Racing returns to Singapore on New Years Day and Mr Clint looks well placed when he lines up in the Class 4 Stakes over 1200m at Kranji.
The three-year-old gelding returns off good form in his debut campaign, winning on debut before going on to place in his next two outings before a spell.
Mr Clint Last seen when running a close second to Secret Win in a class 4 over the mile and he has been handy in both trials since that run, the most recent when beaten under a length last week.
The Lee Freedman-trained runner certainly has plenty of improvement to come on what he has produced and he rates very well against his rivals today.
Daniel Moor takes the ride and from the inside draw will expect him to settle off the speed like he did last campaign.
Slight concern he may find some trouble if he gets too far back but he is certainly the class runner of the race and looks very hard to beat today.
Magic Wand mixed his form in debut campaign, winning well on debut over 1200m before a modest effort when well held in a Class 4 prior to a spell.
Has been good in two recent barrier trials, winning his most recent last week and also expect him to have come on since last seen.
The Ricardo Le Grange-trained runner is likely to settle back in the field from the wide draw and if he gets enough speed on will be making good ground late.
Colorado Prince will step out for his Singapore debut off some mixed form in New Zealand last campaign.
Has trialled three times in preparation for this, winning one of them earlier last month and if he runs up to his best form he is more than capable of mixing it with these.
Has not raced over shorter than 1300m previously but has shown early speed previously and could roll forward to put himself in the firing line from the wide draw.
Always hard to tell how these types of imports will go when on debut in Singapore but on his form in New Zealand is certainly worth keeping safe.
Other chances include Taichi Belt who was not very far away last preparation and is more than capable of a strong showing fresh.
Drawn the widest barrier which is a concern but does have early speed and is one of the most likely to set the early tempo.
Ladrone also stays under notice off a handy resuming effort when fifth in a Class 4 over 1100m a month ago and the step up to 1200m will suit.
