RACE 1

Kamar Dancer (2) has been around the mark without winning of late. Backs up after his second to Atlixco last Sunday but is sure to be in this for a long way. Enzo (1) is fairly handy in this company and deserves some consideration here. Not the most reliable but should be right there in the mix if things go his way. It’s been a long time between drinks for Mongolian Star (6). On his recent good run, he should be thereabouts. Each-way claims. Golden Lido (3) probably needs more ground but if the pace is on he could finish in the top four.

RACE 2

Jonathan (3) showed he was not without ability at a barrier trial on July 26 when a neck-second to Angry Cat. Can run a forward race at debut. Another newcomer War Lord (8) comes in with fair barrier trial form and could run a smart race first-up. Idealistic Moment (2) did make some ground towards the end at his debut. Would have benefitted from that run and can make his presence felt in this small affair. Victory Wings (7) is backing up from his fair eighth at debut last Friday. Improvement expected.

RACE 3

Last time out, Rock Art (7) dead-heated with Jet Ace who went on to win last Sunday. Looks hard to beat in this ordinary field. King’s Friend (4) raced in good company before he was spelled. If he goes well fresh, he could have a strong say in this. Zac Heaven (5) had every chance at his last run but was fairly one-paced in the home straight. Worth another chance. That’s Gold (2) was defeated by some handy sorts at his last few runs. Faces a weaker lot here. Can surprise.

RACE 4

First Express (2) should be a major force to reckon with here after his closing second to Audio Friend at his last start and gets his chance to shed maiden status. After a string of promising runs, Ktronic (4) has seen his form nosedive in recent runs. Is better than that and can redeem himself especially with no weight on his back. Destiny Action (1) mixes his form. Third to Mr Big in Magic Millions Juvenile Championship in 2011, but has not quite lived up to promise. On his best form, he can fight out the finish here. Burn It Up (6) ran his best race to-date last time out. Showed early pace only to weaken late and while he steps up to 1600m, he is an outside chance.

RACE 5

Super Velox (6) is overdue for a win and looks the goods here. Blinkers seem to have done the trick on Dos Equis (3). Will be running on and is a leading hope. One On One (10) is not the worst here and has place claims while Subdue (9) has performed soundly of late and looks a threat in an open race.

RACE 6

Ignore Wonder General’s (4) last run when he missed the start and came back with debris in his trachea. Previous form was solid and can redeem himself. Chinese Tycoon (1) is still looking for his maiden success after 16 outings, but his recent starts with blinkers on suggest his turn is not far off. Go close. With two seconds at his last three runs, Zac Imperial (5) seems to be one of the better contenders in this moderate field, though his record of 1 win in 44 starts is admittedly not all that flash. Win Lots (8) is capable on his day and is worth thought in this line-up.

RACE 7

Forgiven (3) was simply outclassed in the Singapore Derby. The yielding track probably did not suit. This is more up his alley as he is reverting to Polytrack, over which he scored four of his five wins and can bounce back to better things here. Encosta Diablo (2) has had two runs under the belt but over distances not made to suit. Was making ground steadily at his last outing and must be kept safe. There was plenty to like about the way Steadfast Warrior (6) powered to the line at his last run. Not the best on Polytrack, though but has place claims. Last-start winner Vaya Condios (8) will find this tougher but if he gets his way in front, he will be hard to run down.

RACE 8

Nothing much to write home about here. The good runs for Pack A Punch (1) are few and far between but he did show some ability at a few starts. Can figure here. Get It (9) is backing up from last Sunday’s fair run. Previous record was better and is not without a chance here. Distinct Niche (6) seems to handle Polytrack better these days though he scored his only win over this trip on turf, albeit more than a year ago. Dan Noble (5) is a veteran of 68 starts and though his latest runs have been average, he is right in his element here and can bounce back to form.

RACE 9

Country Club (8) is fairly consistent and scored her last win over the same trip and surface. This is a touch easier and she may finish closer this time. Maple Star (5) is resuming. Previous form was on the rise but he went backwards at his last start when caught deep before being rested. Won a nice trial on July 31 and has a fair chance first-up. Squall Line (3) came with a well-timed run to bounce back to his best at his last outing. Still in good nick and cannot be ignored here. U Got It (1) seems to have lost his form, but he did serve notice of a return to his best when he tried to make all at his last start but he then weakened out of it. Not without a chance.
