Friday, 19 October 2018: Form previews for Singapore racing Sunday October 21

Debt Collector winning the Raffles Cup

RACE 1

EVERYBODY HAPPY (4) - Second-up here. When resuming was third behind Dusseldorf and his effort was full of merit. Should have further improvement to come following that run and gets leading rider in Michael Rodd. Sure to run well.

DREAMWEAVER (3) - Gets a class drop here and although this horse has only won three from 30 in Singapore, he may find the lead a bit easier here and have something left at the end. Has gone far too hard in front in recent runs. His third placing three starts ago in a Class 4 Premier would give him a chance.

D'GREAT COMMAND (7) - Is having his second run here in Singapore. Loomed up into the race approaching the 250m mark first-up but the horse got tired and weakened. Should be fitter now and can improve.

WILD BEE (2) - Coming off a maiden win and this does look harder but is still lightly raced and could measure up in a race like this. Worth including as at least a place chance.


RACE 2

LINCOLN MOONLIGHT (8) - Has performed well in two Restricted Maidens to date. Has shown good ability and appears well suited by the good draw getting down in the weights. Expect bold showing.

SUPER WIN (10) - Has only been narrowly beaten in two career runs and certainly gets conditions to suit again. Remains at the track/distance and Olivier Placais retains the ride. Major player.

MONTE NERONE (3) - Fought on gamely last start when the leader had cheap sectionals upfront. Will be able to take up a handy spot from the good draw and is worth a thought on best efforts. Appears value.

NADEEM SAPPHIRE (2) - Returns from a break and has had four trials leading into this affair. The form from his first preparation has been franked and finds a suitable assignment to break the maiden tag. Must be considered.


RACE 3

CENTENARY DIAMOND (3) - Won impressively over the track/distance last start. Despite climbing in the ratings points, he finds another suitable task and will appreciate Michael Rodd retaining the ride. Major player.

VERIZON (4) - Yet to win in six career outings in Singapore but has been racing well in recent times. Had no luck last time out and the decision to back him up quickly must be respected from this stable. Contender.

TOP KNIGHT (6) - Has developed a respectable record in a short career. Steps up to 1600m for the first time and is well drawn to perform yet again. Has the upside to improve so must be included.

LUCKY HADA (1) - Last run was better than it looked. Didn't have conditions to suit last time out when the pace slackened so can make amends here stepping up in trip. Must be considered on best efforts.


RACE 4

LETITGO (2) - Finished second last start in the Group 3 El Dorado Classic. Will find this assignment significantly easier and will appreciate the claim of Mohd Firdaus. Capable of contending with a repeat dose of last start.

LIM'S REVENT (3) - Has developed a respectable record in five runs in Singapore. Looks well suited stepping up in trip and finds another winnable assignment. Major player at the business end.

GOLD REWARD (7) - Consistent customer who is racing well and is one of the fittest commodities in this affair. Steps back in trip marginally which will be no issue but the wide draw must be of some concern. Include.

VALUE OF JUSTICE (1) - Yet to figure in three recent runs in Singapore but brings respectable credentials from overseas. Will strip fitter for this assignment and will appreciate the rise in journey. Don't ignore.


RACE 5

KING LOUIS (7) - Promising horse coming off a dominant win in the El Dorado Classic. It's hard to see others out of that race beating him. Has a turn of foot and can put these away.

MIGHTY KENNY (8) - Finished powerfully when first-up from a five-month break in a Kranji Stakes B. Attacked the line well and should appreciate the step-up to 1800m. Looks the main danger to King Louis.

DICTON (12) - Was a good run in the El Dorado Classic. Doesn't look to have a sharp turn of speed, would be better at 2000m and beyond but has to be at least considered.

MAKANANI (2) - Has raced extremely well in the last three times the mare has stepped out and can't see why she won't run boldly again. Ran a creditable fourth in the El Dorado Classic and should race up on the speed here.


RACE 6

MY BIG BOSS (11) - Stepping up in class here following his maiden win when first-up from a spell. Had only had the one trial so will strip fitter for that run. His form as a two-year-old in Group class suggests he can take the next step and measure right up in a race like this. Top chance.

QUANTUM (2) - Ran on strongly behind Shoot Up High at his Singapore debut on October 5 and should improve off that run. Glen Boss stays on board this horse and is from a strong stable. Must respect.

IFFRAGAL (10) - Settled just behind the speed at latest run and performed well. Joao Moreira did the steering on that occasion during the International Jockeys Challenge meeting. Should be included.

EASTIGER (5) - Is first-up here. In leading Lee Freedman stable and looked good running second in a recent barrier trial here leading into this. Last preparation was racing very consistently. Can get into the placings.


RACE 7

BE BEE (2) - Has developed a very serious record in a relatively short career. Returned from a break last start when winning a Kranji Stakes A and will certainly strip fitter second-up. Expect bold showing.

ARAMCO (5) - Had conditions to suit last time out when sitting off a hot speed upfront. Well drawn and the leading rider Vlad Duric takes the ride so certainly must be respected. Capable of repeating the dose.

MISTER YEOH (3) - Returned from a freshen-up last time out and won with a lot in hand. This is tougher but has the upside to improve and will certainly strip fitter for this affair. Major player.

FAALTLESS (4) - Last years winner of the Garden City Trophy. Has trialled smartly leading into this affair and looks ready to go fresh from a long layoff. Must be respected on best efforts.


RACE 8

TIME TO ROCK (11) - Brings a respectable record from Australia but failed to show up at her Singapore debut. Has since trialled well and will appreciate the claim of Ng Choon Kiat to make amends. Major player on best credentials.

CHOCANTE (8) - Was game in defeat last start when finishing second to Mister Yeoh. Remains at the track/distance, well drawn and Vlad Duric retains the ride. Can go one better than last start in this affair.

SIAM BLUE VANDA (13) - Unbeaten in two career runs. Lightly-raced and appears to have plenty of upside but certainly steps up in grade for this assignment. Can win again with natural improvement.

UNCONQUERED (6) - Hard to knock on recent efforts. Has been racing well and finds another suitable assignment but does switch from the Polytrack to the turf. Capable of figuring with a repeat dose of latest outings.


RACE 9

DEBT COLLECTOR (1) - Came with his trademark big finishing burst to win the Raffles Cup four weeks ago. He's a star racehorse here in Singapore and looks to be in top form. Will be very hard to hold out here.

JUPITER GOLD (4) - The Singapore Derby winner has drawn wide here but he looks to be going very well. Was close up in the Raffles Cup and with any luck during the race, he looks among the main winning chances .

CIRCUIT LAND (2) - Was runner-up in the Raffles Cup and looks to have options here from where he has drawn. Can find a nice position and should run well.

PREDITOR (8) - Better suited under handicap conditions but will appreciate what should be a solid pace upfront. Capable of running on strongly. Don't ignore.


RACE 10

LIM'S LIGHTNING (7) - As a two-year-old, won the Group 2 Aushorse Golden Horseshoe and showed plenty of ability. At his first start back as a three-year-old, won impressively here on October 13. Has trialled well since and can only keep improving. Looks very hard to beat.

EYE GUY (1) - Was trapped wide last start and forced to cover a lot of extra ground. Was brave to fight on and run third behind Aramco in a Kranji Stakes A. Unfortunately draws wide again and will need luck but the horse is going well.

MAGIC WAND (4) - In-form galloper who has won two of his past three starts. Has the strong combination of Olivier Placais and Lee Freedman here and is a key runner for sure. Must be included as a solid chance.

SUPER TYCOON (12) - May lack the class of a few other horses here but has been racing well and has the experienced Barend Vorster aboard to guide this galloper into a good position during the race. Place claims.
