RACE 1

SECONDWAVE (10) - Went very close last time out, has a nice barrier and with just 53kgs on his back, he can prove the one to beat.
DAYUAN (2) - Was just in behind the selection on their latest meeting and off similar terms here, the order home could well be the same.
KUBERA'S CHIEF (6) - Always seemingly runs a nice race and here shouldn't be any different. Will be bang there.
WITHOUT PREJUDICE (7) - Still yet to win one but has a little chance to get into the frame on recent efforts.

RACE 2

CONATUS G (1) - Boxed on well enough last start. Has since been back to the trials to win in 62.04. One of the main players.
KISS YOUR SONG (2) - Went around favourite last start and was the only challenger to the winner. Must include in this despite being drawn out in the carpark.
WARRIOR KING (6) - Had to contend with an awful barrier last time and was eased back. He had traffic issues in the straight.
MR O'REILLY (11) - Ended up doing it tough in transit first-up and should improve from a better draw for this assignment.

RACE 3

MIGHTY EMPEROR (2) - Never looked a winning threat last start but was doing his best work late and should be considered here.
ARHAT (1) - In the market last start. He was slow away from the start and he looked to have more to offer late in the race.
LORD OF CLOUD (4) - Had significant traffic issues in the Singapore Guineas. Has trained since and should be a major player with Daniel Moor up.
SUPERNOVA (3) - He is getting on in years now but still looks to be competitive. Nothing wrong with his distance record and the 4kg claim could be a factor.

RACE 4

SATELLITE CLASSIC (5) - Might be the way to go in what isn't a deep race. His form is not that bad, and John O'Hara has his horses going well.
BEN GUNN (2) - Winner over the course and distance back in February and with Vlad Duric booked he should be considered.
SUCCESS COME TRUE (12) - Has been racing well enough to suggest another solid run is on the cards if translating Polytrack form to the turf.
WILDE RYKER (1) - Could be one in this line-up to add a bit of value now that he is in the weakest race he has contested so far here in Singapore.

RACE 5

KASHAN (1) - Has been out of it recently with running over unsuitable trips. Well beaten in trial recently but respect here.
SPUR ME ON (3) - Much improved effort last Friday night. He is a three-time winner at this distance and can win.
GOOD WARRIOR (7) - Led with a good kick in the straight and just got run over in the final stages. Going from Maiden to Class 5 company.
SPIRIT SEVEN (2) - Scratched the last two times he was accepted to run. Better prospect on the Polytrack and recent trial was okay.

RACE 6

NOAH FROM GOA (3) - Group 1 winner in his prime but hasn't won for a long time (Dec 15). Placed in the last two runnings of the Zabeel Mile (G2) and looked hugely impressive in a trial win (8L) on May 26 with blinkers on. Trip may be shorter than ideal, but should be just too good in this.
SUPER FORTUNE (6) - An extremely talented type who ran fifth in the Group 1 Lion City Cup at the end of May. Won a trial very impressively recently (61.50). Looks sure to run a big race.
ARAMCO (2) - Winner of the Group 3 Rocket Man Sprint back in April and another to have looked good at the trials in recent times. Will certainly give his running for a stable going well.
MR FANTASTIC (5) - Just behind Super Fortune in the Lion City Cup in May. An honest galloper who should run a sound race here. Place chance.

RACE 7

KINGS RYKER (1) - Improved effort last start in a stronger race than this. Placed in two of three over this distance.
O'REILLY'S DANCER (2) - Would prefer to see him over 2000m. He ran home extra well last start. Worth another look here.
LITTLE MASTER (3) - Stepping to 1800m the first time. Wasn't going to catch the winner last start but had the rest covered.
DUSSELDORF (5) - Carried plenty of support last start. Loomed up but stopped on his run. Holds a Derby entry. Keep safe in this.

RACE 8
EASTIGER (3) - An ultra-consistent horse of late and his third to Mr Hanks is now looking like a strong formline for this race.
GOLD STRIKE (10) - Broke the maiden tag over course and distance last time and given he is still only lightly-raced, he should have the scope to progress with racing.
STORM TROOPER (4) - Caught the eye when running home strongly behind the useful Clarton Treasure last time out. If he replicates that run, he is a chance with the champion jockey booked.
DAZZLING SPEED (2) - Won a weaker race last start but did prove his effectiveness at this trip and should be included.
