RACE 1

GOOD BET (9) - A chance is taken with Good Bet in the opener here. A good run last time gives him a solid chance with Daniel Moor now going on board.

CASSIS OOLONG (5) - A largely consistent horse at this level and should once again run well with conditions to suit.

SIMPANG (10) - This 10yo has run well enough in defeat in his last two runs and a repeat of that should see him in the shake-up.

LUCKY BOY (7) - Has a place chance in this line-up.


RACE 2

CENTENARY DIAMOND (1) - Beat Majestic last time when finishing third on September 2. Should be able to beat Majestic again in this race. Had an okay trial back on September 20 - which should put the horse spot-on.

STREET PARTY (12) - Won a trial last time in 61.08secs. Has been consistent cashing some cheques in the last two runs. Needs to improve and positive booking with jockey Daniel Moor on board. Stretches out an extra 200m.

GOLD KINGDOM (11) - Had two runs in Restricted Maiden grade. Those runs have been average - but Amirul Ismadi is back on board - could be third-up is the charm for this horse.

MAJESTIC (2) - Catches a better draw tonight. Was running on well over 1400m on September 2 behind Top Knight. Capable of improvement with Salim Yusoff taking the ride.


RACE 3

LONHRO GOLD (1) - Has developed a good record in short career and gets conditions to suit from the inside alley over the 1000m journey. Cliff Brown and Michael Rodd are starting to hit form, so must be respected.

CERDAN (3) - Drops back in class after finishing well down the track last time out. Well suited on the Polytrack surface and will appreciate the four-kilo claim from Iskandar Rosman. Major player.

TARO SAN (5) - Was well beaten last start but has since trialled well to make amends. Appears to have the upside to improve and is well placed in this affair with the claim. Must be considered.

DASH (6) - Won two starts back over the track/distance in the same grade. Well drawn to figure and gets along well with Olivier Placais, so don't ignore. Worth including on best efforts.

RACE 4

ACCUMULATION (1) - Would seemingly be the form pick in this event, one that lacks any real strength in depth and can win this at start No 7.

CASH IS KING (2) - Has a couple of lengths to find with the selection but is weighted to get much closer to him this time. Should give Accumulation most to think about.

MAI DARKO (3) - Forget his poor effort last time out. Judged on runs prior, he should get very competitive from the front.

CALL IT (5) - His run over the course and distance two starts back should see him to good effect here. Now back to the mile.


RACE 5

THOMAS DE LAGO (4) - Trying to go one better tonight after a string of runner-up spots. Has been beaten by some good horses like Reign and Iffragal (second on Tuesday). Sits well in this group - should go close

ASHHAB (5) - Won his barrier trial before the debut run on September 19. Was ridden with blinkers first time behind Paddington, only beaten under three lengths. Should improve off that run - will be at the sharp end of the race competing

GROUND ATTACK (2) - Forget last run on August 31 - study the close second on August 3. Only beaten by a very short distance and can be considered to be coming in this race a winner without a penalty if you scratch the last run. Interesting chance.

PURE SPARK (3) - Great performance last time - came up against the above average Richebourg. Was leading into the home straight. In this race, there is no horse of Richebourg's calibre - can be in the shake-up.


RACE 6

GANNET (2) - Disqualified last time out (rider weighed in light). He would be like a live chance in this basement grade and barring incident, he can win this.

VENUS DE MILO (10) - The wide draw is not ideal, but is in decent form and should be included.

BERLINETTA (11) - Is reunited with Nooresh Juglall who gets the best out of this 4yo. So with him back on board, he is one for exotics.

SILENT ARROW (6) - Back in trip slightly here and looks as if he can once again go well. Place chance.

RACE 7

OCULIST (3) - Returns to racing after a freshen-up. Well drawn to figure and returns to the turf track where he has performed in better company than this. Expect bold showing.

TOP KNIGHT (8) - Won impressively last start in Restricted grade. This assignment is definitely tougher but has upside to improve. Needs luck from draw but can fight out the finish.

LOVING YOU (4) - Narrowly beaten last start in the same grade. Finished well down the track in only turf run in Singapore so must lift on that performance. In the mix on best credentials.

LUCKY HADA (1) - Last-start winner who has since had a trial and finds a suitable assignment to contend. This son of Testa Rossa strikes as if he will progress through his grades and continue to improve.


RACE 8

ATTENTION (5) - Has shown plenty of ability in three career runs in Singapore. Had no luck last start but still hit the line impressively and finds a suitable race to make amends. Hard to beat from the good draw.

SUN ELIZABETH (4) - Handy mare who has been knocking on the door in recent times. Will appreciate the step back in trip to 1400m and switches back to turf surface. Serious contender.

BLACK QUAIL (1) - Finished runner-up in the same grade last start over the track/distance. Needs the right breaks from the tricky draw but can figure with a repeat dose. Worth thought.

SATELLITE WARRIOR (8) - Last-start winner in the same grade but this assignment appears tougher. Well drawn and gets the right man in Glen Boss on board for the job so must be included in the mix.
