1200m – Turf
1 |
King Arthur |
Highly-rated five-year-old who is in search of his first win in 2023 after a big 2022. He continues to look well in his trials and will be there when the whips are cracking. |
2 |
Sky Eye |
Ultra-consistent six-year-old who can perform on the Polytrack and turf and over a range of distances. Won a race of this nature easily last start and looks the one to beat again. |
3 |
Lucky Jinsha |
Singapore’s Champion Polytrack horse but who has disappointed in two runs in 2023. He can run well on turf as well and could be an each-way dividend. |
4 |
Kharisma |
Needs to find best form. Formerly one of Singapore’s best sprinters but has not won a race for 490 days now. |
5 |
Senor Don |
Bled two starts ago and failed to show up first-up 27 days ago. He trialled well enough since, however, and has raced well second-up in the past. |
6 |
Gold Star |
Old-timer who needs to improve on what he has shown in recent starts. 385 days since his last win and a win here would surprise. |
7 |
Ocean Crossing |
Likes to get back in the running, so he’ll hope for a true tempo, and he has what it takes to be in the mix. |
8 |
The August |
Raced wide and without cover last start and weakened. Prior, he checked home a promising second place. A six-time winner at the distance, he needs to be respected. |
9 |
Sacred Gift |
Has not had a lot of luck in many of his recent starts but he is usually more effective on the Polytrack. Place claims are preferred. |
10 |
So Hi Class |
The 1200m seems too short for him but the light weight helps and he has a strong finish under the right race shape. |
11 |
Tangible |
He has been slow to begin in recent starts, so that is the query, and so is the drop back in distance from 1600m. Others are preferred. |
