke the clock in a slick 59.21 in a trial last Thursday morning. This mare has built a bit of a placegetter profile, but that trial was too good to ignore.
OPUNAKE – Speedster who has had a good season resulting in three wins so far as well as good placings. Didn't get the best draw last start but boxed on well and comes from an in form stable.
I AM SACRED – Returns to his favorite distance and surface where he has a career best record that reads (16:3-3-3). He currently sits four points lower than his last victory.
WEBSTER – Comes out that Pacific MV race where he was catching the eye late to be beaten one length at the finish. Stable have really got this old boy racing well and deserves a look in this.
RACE 6
MR BIG BROTHER – Returns to class 5 where he recorded his last win over this same course and distance back in June. Has ran well in recent class 4 contests and will appreciate the drop-in class.
KHAO MANEE – Another strong placing at this level last start behind Endless. Just seems to always find one better on the day but he is teasing those who support him that a win is nearby.
SHEESH – If he gains a start which connections will be hoping after a brave last start minor placing. If he finds the front and gets cheap sectionals could surprise off a light weight.
ENDLESS – Well placed to score last start in similar conditions that have seen him win four races around this mark. Should take up a forward position early.
RACE 7
SUPERIOR COAT – Strung up multiple second placings in his last few starts. Was wide without cover last start and still caught the eye, horse to beat.
BEN WADE – 1100m would be preferred but he is a horse who is deep into a preparation, fit and racing well enough to run at least top three in this event with the 4kg of weight relief, respect.
ALWAYS INNOCENT – He is more of a 1000m horse but is racing well of his current mark of 34. He has run places in all of his recent runs and for that reason, leave him out of your exotics at your own peril.
LIM'S WISH – A horse striking division two company after racing in much stronger class 5 events. Capable of racing well here over a trip he has won at already along with two second placings in seven attempts.
RACE 8
EASY BREEZY – Gained a start as an emergency and made the most of it with a strong display to score. He is very lightly raced here and the stable look to have him where they want him.
MAXIMA – He was huge winning on debut here in Singapore two starts ago and following up with a second placing at 1400m. The rise to a mile will look to suit here and should be peaking third up.
MAXIMUM CONTROL – Goes into class four for the first time in his short career. Ran well at the mile behind Coin Toss in the Group 2 Singapore Guineas this season. Each way play.
AMAZING BREEZE – This gelding has worked his way down the ratings but does have a way of popping his head in the places every now and then. Maybe a quartet filler at odds.
RACE 9
WAR FRONTIER – Will appreciate the return to class 5 where he has proven under the big weights in the past. CC Wong is a key booking who has had great success on the horse. He is a five-time poly track winner with two of those victories coming at the distance, respect.
SUPER POSH – This horse makes a much-awaited return to class 5 after a few successful runs up in class. Looking forward to seeing this runner back in grade with stable apprentice who has a great record on the horse taking 3kg off.
MAZE – Has had two great runs at the distance and grade in his last two starts since heading to class 5. Although he's yet to win, he is knocking on the door and finds another great race to pick up some prizemoney.
THE JUN – 1100m looks his preferred distance but he is a horse that is never too far away and a must for exotics with 55kg after the claim, keep safe.
RACE 10
WIN WIN – Gets back to the Polytrack surface where he has recorded two wins at this course and distance. Looked well in his recent trial where he finished second in very slick time.
SUMMER WIND – Looks good each way value after a massive run beaten a neck on the line coming from well back in the field. Mixes his performances and will be value.
CASH COVE – Looking to get back into some form since his last win back in January. Stepped out at the trials Tuesday morning and hit the line well.
FADABOY – Last start wasn't his best in recent runs but had genuine excuses that day. If you go off his two starts prior, he brings positive form lines and stable have found suitable conditions for him.
RACE 11
LORD'S COMMAND – This gelding is attracting plenty of attention since arriving with two impressive wins to date. Nunes on and he looks to handle the surface fine. Rises in class but is stacked full of ability.
GOLD TEN SIXTY-ONE – This four-time winner comes into this race with genuine claims and rarely runs a bad race. Settled for a second placing to Major King last start and always seems to run into one better. Forecast player.
AKHTAR – Drops back in distance after an on speed placing behind stablemate Major King where he carried 51.5kgs. Looks well weighted again to run a big race. Don't dismiss.
COSMIC DANCER – Speedy galloper who will look to be up there setting the fractions early. Proven he can make it at this grade and looked well in a trial last week finishing second in good time.
RACE 12
WEALTH ELITE – Sits up high in the weights but has been prepared for this race coming off the back of a strong minor placing where he was pegging back the winner with every stride. Brings good form as well as course and distance stats from the inform Burridge stable.
COOL SIXTY-ONE - Finished second to Asif about a month ago and will benefit with a few weeks between runs as many stables now are running them more than usual. The winner of that race has held the form and plays in the favor of this runner.
KICK – Huge run finishing second in similar conditions coming from well back to go down under a length behind Luxury Brand. Has since trialed in good order and should attract plenty of attention. Will need luck from a wide draw.
AFTERMATH – Sits as an emergency waiting to gain a run but he was the eye catcher in his last race finishing third coming from well back. If he gains a run watch for market support.
