Kranji tips – Saturday 13 July 2024

RACE 1 – Time: 06:30 | Class 5 Handicap | 1100m

Selections: 8/7/2

GREAT COMMAND had excuses in the straight on last start and still came out on top defeating Golden Way. He is well suited under these race conditions and could back that last performance up this week with Pinheiro sticking aboard. PACIFIC SCOUT should be in the betting this weekend. Will relish the Poly track surface and obtain a soft run from barrier three. Moor sticks aboard.

RACE 2 – Time: 07:00 | Open Maiden | 1000m

Selections: 5/4/3

THUNDERSTORM has been contesting against quality horses in lower grade such as Boardroom and Big Union in recent past. Should be respected in this field with Nunes riding again. GOOD CHILLI has had a few placings in his 26-start career here in Singapore and will return this weekend off the back of an impressive trial win. The stable is in good form and Pinheiro takes the ride.

RACE 3 – Time: 07:30 | Class 5 Handicap | 1200m

Selections: 1/6/5

CHEERFUL BABY is racing so well, looking to make it four straight victories in class 5 and will be the hardest horse to beat. Last start he won impressively thanks to a great ride for Bernardo Pinheiro who retains the ride. THE WILD FIRE was formerly raced as Song Of Nature before winning last start with plenty in hand. Draws well this weekend in barrier two and is well-weighted.

RACE 4 – Time: 08:00 | Class 5 Handicap | 1100m

Selections: 2/4/6

THE SHADOW enjoyed a good win two starts back over 1200m on the all-weather Polytrack. Daniel Moor now gets back aboard, should push forward from an outside gate and find a handy spot. BIG MAX had his chance on multiple occasions, doesn’t find the best luck and continues to fall short. Espindola takes the ride. He should get a great run from a low draw. Could be in the mix.

RACE 5 – Time: 08:30 | Class 4 Handicap | 1700m

Selections: 2/4/1

SUPER BABY will have Pinheiro aboard after a solid run behind Great Warrior last start. That was on a yielding surface and should appreciate this surface. SUPER BOWL has to overcome a wide draw but Nunes is the right pilot to do so. Looks well placed here from the leading stable and has since trialled up winning in nice time.

RACE 6– Time: 09:00 | Class 5 Handicap | 1100m

Selections: 8/2/9

RIVER DRAGON is still a maiden here in Singapore and has been getting close on multiple attempts. Should get every chance this weekend with Saifuddin in the saddle. Strong form lines in recent past. Okay in recent trial. MAZE was good last start behind Lonhro Gold. He’s been knocking on the door for a little while now and should see support with Curatolo now riding.

RACE 7 – Time: 09:30 | Class 4 Handicap | 1200m

Selections: 2/1/3

RAVALLI is a talented type who won with plenty of authority last start with Curatolo retaining the ride. Won a trial recently between starts and looks one of the best plays for the day. PACIFIC HERO can be met with support at times so watch for any pushes in betting late. Does his best racing on the Polytrack but if he gets a tempo to suit him he could be a roughie for the exotics.

RACE 8 – Time: 10:00 | Class 5 Handicap | 1700m

Selections: 2/1/4

FORTUNE STAR is looking to make it three in a row for the Kuah stable. He is a genuine Polytrack middle-distance galloper and should press forward from a wide barrier. A BETTER TOMORROW headlines the ratings in this field and Lerner takes the ride. The stable is in great form and hasn’t missed a top four finish in three attempts over this course and distance.

RACE 9 – Time: 10:30 | Class 3 Handicap | 1000m

Selections: 4/6/3

EJAZ is a talented four-year-old who gets a good draw in barrier two to make his presence felt early in the run. Nunes knows him well and looks the one they have to beat. BRANSOM will need to be speedy from his wide draw and he certainly possesses great early toe to do that. Class three is the question but has plenty of ability to feature in this.

Race 10 – Time: 11:00 | Class 4 Handicap | 1100m

Selections: 1/3/7

LAST SUPPER sees Moor and Peters combine here on this rising four-year-old who won with good authority last start. Rises up in weight and should be right there. SURREY HILLS has bounced back to form in his last couple of starts finishing amongst the minor placings. Draws perfectly in barrier five to get a nice run up on the pace.
