International Racing: Kranji (Turf / Poly) – Friday 6 March 2020

Just the eight races carded this Friday 6th March 2020, with the highlight on the program coming in the seventh race. 

MILLENIUM’S RULE finds the tag of value bet on the card, when he lines up in an open first race. MY EVEREST gave a promising account of himself on debut and he should be very tough to beat in the 2nd race, a clear best bet on the program.

Best Bet: MY EVEREST (Race 2)
Value Bet: MILLENIUM’S RULE (Race 1)

MILLENIUMS RULE looks relatively well handicapped in the opener, a Class 5 event over the mile. He showed a useful turn of foot over the same course and distance last time out and a repeat of that effort in this event should induce a win this time around. LITTLE MASTER could be his biggest danger. The son of Burgundy has been in decent form of late and deserves a fair amount of respect.

MY EVEREST was eye-catching on debut and he will have plenty of scope for improvement. The son of All Too Hard lands a plum draw in the 2nd race and with Maia retaining the ride, he should be very tough to beat second time around.

LIM’S FORCE proved capable in this grade last time out and her stable have been in good form recently. She goes up a point and looks set to round out the 1-2 for the fairer sex in the third. CELAVI is a smart racy filly who has face some useful company in her career. A recent trial win was very pleasing and on the back of that, she can prove hard to peg back in a race full of speed. She should prove to be a strong opponent to the top selection.


TRY MAK MAK should be the right one to follow in the fourth. The only three-year-old in the field and he backed up his only win so far with a good second last time out. Champion jockey Vlad Duric now replaces claiming riders and given he is still lightly-raced, there is obvious scope for further improvement. WINNER NUMBER ONE has won over the course and distance when he last saw the track and he picked up a six-point penalty for his efforts. If overcoming the draw, he could be a leading contender at the business end.

The fifth race on the card takes us through the halfway mark and its TIME TO ROCK who gets the nod for first. The six-year-old mare went well for Ruan Maia last time out and she finds conditions that should suit her, despite the two-point penalty she received for that latest effort. LIM’S MIGHTY has had a long break and six trials in that time. He came good over this trip last June and has gone up five points for that win. Trainer Daniel Meagher can get one ready first time out and he deserves some respect.

IRVING LIPSCHITZ gave a solid account of himself when returning last time. He will strip fitter this time around and will most definitely appreciate the rise in trip. Form another plum draw, he should be tough to beat. GOD’S GIFT finds another tricky draw, his third in a row, but he seems to be in great shape and if utilizing his fast finish once again, he should be right there at the business end.

MUAAHIB has been an ultra-competitive sort so far and he has a nice galloping weight to shoulder in this tricky Class 2 event. He is very capable at this level and with a bit of luck in running from barrier 7, he will go right into contention in the penultimate race on the card. LIM’S DREAM has always been a nice horse and he continues to hold form well. He has had a good break and returned with a solid trial win in slick time. The stable of Daniel Meagher are in good form and this four-year-old should be worth following.

Back on the Poly for the final race and YULONG GREEN is picked to win it. The four-year-old son of Holy Roman Emperor cherry ripe to pick up a victory at Kranji and this could be the race on the back of a good trial win recently. He’s the one to beat. RESOLUTION should be the biggest danger to the top selection. He went very close last time out and with another handy galloping mass, deserves inclusion.
