Thursday, 22 March 2018: Form previews for Kranji, Friday March 23.

Zac Kasa

RACE 1
RACING TALENT (2) – Jockey was suspended for two months over the run last start, should have finished a lot closer. Must be respected.
GENERAL CONATUS (6) – Had a good run in transit last time behind the leader, boxed on solidly and must be a hope again.
AMISTAD (7) – Didn’t have all the favours from the start when he missed the kick, prepared to forgive and follow again.
COOL CAT (9) – The veteran of Singapore racing who has to be included into the multiples, good that he’s back on the Polytrack.

RACE 2
BEAUTIFUL DAY (2) – Came off second best to what looks a nice type in the shape of Lord O’Reilly when last seen, has since trialled nicely for a 2nd and should be right in the thick of things here even from a wide barrier.
ARC RAIDER (8) – Showed huge improvement from first to second start when just a whisker behind Beautiful Day, clearly has the scope to improve further and won’t be anything like the $193 shot he was last time with the champion jockey in the saddle.
BASILISK (1) – Has some decent place form, and that once again could be the case here.
LADY COUNSEL (12) – One at a price that can go well now back up to this distance once again and she is a filly to keep an eye on when up even further in distance.

RACE 3
ZAC KASA (6) – This horse has stack loads of ability and he showed that last start when only half tuned-up. Big show.
LOVING YOU (12) – Produced a magnificent effort first-up to win, both her and the second-placed cleared out. Nice type worth following.
BOY WONDER (1) – Had been threatening to win for a while and delivered last start on the Polytrack, never looked in doubt.
IMPERIUM (5) – Two runs so far have yielded a 3rd (heat stress) & 1st. Raced a little keen but still was good enough to overcome that.

RACE 4
ZAHIR (7) – Nicely suited by conditions and finds himself in a very winnable race on the back of three sound efforts in defeat. Has every chance in this.
SATELLITE PRINCE (1) – A massive player at this C/D (5 wins) and even with a big weight he can surely run very well with conditions in his favour.
KEY ON KODIAC (5) – Had no chance with a well-ridden winner last time out (Joyous – made all), but did box on well for the runner-up spot, should go okay here.
BIG REGARDS (6) – In good form at present and another you have to include.

RACE 5
MR DUJARDIN (8) – Kept on fighting over 1800m last start only beaten a short margin, talented type who at his best can win
MILLENNIUM’S RULE (3) – He seems to be racing in good form at the moment. First run at 2000m but must be respected.
YULONG HONOR (6) – Has improved with every run to date so far and it looks like the step-up to 2000m should be ideal.
JUSTICE FAIR (2) – Improved effort last start when placed 3rd over 1800m and has placed over 2000m in his only run.

RACE 6
NOVA MISSILE (3) – He was only beaten 1L last start behind Distinctive Darci in a Kranji A, must go close in this field.
KRATOS (6) – Comes into this race fresh off the back of a trial only beaten 0.5L into 5th. Should run well fresh, stable is firing.
AUTUMN RUSH (4) – Racing in career-best form at present taking his record to 4 wins from 11 starts. Worth a look here.
MIGHTY CONQUEROR (2) - This is exactly his type of race, last year he was winning course/distance - watch the market.

RACE 7
BUENOS AIRES (9) – Close-up in two decent little Class 3 events on recent starts, has a light weight and is entitled to go very close again. Big player.
SIAM SAPPHIRE (3) – Was only a length behind the selection on their latest meeting and is weighted to get a little closer to him this time around.
MACARTHUR (2) – Talented sort, who can race well fresh, did trial well recently to suggest a good run can be expected.
SILKINO (12) – Was not too far away from some very useful types when 4th last time out, he once again can run another solid race in this. EW chance.

RACE 8
ARC TRIUMPH (2) – The drop back to the minimum trip will help. Ran well when close-up behind dead-heaters My Horse (runs here) and Safeer (improving type) last time out, definite form claims with excellent apprentice booked.
MY HORSE (1) – Always a quartet player in a race of this nature, will have to find more to confirm form with Arc Triumph, but can certainly fill the frame.
ALARANCH (11) – Is a pace influence here and she didn’t run too badly last time and loves the 1000m, but will need to overcome a poor gate.
HAYTHAM (7) – Could pick up the pieces for 4th.
