The ever consistent Hello Michelle appears well placed to return to the winner's stall when due to contest the third event at Singapore this evening.

Trained by Mark Walker, Hello Michelle failed to fill the placings last start, however her performance held plenty of merit after being caught wide throughout.

Working to the line well, Hello Michelle finished fourth behind Could Be Pearls and is sure to appreciate the return to the polytrack this evening.

A winner of three of her 11 starts, Hello Michelle has also placed on a further three occasions and has placed in six of eight attempts on the polytrack.

When assessing Timeform weight adjusted ratings, Hello Michelle rates highly on her best form and should be right at her peak racing fourth up.

Drawn ideally on the inside, Hello Michelle maybe able to settle closer to the speed, as she is generally a backmarker.

Rizuan Shafiq links aboard for the first time and with even luck in running, Hello Michelle should prove hard to beat.

The Michael Clements trained Mcgregor returned in decent order last start and remains open to good improvement racing second up.

A winner of three of his 19 starts, he has won on the polytrack previously and while giving weight away, he is capable on best form.

The engagement of Manoel Nunes appears the biggest push and while drawn a touch awkwardly, he should be able to slot in midfield.

The form through Moritz Eclipse makes for good reading and Mcgregor is expected to make his presence felt.

The Laurie Laxon trained Waipakihi wasn't far off the mark first up and is another who can improve sharply racing second up.

In 12 attempts over this trip he has placed in seven and did place at his only previous attempt on the polytrack.

While possessing just the two wins from 12 starts, Waipakihi is certainly more than capable and has also drawn to receive all the favours.

The likely leader, if John Powell can pinch a few cheap sectionals early, Waipakihi is sure to be hard to run down in the straight.

Of the rest the Shane Baertschiger trained Hero I Am appears the next in line following an improved performance last start.

Although clearly no match for Draco, expect that form to measure right up and he has to be respected with Kellady sticking aboard.

Good luck and happy punting.
