Winning Form brings us their best bets and tips from Kranji on 23 October 2021.
VALUE BET – ROMANTIC
TOP BET – RED DRAGON
RACE 1 – Time: 06:00 Class 5 Handicap -1400m
Selections: 2/13/4
THE SHADOW very open affair this race. He finished second to Brutus last start and that form looks solid. With the 3kg claim of Jerlyn Seow Poh Hui, he is drawn well and should be right there. FIREWORKS solid in his last two starts. Two starts back only beaten three lengths to Tiger Leap and found the 1000m too sharp last week. Danny Beasley retains the ride and stable is flying. TAKHI ultra-consistent galloper who finds it difficult to win. Caught the eye again last start and is knocking on the door to get a victory very soon.
RACE 2 – Time: 06:30 Restricted Maiden – 1400m
Selections: 3/4/7
RED DRAGON ran on well last week in Novice company over this course and distance, and a repeat of that run will see him go very close to winning this. DRAGON TYCOON has run a string of good races over slightly shorter trips and should be bang in there at the finish. DABBLE won a trial with blinkers on recently in very good style and respectable time. Looks the type to improve now for the addition of the headgear.
RACE 3 – Time: 07:00 Class 4 Handicap – 1200m
Selections: 5/3/4
ROMANTIC almost scored first-up from a long break. Will relish extra 200m. Special bit on. Can be hit-and-miss but if on song, he will be fighting out the finish. REIGNITE the penny seems to have dropped for the 4-year-old bay gelding. Carried out wide last start or he could have won when second to Wild Bee. Can bounce back. WILD BEE hard to hold off when on song, like in his last start. If he reproduces that form, not many here can outsprint him. Go close.
RACE 4 – Time: 07:30 Class 5 Handicap -1600m
Selections: 3/6/1
CIZEN LUCKY meets an open Class 5 field where he can bring his best form and be a leading player. Trialled nicely leading into this and from a stable that gets good market support. MINGS MAN this old boy doesn’t know his age. He is racing like a rock-hard fit four-year-old and he only has to run like his last couple of starts to feature again. PISCA PISCA she drops back in distance where she has been placed in the past. The rider and trainer combination have a great strike rate this year and could be an each-way hope.
RACE 5 – Time: 08:00 Class 5 Handicap – 1200m
Selections: 1/3/5
HUNTSMAN the return to Polytrack is a plus and has won over the course and distance when breaking the maiden, conditions suit and has every chance here with Marc Lerner booked. LIM’S UNIQUE down in grade here and is racing off a handy mark now. The blinkers are added, and he looks a leading chance on paper. PERFECT MISSION the booking of Oscar Chavez catches the eye. Was racing well when last seen in August. Each-way contender.
RACE 6 – Time: 08:30 Open Maiden -1200m
Selections: 2/4/5
BIG TIGER has gone close over the course and distance and was good behind the useful Everest last time out. One to beat here. SUPERIOR COAT racing well currently and should be involved at the finish. CITY HALL from the Ricardo Le Grange stable, better last time out in a Class 5 and represents an each-way chance.
RACE 7 – Time: 09:00 Class 5 Handicap -1600m
Selections: 11/7/9
ALLEGRO his last win came off a rating of 37 and he has solid stats over this course and distance. Should be supported in the market for the trainer and jockey combination. KSATRIA ran a solid second behind Sun Ace last start and can go on with it from here. Although still a maiden gets his chance in this field. TONY’S LOVE drawn to get a lovely run on the rail. Last start settled midfield and was very strong in the straight, and conditions suit to win again here.
RACE 8 – Time: 09:30 Class 4 Handicap -1200m
Selections: 5/4/1
FIRST BOWL keeping up good form by finishing on board since win four starts back. Working well on training tracks. Among the leading hopes. CLARTON TREASURE put a line through last run when he was trapped deep and raced without cover. Worth better and handier draw can help him make amends. SIAM ROYAL ORCHID polytrack performer who raced against much better opponents not too long ago. Recent form has been solid without winning.
RACE 9 – Time: 10:00 Class 5 Handicap – 1400m
Selections: 5/9/3
NATE’S HONOUR looking for three in a row. Something we wouldn’t have said a few months ago but they seem to have figured him out and he looks primed to do it. TURF BEAUTY her best form comes on the turf, and she hasn’t been too far from the winners at previous runs. Look for market support. SILENT FORCE last start was a sharp improvement running fourth. With the claim and good draw of barrier two can be positive in the run for Jerlyn Seow Poh Hui, and hails from our leading stable.
Race 10 – Time: 10:30 Class 4 Handicap-1800m
Selections: 1/10/3
KING’S COMMAND rising to 1800m for the first time. Gives every indication the trip will be up his alley. In brilliant form and can certainly double up. MESMERIZING bolted up on debut but didn’t beat much. Faces stiffer task but seems to have made further headway. Nice barrier. This run will be the real guide where he stands. RAMBO still chasing first local win but has been knocking on the door lately. Blinkers on. Include in calculations.
Race 11 – Time: 11:00 Class 4 Handicap -1400m
Selections: 5/1/10
ALL WE KNOW has exceeded expectations this year. Beat a smart Class 4 field in his last outing. Handy gate. He will be running on at the finish. SATURNO SPRING resuming from a three-month layoff. The 1400m is a nice distance to start off over. Ran against better horses than this. Can go well fresh. KING ZOUSTAR has been around the mark without winning of late. Yet to score or place over 1400m.
