Winning Form share all of their best bets and tips for Saturday’s racing coming your way from Kranji on 18 March 2023.
VALUE BET – THE WILD PRINCE (Race 1)
TOP BET – TRIBUTO (Race 5)
RACE 1 – Time: 06:00 | Class 5 Handicap | 1200m
Selections: 6/1/3
THE WILD PRINCE a horse who has been knocking on the door to win since returning to class 5. Hasn’t had much luck in his last couple starts and shouldn’t be too far away from them here. BENBO Impressive winner on debut who finds himself at the top of class 5 here instead of class 4. Good chance to capitalise and win again. Won well enough last start. Nunes on a bonus.
RACE 2 – Time: 06:30 | Restricted Maiden | 1200m
Selections: 5/2/1
SPEEDY BUCK has trialled only once but won in a slick time and looks like a nice horse for the future. Can win this. GRAND SUPREME another Australian acquisition for trainer Jason Lim. He has been able to find multiple winners so far this year and these new horses stepping out always deserve respect.
RACE 3 – Time: 07:00 | Class 4 Handicap | 1400m
Selections: 1/5/7
VGOR rises to 1400m after finding one better at his last two starts. He has been beaten by lightweights on both occasions and will still carry a bit of weight after Krisnas claim. TRIDENT nice form and course statistics for a race like this. Will be fitter after a couple of runs and the rise in distance is to his benefit. Don’t leave him out of your exotic bets.
RACE 4 – Time: 07:30 | Class 5 Handicap | 1100m
Selections: 1/3/2
BIZAR WINS competes once again at his favourite distance of 1100m. Hoping to see him run well again despite the big weight. THE JUN first run for 2023 coming off a string of trials. Trials have been good enough to be a top three hope in this, one for the exotics.
RACE 5 – Time: 08:00 | Open Maiden | 1200m
Selections: 2/4/9
TRIBUTO massive run last start where he was wide the trip due to a poor draw and only just got beat. Looks the one to beat here. OUR FINAL OFFER made up good ground last start and will appreciate the rise in distance to 1200m and he must be respected here.
RACE 6 – Time: 08:30 | Class 4 Handicap | 1700m
Selections: 1/2/5
REAL EFECTO fought back hard to hit the line for a short head second when well supported in the betting at his most recent run. Races very well around this distance and will be there in the finish. MESMERIZING freshened up for this after winning well back in February over the mile. Has since trailed nicely in good time and freshness looks to be this gallopers preference.
RACE 7 – Time: 09:00 | Class 5 Handicap | 1200m
Selections: 1/5/4
CAPTAIN SINGAPORE has struggled to win despite flashing late all the time. Frustrating horse to follow but amongst division two company, he looks to have a top 3 chance. SUPER TALENT was the best of the beaten brigade in behind a very dominant Big Day. Must be respected here.
RACE 8 – Time: 09:30 | Novice | 1400m
Selections: 4/2/8
BLUEJAY very impressive win on debut over this distance a few weeks ago. Gets in very well at the weights and will carry 51kgs. If he repeats that performance, he can make it two from two. SHANGHAI STAR horror watch last start where he settled back and when he went to make the run the doors closed and never got a crack at them. Has ability but plagued by bad luck in his races.
RACE 9 – Time: 10:00 | Class 5 Handicap | 1100m
Selections: 1/2/5
OUR SECRET WEAPON winner of his last two starts and has run is good time for the grade. Recent winning form here sticks right out and should be in contention once again. FLAK JACKET getting on now, but the old boy is an exciting horse at this grade. If he jumps and finds himself close to the speed, he should be running very well here, respect.
Race 10 – Time: 10:30 | Class 5 Handicap | 1600m
Selections: 2/1/3
FREE FALLIN’ eye-catching last start over a shorter trip where he hasn’t usually performed in before. Gets up in distance and has nice previous form around these distances. SKY EIGHT easy latest win and everyone was surprised to see him lead the way he did. However, the change of tactics worked and if we see a repeat performance he must be considered.
Race 11 – Time: 11:00 | Class 3 Handicap | 1200m
Selections: 1/4/6
GENERAL COMMAND looking to make it three in row after winning in nice fashion on the Polytrack. Switches to the turf this weekend but shouldn’t be an issue due to his overseas form. SILENT IS GOLD honest run last start but couldn’t measure up to the winner Super Salute after having a trouble-free run. He will win more races as he goes on and looks a genuine top three player.
Race 12 – Time: 11:30 | Class 4 Handicap | 1200m
Selections: 1/5/3
LAST SAMURAI from the CT Kuah stable rates a big chance on current form. The 5-year-old chestnut gelding loves this distance and must be included in all bets. PER INCROWN easy win on a lightweight of 51kgs in this grade. Rises in the weights but when he races over this distance and on this surface, he must be in play. Watch any betting moves.
