Singapore racing best bets, race by race analysis looking at the full Singapore card on Tuesday the 20th of November with selections and information on all the main contenders.
RACE 1
GOLDEN ROOSTER (4) - Had no luck from a wide alley last start. Remains at the same track/distance and certainly finds a winnable assignment from a good draw with leading rider Vlad Duric taking over the reins. Major player.
GOLDEN SPARK (2) - An impressive last-start winner over the track/distance and remains in the same grade. Gets conditions to suit yet again and will certainly give a sight on pace. Worth considering.
MIGHTY PHOENIX (6) - Stormed home into the minors last start. Will likely drift back from the wide alley and if they happen to overdo it upfront, he is capable of finishing over the top. In the mix on best efforts.
GOLDEN COIN (5) - Yet to break through from 19 career outings but the six minor credentials to his name are worth respecting in a race like this. Needs luck from the awkward draw but is worth including.
RACE 2
THE JEWELLER (11) - An extremely pleasing debut when third last month behind the useful Siam Vipasiri. Has since trialled well behind stablemate and recent winner The Big Easy and should be able to build on that for an in-form stable.
FIGHT TO VICTORY (2) - Really racing into form of late and in what is not the strongest Restricted Maiden ever run, he would have to be a serious chance.
CATCH THE TIGER (3) - Certainly finished off his race well last time out and can improve on that effort. One to include.
RUNMINDERBINDERRUN (9) - An interesting runner judged on his debut performance (not knocked about) and Vlad Duric now jumps on board, keep him onside.
RACE 3
PIONEER SEVEN (5) - Experienced campaigner who hasn't been far from the mark in recent times. Finds a winnable assignment over a favourable track/distance and certainly commands respect on best credentials.
LONHRO GOLD (3) - Handy performer who has been racing well in recent times. Returns from a 53-day layoff but comes into this affair off a recent trial victory. Expect bold showing yet again.
PETITE VOIX (1) - Has struggled to figure in most recent tasks but will appreciate the step back in grade where she is a proven performer. Aided by the handy draw so is worth thought on best efforts.
EVERYBODY HAPPY (7) - Yet to break through in five career outings in Singapore. Was disappointing last start when starting favourite but has since had a 30-day freshen-up so is worth considering again.
RACE 4
SACRED TONIC (3) - Went close last time out over this trip and would look capable of going one better in this race.
DRAGON HIGH (5) - Now going up in distance having run home well last time on the Polytrack. He has caught the eye more than once and is a big watch here.
THEAGENESOFTHASOS (1) - Returns after a break and has had two trials since a good second behind Kranji Gold. Every chance in this with 4kgs off.
MAI DARKO (4) - Plenty of placings under his belt and once again ran well last time. Solid place chance here and must be included in exotics.
RACE 5
MR DUJARDIN (2) - Looks suited dropping back to Class 4 Non Premier grade and going up in distance to 2000m. Michael Rodd looks a key booking and from barrier 2 this horse should take plenty of beating. Top pick.
MAJESTIC EMPRESS (6) - Put in a nice effort nine days ago behind Lionrockspirit. This mare appreciated the 2000m there and this looks another suitable race.
KEEP SPINNING (1) - Has the 57kgs to carry but will appreciate easier grade. Has raced in Class 3 his past two starts and this looks more suitable. Improver.
LIM'S RYTHYM (7) - Did a good job winning a maiden 1800m last time. Looks a horse that will run 2000m and could run into the placings.
RACE 6
LIM'S CRUISER (2) - Multiple Group 1 winner returning from 178-day spell. Has been trained up for this with 3 trials and looks ready to go fresh. Could prove too classy.
ZAC KASA (4) - Comes back to 1200m after finishing runner-up behind Mister Yeoh in the Group 2 EW Barker Trophy. Led last time but there looks more speed her so he may settle just behind the speed. Fit and racing well, main threat.
ARAMCO (3) - Is in outstanding form having won his past two. Was strong to the line winning the Garden City Trophy and with the claim for Zyrul Nor Azman he can't be discounted.
SPECIAL KING (6) - Looks the best of the light-weighted horses. Will need luck though from a tricky barrier.
RACE 7
GLASGOW (1) - Is having his second run up here in Singapore. Went really well on debut behind King Of War finishing off into third. Should only improve with that run and looks hard to beat.
TRAPIO (11) - Looks the main danger. Lightly-raced three-year-old getting the blinkers on for the first time. Can threaten if able to find a position from wide barrier.
TURF PRINCESS (6) - Should be racing well here. Was competitive behind the smart Siam Vipasiri last time and looks more suited at 1400m in this race.
LOVING YOU (2) - Has drawn poorly but was game last time when second to Black Quail in a 1400 Class 4 Non Premier. With any luck, can run well.
