RACE 1DIAMOND BEAUTY (4) – Not a lot went right last start, so must be forgiven. Well suited stepping up in trip and has the credentials to contest the business end. Respect.
SUPER TALENT (7) – Has been racing well without winning in recent outings. The step-up in trip raises some concern but will appreciate Benny Woodworth retaining the ride.
WECANDO (2) – Handy performer who has developed a respectable record. Well suited over the journey and gets in well at the weights with Simon Kok Wei Hoong’s claim.
LIFE IS GAMBLE (6) – Has been struggling to produce best in recent outings but is worth thought on career credentials. Don’t ignore for the minor end.
RACE 2MR FAT KIDDY (3) – Flashed home late last start when only narrowly beaten. Finds conditions to suit and has the ability to take out a race of this nature. Major player.
ON LINE (9) – Performed well on debut. Will appreciate the step-up in trip to 1400m and will strip fitter for this affair. Serious contender.
HUNTSMAN (7) – Has been knocking on the door. Will appreciate the step back in journey and has the upside to improve third-up. In the mix.
FIGHT TO VICTORY (1) – Becoming exposed but brings race experience to this affair. Gets in well at the weights with the claim so don’t dismiss.
RACE 3SNIP (4) – Looks ready to win. Has been knocking on the door in recent outings and finds conditions to suit yet again. Capable of contending the business end.
COUSTEAU (1) – Bounced back to winning form two starts ago and has subsequently followed it up with a good run. Worth considering yet again.
WELL DESERVED (6) – Broke maiden status last start after a long run of minor placings. Well drawn to perform so don’t ignore with a repeat dose.
SUPERSONICSURPRISE (12) – Overraced at his last start and weakened out. Mixes his form but on his day, he can stake a claim in this.
RACE 4GROS PITON (9) – Will relish drop back to 1100m. Nearly made all last time out. Ready to open account.
PURE SPARK (3) – Showed ability in only four runs last year. In work for a while. Gave strong hints at his barrier trials he had not lost that. Big say.
ORIENT EXPRESS (1) – Gave a glimpse of ability two runs back and then went backwards. Returned as a roarer, though. Deserves another chance.
GOLDEN WIN (7) – Making slow headway. Doesn’t seem to be a reliable sort, but in this bunch when quality is not exactly replete, he could run a place.
RACE 5EASY DOES IT (5) – Has got the foot back on the till. Will appreciate step-up to seven furlongs. This could be his winning turn.
TRAPIO (4) – Coming back to hand. Last-start effort over course and distance indicates a return to the winner’s circle is not too far.
CLARTON PALACE (9) – Scored two wins in Class 5 company but faces stiffer competition in Class 4. Seems well on the training tracks. Worth following.
ABSOLVIDO (3) – Been struggling against Class 4 company. With Simon Kok Wei Hoong up and a three-kilo claim, he should be in the firing line.
RACE 6CLARTON STAR (7) – Probably needs longer but if the pace is on, there is no reason why he can’t come through over the mile. Can give comeback jockey Azhar Ismail a welcome present back after a long time on the sidelines due to work permit issues.
CLOUDBURST (4) – Stablemate to Clarton Star. Made a solid dash to the line at his last run. In his element in Class 5 and over that trip. In-form yard has a second runner of choice in this race.
HEPHAESTUS (11) – Won last time out but remains a horse who doesn’t win out of turn. Still competitive in this kind of race when in the mood. Take on trust.
YULONG SHENGDAO (2) – Has started to make his presence felt after dropping to Class 5 level, coupled with a claimer for some weight relief. Same strategy adopted here. Not the worst.
RACE 7WIND TRAIL (4) – Progressive horse who is worth forgiving last start when the race wasn’t run to suit. Track record holder over this journey, so must be respected in this affair.
MR DUJARDIN (2) – Has been performing below market expectation in recent outings but is worth considering in this affair with some weight relief. Major player.
MIDDLE KINGDOM (5) – Hard to knock on recent efforts. Steps up in marginally in trip which will be no concern, so must be included in the mix.
SUN PITTSBURGH (12) – Fit commodity who is racing well without winning. Will appreciate the lightweight and is capable of figuring with the right breaks.
RACE 8REDOUBT (8) – Showed improvement last start. Finds conditions to suit over the track/distance and is well drawn to perform. Major player.
OBSTACLES FREE (12) – Hard to knock on recent efforts. Most recent runs have been encouraging and is capable of contesting the business end again.
LEO (9) – Has struggled to produce best in recent outings. Has the upside to improve, so don’t ignore. Worth including.
PEER GYNT (10) – Hasn’t been far from the mark in recent efforts. The shorter journey isn’t ideal but is worth thought with even luck
RACE 9GRAND KOONTA (4) – Serious customer who was too strong for Class 4 material. Should be able to account for these as well despite the awkward alley. Hard to beat.
PAPARAZZI (2) – Outpaced at his last outing and only made ground late. Jockey Vlad Duric recommended step-up to 1400m but trainer Shane Baertschiger is sticking to 1200m, but switching to three-kilo claimer Simon Kok Wei Hoong instead. Grand Koonta’s main threat.
DRAGON DUKE (3) – Sprang a mini upset first-up from a break last time. Will strip fitter for this. Faces tougher task but is not without a place chance.
MR HOOPER (5) – This horse runs for apprentice jockey Syahir Abdul. Will find this tougher, though, but has the qualities to make a podium finish.
RACE 10KA CHANCE (5) – Opened account in style at fifth start. Up in class but does not meet an overly strong field. Worth another shot.
OL MATE BUZZER (8) – Former speed squib who is better suited by waiting tactics these days. Wide draw is a concern but if he can tuck in somewhere with a smother, he can be a factor at the business end.
SUPER WIN (9) – Found the going tougher in Class 4 company last time out.
Needs to go forward. Drop back to 1100m is going to suit better.
SO CALLED (12) – Reverts to his preferred Polytrack surface. Still a maiden but has come close a few times. No weight on his back. Can pinch a place.
