Race analysis and race selections for Friday's racing at Kranji
15 Jun 2012 | Singapore Turf Club 

RACE 1

 

Perfect Kid (4) never kicked when well backed at his last start. He may have scored his only win on turf but gives the impression he handles Polytrack better these days. Deserves another chance. Last-start winner Maha Veeran (10) must be rated with a good chance although he does not win often. Will be thereabouts. His My Idol (2) is dropping back in distance again. May find this too sharp again but cannot be ruled out in this moderate field. Carnival Star (1) is down in grade again and with a senior jockey aboard this time, he must not be discounted.

 

RACE 2

 

On his debut second to Pitstop in the Aushorse Golden Horseshoe, Easy Man (11) looks hard to beat. He would have improved a couple of lengths since his run and the drop in distance suits as well. Trainer Sam Chua has had a good run with US-bred juveniles of late and Jet Top (8) could be another one. Ran second to Asclepius, a debut winner last Friday. Forward run expected. After two runs, Wairakei (5) should strip fitter this time. Drawn nicely and will be able to put himself in the firing line from there. Rory (12) never put in a blow at his second start. He just gave in when caught wide throughout. Jumps from a wide gate again, but can redeem himself.

 

RACE 3

 

Sebastien (4) flew home last time out. Will relish the extra 100m. Big say. Positive Thinking (3) has been a model of consistency finishing four times on podium in six runs. Blinkers seem to have worked at his last start. Will have his fair share of admirers again. Never Retreat (8) has finally shown a glimpse of ability at his seventh start. Gets back and will run home in concluding stages. Risk Factor (7) is making slow headway and is worth a place consideration in this.

 

RACE 4

 

Terra Firma (2) is backing up following his narrow defeat at the hands of Winning Success last Friday. Blinker-pacifiers on. Go close. Flying Clipper (5) who normally likes to start his run from the 1000m, went for a change of tactics last time out, waiting till the home turn to unwind. He stormed home for fourth. On that run, he must be respected. Knight’s Paradise (7) finally opened his account at his 21st attempt last March but has been laid off since. Must be included in calculations from now on. Golden Lark (3) makes some ground late. With some luck, he can finish in top four.

 

RACE 5

 

New Zealand mare Makkura (1) scored a fighting win at debut. Fitter, she should be a major force to reckon with again, especially as she has drawn an alley again. Arapuni (6) showed a return to form at his last start. The rising eight still has some juice left and can make his presence felt here. After his last-start win, Cabrera (7) is up in grade, but this is not an overly strong field. Place claims. Danzig Rocket (2) has found the opposition a little tough of late. This is easier.

 

RACE 6

 

Not much to get too excited over here. Rich Born (1) is back from a let-up following his last-start win in March and looks good to resume on a winning note from barrier No 1. Roman Knight (5) rattled home to just miss out two runs back. Will be in the hunt. Jack (2) did not run badly at his last start. Looked like he was making good ground but peaked on his run in the end. If American Tycoon (9) can overcome his awkward alley, he can figure prominently here. Longer trip should suit. Mr Cool Man (12) is racing again after finishing unplaced last Friday. Not the worst. Place claims.

 

RACE 7

 

Cash Luck (5) is back from a freshen-up after he ran a cracking second to Super Easy first-up from his unsuccessful Dubai assault. Only query is Polytrack, which he has yet to score over. But he is in top shape and will be the horse to beat. Fatkid (2) has been a bit out of sorts since his last win more than a year ago, but gives every indication he is back to his best on his last-start fast-finishing second to Arowana Dot Com on SIA Cup night. Flying West (3) did not have things his way last time out. Raced only once on Polytrack with creditable results. If he is left alone in front in this small field, he will be hard to get past. Jamal Malik (1) never pinged at his last start but he is a classy individual who can bounce back to his best in this. Hefty load on his back, though.

 

RACE 8

 

Precisely (3) should be the one to follow again. He has plenty of early toe, and from his good draw, he should be up on the speed from the outset. Can go all the way. Tough Ruler (9) was caught wide at his last start and can be forgiven for his lacklustre performance. Can atone even if the gate is just slightly better this time. Jet Ace (2) is a tough fighter and should have a smothered run from his good draw this time. Big say. This is tougher for My Sacrifice (5) but on his last-start win, he is on the way up and gives the impression he can hold his own here.

 

RACE 9

 

Speed Demon (2) found the opposition a shade tougher at his last run. He still ran on strongly. Go close again. Bullet Fly (7) has already shown his potential with a win at his second start, but he is at his first Polytrack test. Can’t fault his form and he should be right on the money again. Volkov (3) has a big heart and is right in his element here. Keep safe. Humor Town (6) did not quite let down as expected at his last start. Drawn well. Improved run on the cards.
