SIN G1 – 1600m – Turf

1 Pennywise Argentinean-bred galloper who is a five-time winner in Singapore but all those wins occurring on the Polytrack. Clearly not as effective on turf but is capable of being placed.
2 Top Knight Singapore’s best middle distance three-year-old who won the Group 2 Singapore Classic (1400m) with a fast finishing burst beating most of his rivals here. Appears suited by the extra 200m and looks extremely hard to beat.
3 Lim’s Lightning Former top juvenile galloper who has not won since October 2018 at Class 3 level. Has ability but also looks tested at 1600m.
4 Siam Blue Vanda Produced a good performance last start when he charged home from 10th at the 400m to finish 4th to Top Knight. Will be highly suited by the rise to 1600m and looks the obvious danger.
5 Elite Incredible Former Argentinean galloper who showed big improvement last start when finishing 3rd to Top Knight and there is no reason why he cannot be in the money again.
6 Makkem Lad Produced a career-best performance when finishing 2nd to Top Knight. He appears a query at the 1600m but should not be underestimated as a dangerous front runner.
7 Vittoria Perfetta Easy winner over 1600m two starts ago before looking disappointing at his most recent start. Clearly will run the trip but may lack the class to win this race.
8 Gold Star A two-time winner who turned in a credible 5th to Top Knight last start and can sneak a place with a soft run in transit.
9 Super Smart Elevated himself into calculations for this race with a fast finishing win over 1400m last start where he beat the older horses. Can surprise at value.
10 Mo Almighty Has been disappointing this preparation and is struggling to find his best form. Hard to recommend at this level.
11 No Fun No Gain Has not endured much luck at his last two starts and his recent 8th and 10th may be deceptive. With better luck in running, he appears the dark horse in the race.
12 Siam Royal Orchid Easy winner two starts ago over 1200m before failing over 1400m last start. Place chances appear best.
13 Hardcore Scored a win over 1600m two starts ago in a much lower rated race and despite finishing 2nd last start, he appears to face a tough task.
14 Street Party Placed over 1800m at his last two starts, so the distance and fitness will not be an issue for this three-year-old. Must be considered as a long shot chance to be placed.
15 Legend Rocks Maiden winner two starts ago who failed last start over 1400m. Hard to recommend.
16 Siam Vipasiri Talented filly who is a query at the 1600m having only won races over 1200m. Was slowly away last start but had few excuses after that when finishing 8th to Top Knight.
  Reserve  
17 St Alwyn Placed 2nd at both career starts but despite showing ability, he faces a massive task to measure up to this level at just his third start as a maiden.
