Race analysis and race selections for Sunday's racing at Kranji
19 Aug 2012 | Singapore Turf Club 

RACE 1

An open race to start the day and one with plenty of chances. Back to Class 5 grade should suit Daring Journey (3). Last time in this grade was successful over 1400m and from barrier two should be in this for a long way. Affirmation (1) is another that will appreciate the drop back in grade and is sure to make a bold bid while Bull Shot (2) was strong in winning last time and with Joao Moreira staying on board should go close again. Veinte Un (6) broke through for a narrow win last time and can be followed up.

 

RACE 2

Another open contest. A good barrier draw and a step up in distance should suit All Approved (6). Found the line nicely last time and he should get a good run from the draw. Lord Roberto (1) has drawn awkwardly but did a good job last time and demands thought while Radiant Roi (2) ran on strongly last time and despite the draw must be included. Risk Factor (4) wasn’t too far away last time and has each-way claims.

 

RACE 3

After breaking his maiden status with a solid win last time, Pied Piper (5) can continue the good work again. Despite the wide draw and weight rise, he looks well off over the extra ground. Devonshire (2) has performed solidly in his efforts here in Singapore and with Joao Moreira on board must be respected while Champagne Needed (1) is down to Class 4 grade here looks an each-way threat. El Perigo (4) was close up last time in a solid display and from the good draw over the shorter trip will make a bold bid.

 

RACE 4

A tricky race. Lightning Ace (9) has been racing well of late and with a nice little weight drop should make a bold bid here. I’m Superman (2) did a solid job in winning last week and on the quick back up here must be respected while Can’t Touch Me (1) was also responsible for a good win last time and despite the weight wise should not be discounted. Prussian Jack (8) wasn’t too far away last time and with the rise in distance is sure to make a bold bid.

 

RACE 5

A race restricted for the fillies and mares and it’s not an easy affair. Sulmona (3) won one of these races back in April with Joao Moreira on board and he again takes the ride here. Expect her to go close from the inside draw. Country Club (1) has been racing well of late and back to this class will make a bold bid while Makkura (2) has done nothing wrong in her three runs to date in Singapore and is sure to again feature prominently. Hogwarts Express (5) is going to find this easier than the Group 3 race she contested last time and gets the chance to break through here.

 

RACE 6

Not a race to be getting carried away with. Golden Lido (1) has won five races and while his best form has been on the turf this certainly looks a winnable race. Supreme General (3) is better than his recent form suggests and looks an improver while Rocky Garden (6) ran a better race last time and is worthy of consideration here. Simple Man (4) has been around the mark in recent assignments and looks an each-way hope.

 

RACE 7

A weight drop and a better barrier draw should all help Jeram Glory (10) proving hard to hold out. Was run down late last time with 58kg and while up in class is fresh for this. Superczar (4) invariably runs well in this type of race and must again be respected while Quinta De Lago (3) recorded a solid win last time and while this is tougher should not be dismissed. Slither (6) has returned to racing following a long break with some handy performances and must not be left out of calculations following the rise in distance.

 

RACE 8

Not a race to be getting too carried away with. Zac Star Destroyer (3) ran an improved race last time when finishing third and with Joao Moreira getting on board is expected to feature prominently. Dan Noble (8) has been thereabouts in recent assignments and must be included in the hopes here while Coffee Kid (6) ran well two starts back before a fair effort from a wide draw last time and is worth another chance. Newfoundfame (5) has been freshened for a drop in trip here and should be hitting the line strongly.

 

RACE 9

Plenty of hopes here. Volkov (4) can mix his form but on his best behaviour must be given plenty of thought. Was a winner in this grade four starts back and he should get a good run from the draw. Shining Glory (1) led and fought on well last time and is sure to be in the firing line for a long way while Den (3) is racing in career best form having posted three wins on the trot and must again be respected. Tough Ruler (7) has drawn an awkward barrier but is fresh for this contest and cannot be discarded.

 

RACE 10

Best race for the day and it’s not an easy affair. Speedy Cat (8) has an excellent record and will appreciate the weight drop down from 58kg to 50kg here. Drawn the inside and will be tough to run down. Yin Xin (2) looked good winning last time and despite the 1.5kg weight rise will be hard to hold out while Mr Big (3) will strip fitter here and with the swing in the weights will be tough to hold out. Better Be The One (1) has a touch of class and fresh up here is expected to run well.

 

RACE 11

There was a lot to like about the win of Yastrzemski (5) at his latest outing. Shapes as though the rise in distance will be ideal and he should get a good run from the inside draw. Solitaire (1) just missed last time and after the claim for Jacky Low doesn’t look too badly off while Warspirit (2) won with some authority last time and with Joao Moreira getting on board here is certain to make a bold bid. Sky Protege (7) ran an excellent race last time in tougher grade at huge odds and a repeat of that will see him go close here.

 

RACE 12

The top four in the weights look likely to fight out the race. Good Buddy (3) should make a bold bid. Freshened after a good second last time he looks better off coming back to the 1200m and the Polytrack. Sacred Spring (4) has been a model of consistency this campaign and from the inside draw won’t be too far away while City Lad (1) is resuming but is going to find this easier than the Group 1 affair he contested last time and must be included. Irish Coffee (2) has been freshened following his second placing last time out and is sure to attract plenty of attention.
