Kranji Tips – Saturday 8 April 2023

VALUE BET – SUPER POSH (Race 3)
TOP BET – MALIBU BEACH (Race 1)

RACE 1 – Time: 06:00 | Class 5 Handicap | 1400m

Selections: 1/2/4

MALIBU BEACH was runner-up in his last three starts over this course and distance. The son of Malibu Moon is well-drawn again and should go one better today. WECANDO won once this prep at Kranji eight runs back and ran four lengths off the winner in his last start. He cannot be ruled out.

RACE 2 – Time: 06:30 | Maiden | 1200m

Selections: 3/4/5

STAR GLORY from the J Peters yard has strong claims on his penultimate run when finishing second over this course and distance. TYPHOON returns from a long break. The lightly raced three-year-old gelding still has plenty of scope. Interesting to note top jockey Manoel Nunes jumps aboard.

RACE 3 – Time: 07:00 | Class 4 Handicap | 1000m

Selections: 12/6/13

SUPER POSH from the Donna Logan stable enjoyed a good win in his latest over this course and distance. The seven-year-old bay gelding is better drawn today and with a light mass he can follow up here. BIONICS enjoyed good from before his last run. The son of Hinchinbrook enjoys this distance and must be respected here.

RACE 4 – Time: 07:30 | Class 5 Handicap | 1400m

Selections: 2/3/6

BIG DAY from the J Tan stable enjoyed an impressive win over this course and distance last time. The six-year-old gelding can follow up here. CIRCUIT STAR surprised punters to win at long odds last start at Singapore and three from four wins have been in the dry, the real danger in the race.

RACE 5 – Time: 08:00 | Class 3 Handicap | 1800m

Selections: 2/5/6

SATURNO SPRING ran on strong to win on his last start at Singapore and can’t knock the form winning two in a row at the track, looks hard to beat here. HERO is coming off a win at Singapore and goes well at the track, not without each-way claims.

RACE 6 – Time: 08:30 | Class 5 Handicap | 1200m

Selections: 3/5/8

CIZEN LUCKY from the J Tan stable showed good improvement in his latest over this course and distance. The seven-year-old gelding is well-drawn in pole position and should go one better today. LOVING BABE is much better than recent form suggests. The six-year-old is well-drawn and enjoys this course and distance.

RACE 7 – Time: 09:00 | Novice | 1100m

Selections: 4/2/5

SPEEDY BUCK had a good debut win over the minimum distance. The three-year-old bay gelding could be anything. Interesting to note top jockey Manoel Nunes jumps aboard. PRESTIGE STAR was runner-up in his last two starts. The four-year-old is well-drawn today and must have a say here.

RACE 8 – Time: 09:30 | Class 5 Handicap | 1200m

Selections: 8/6/5

BEN WADE from the T Fitzsimmons stable is in good form. The gelding is capable of another strong showing here. RETALLICA impressive latest win over this course and distance. The seven-year-old is well drawn in pole position and can follow up here.

RACE 9 Time: 10:00 | Class 5 Handicap | 1600m

Selections: 2/1/4

TWELFTH NIGHT from the Hideyuki Takaoka stable rates a big chance on current form. The six-year-old gelding is well-drawn today and loves this distance. SHIHAB from the Michael Clements yard placed in his only attempt over this course and distance. He must be respected here.

Race 10 – Time: 10:30 | Class 4 Handicap | 2000m

Selections: 2/1/4

REAL EFECTO was runner-up in his last two starts. The gelding gets the services of top jockey Vlad Duric and can go one better today. PACIFIC BAO BEI is seldom far off. The four-year-old loves this distance and must have a say here.

Race 11 – Time: 11:00 | Group 3 | 1200m

Selections: 6/5/2

BESTSELLER from the Ricardo Le Grange stable has enjoyed two wins from four attempts this campaign and goes well at Singapore. Interesting to note top jockey Manoel Nunes jumps aboard. JANUARY from the Donna Logan stable rates a big chance on current form. The three-year-old placed in his only attempt over this distance.

Race 12 – Time: 11:30 | Class 4 Handicap | 1200m

Selections: 5/1/3

PACIFIC EMPEROR returns from a long break but placed and won in both his career starts to date over this distance. If the three-year-old bay gelding is fit and well, he should be a genuine contender here. KING ZOUSTAR from the J Ong stable was a winner at his first outing this prep and finished a nose back from the leader last start at Singapore, looks threatening.
