Winning Form share all of their best bets and tips for Saturday's racing coming your way from Kranji on 7 September 2024.
RACE 1 – Time: 06:30 Class 5 Handicap -1200m
Selections: 1/5/6
LUCKY GOAL although he draws wide it’s probably not the worst position for him as he can take his time to roll across for Lerner and position up. He is bringing some strong form into this field and comes from a top stable. COMMANDER JONES he made everybody’s jaw drop with that run on the Polytrack over a sharp trip which he hasn’t usually performed well at. He has ability but has failed to produce a win this prep.
RACE 2 – Time: 07:00 Class 5 Handicap – 1400m
Selections: 6/1/2
BRAVO KID he comes here as the fresh horse on the scene for the Jerome Tan stable who takes over the training for this preparation. Looked well in a recent trial and must be respected here. FEARLESS WARRIOR draws well here for Nunes who has had a long affiliation with this gelding and if he is anywhere near where he was winning two starts back then he can be right in the finish against these horses.
RACE 3 – Time: 07:30 Class 4 Handicap – 1600m
Selections: 1/2/3
SUPER BABY good run behind King Of Sixty-one last start in class 3, was wide on the home corner and was a long way of the two leaders. He should benefit from that run and come down to class 4. Should be well-supported in betting. GREAT WARRIOR he’s been racing well, last few runs in class 4 have been promising and relishes 1600m. Nunes is booked to ride and should get a good run from barrier five. Could be right in this.
RACE 4 – Time: 08:00 Class 5 Handicap – 1400m
Selections: 1/6/4
KING’S GAMBIT back to class five for the first time since October last year where he won over 1200m by half a length. Since that win he won twice at class four level and will appreciate the drop back in grade. The inform Pinheiro takes the ride.
RACE 5 – Time: 08:30 Maiden – 1400m
Selections: 2/5/1
SUPREME LINER will look to go off as a short-priced favorite for the Nunes & Peters combination after a strong second placing at Novice level. Don’t let the wide draw throw you off he looks set to win that much-awaited first win here. BIG MAX he has had his chance being supported on many occasions and draws well in barrier four for Queiroz who should position up nicely from there.
RACE 6– Time: 09:00 Class 4 Handicap – 1200m
Selections: 3/1/8
SACRED BUDDY he will be the one to beat here. He has been a great horse for connections in class 4 and is proven on both the turf and Poly track. He draws out wide but could push across to sit up on speed. DANCING SUPREMO fair last start over 1400m and now gets back to a more suitable trip here. He should get a soft run from barrier four.
RACE 7 – Time: 09:30 Class 5 Handicap -1800m
Selections: 4/5/3
PACIFIC BEAUTY continues to hold her form having won three starts back and placed in her following two outings. CC Wong riding well and can put her in a nice position from barrier two. Expect support in the market. NAVY SEALS he is on the quick six-day turnaround but failed to make an impression on the Polytrack last week. Give him another chance as all of his career-best runs have come on the turf.
RACE 8 – Time: 10:00 Class 4 Handicap – 1200m
Selections: 2/7/1
WINS ONE a noted front-runner with plenty of ability, he took natural improvement out of his first-up run and finished in behind October most recently. He is very dangerous over 1200m on the turf. Should go close. CHARMINTON his last two performances have been great, flashing home. He will look to get back and run on. Nunes takes the ride form barrier five and should get every chance. Watch betting.
RACE 9 – Time: 10:30 Queen Elizabeth II Cup Group 1 – 1800m
Selections: 1/3/2
LIM’S KOSCIUSZKO a surprise upset in the Group 1 Raffles Cup last start finishing second to stablemate Lim’s Saltoro. He was very game in defeat and was flashing home only beaten a nose. Now stepping up to 1800m, he should improve off that last run and will have more time to wind into the race. He will be the horse to beat. LIM’S SALTORO the new kid on the block here in Singapore and has now won at weight-for-age. He conquered the four-year-old series and is proven over 1800m after winning the Group 1 Singapore Derby. He is still going to be a huge threat to stablemate Lim’s Kosciuszko and needs to be respected. Draws out but he is a natural go-forward type. GOLDEN MONKEY he’s been racing in such great form this preparation, thanks to consistent racing throughout. He should get every chance this weekend from barrier four and gets the services of Brisbane-based jockey Kyle Wilson-Taylor who will make his Singapore riding debut. Should appreciate a genuine tempo over 1800m.
Race 10 – Time: 11:05 Class 4 Handicap – 1400m
Selections: 3/7/11
SHOW ALL SIXTY-ONE solid form lines in behind October who’s made it three straight victories most recently. He sat up on speed and continued to stick on for a minor placing last start, watch betting. SWEET N SOUR his first run in class 4 was great in behind Arya Pakuan. He is still lightly raced here in Singapore and the stable is in great form. CC Wong was aboard in a recent trial and takes the ride on race day.
