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

RACE 1

 

Jockey Soo Khoon Beng will be on a high after his successful trip to Korea. He gets aboard last-start winner Oh Yes Oh Noe (3), a horse he knows inside out. Nicely drawn in barrier No 2. Looks like the one they will have to beat. Santa Anita (7) does not win often but he has been around the mark of late and with Joao Moreira doing the honours, he can finish in the money. Samurai Kid (6) showed early speed when wearing blinkers again at his last outing. Likely to be up there from his good gate.  Three Kings (8) is dropping sharply back in distance. He does have good gate speed, though. Not without a chance even if he would have preferred longer.

 

RACE 2

 

Red River Rock (4) should have his fair share of supporters again. Always well-supported but has not quite delivered. Seems to handle Polytrack a shade better. Winkers on. Place claims. Perfect Love (9) made ground at debut to finish behind the placegetters. Step-up to 1200m should suit even better. Drawn an alley. Keep safe. Mission Empire (3) was just simply outclassed in the Magic Millions Juvenile Championship. Previous form was reasonable. Even handled the Polytrack fairly well at debut. Better showing expected in this easier affair. Machfive (8) did not fare too badly at debut. Will surely strip fitter this time. Improved showing on the cards.

 

RACE 3

 

Debutant Texan Takeover (3) is a two-time Victorian winner who looks set to show his wares early. Won a barrier trial on July 17 and goes into the race fit and ready. Perwira (1) is knocking on the door. All he need is a good dose of luck. Go close. Alpha Dynamic (8) came within a whisker of scoring at his last run. Had to burn some petrol to cross to lead from wide barrier. Drawn better this time. Place chance. Double S (9) put in an encouraging run after a freshen-up. On that run, he must be included in your calculations.

 

RACE 4

 

Tomorrows Dreams (4) who will be ridden by Joao Moreira. Ran a cracking third with pacifiers two runs back before plodding on for fifth last time out. Blinkers on. Drawn in gate No 1. Excellent chance to open his account. He will however have to contend with Oasis Spur (3) who beat all but the smart Super Junior at his last outing. Court Magician (6) won a barrier trial on August 2. Forward showing first-up expected. Mr Know It All (9) improved significantly at his second run.

 

RACE 5

 

After his storming run to finish second to Squall Line last time out, Selegi (4) may be hard to beat here if he reproduces that form. Cash Dot Com (1) is drawn awkwardly but the three-kilo claim from apprentice Tengku Rehaizat will be a big help. Should be in the hunt. Kingracer (9) ran a solid debut second and would have trimmed up further after that. One for the tierce. This is a lot tougher for last-start winner Jet Ace (8), but he can still hold his own and contest a minor placing.

 

RACE 6

 

Tricky race with not many chances around. Blueberry Power (1) is such an honest old mare that you just cannot overlook in such races. Will be thereabouts again. Specta Dilemma (5) turned in a fine run first-up from a long spell. Seems to go well with pacifiers. Must be rated with an even chance. Sky Storm (4) ran on late at his last start, albeit beaten a fair way back. Not the most reliable sort, but he is not without a say in this weak lot. New Lease Of Life (2) is resuming after nearly a year off. Previous form was good, but over more ground. Will probably need the run, but a late rush is not to be ruled out.

 

RACE 7

 

A very competitive line-up. Dujardin (6) made stacks of ground in the Emirates Singapore Derby. Scored his two wins at Kranji on Polytrack. Commands plenty of respect. Lightning Thief (9) is making his comeback after his unplaced effort in the Emirates Singapore Derby last month. Ran second in a barrier trial last week. This looks easier and his last two wins were scored back-to-back over Polytrack. Freezemaster (7) normally runs on turf but saluted at his only outing on the alternative track. Going great guns at the moment and won’t surprise if he takes a close hand in this. Steadfast Warrior (8) will stay all day. Last win was very impressive. Faces stiffer task but is still a place chance.

 

RACE 8

 

Incredible Hulk (7) has a powerful finish but he gets too far back. If he can time his run better, he should be able to land this. Musashi Mambo (3) has made headway since wearing blinkers. Longer trip is up his alley. Shopping List (1) tends to wind up late. Can be a factor. Top Shooter (5) has shown a bit of form without really threatening at his recent runs and he may sneak into the minors here.

 

RACE 9

 

Though he did not score a dominant win at debut, Super Junior (11) still did a good job and would have improved further from that first run under the belt. Drawn an alley. Looks hard to beat. Super Kenny (9) was a shade disappointing at his second run after such an impressive debut. First Polytrack test is a question mark. Pitstop (8) is also another one of the top juveniles. The Aushorse Golden Horseshoe winner will also be at his first run over Polytrack. Blinker pacifiers on. Leading hope. Golden Dominator (1) dons pacifiers for the first time. Has lost his way a little. Has job cut out but can bounce back to form.

 

RACE 10

 

The undefeated Emerald Hill (1) is the clear standout here. Step-up to 1200m should not be of any concern. All poised to continue his winning streak. Tropical Forest (7) flashed home late at his last start. Will relish extra 200m. Rush (6) is slowing coming to hand. Can mark him down on your exotic bet coupons. Benji’s Rule (8) got up narrowly at his last start. This looks harder but he can still pinch a place.
