SIN G1 – 1800m – Turf

1

Super Salute

Winning streak came to an end last start when beaten by two lengths in the second Leg of the 4yo Challenge, where he seemed to be beaten fair and square. Unknown at the trip but has the class to offset that.

2

Golden Monkey

Scored a big win in the second Leg when quieter tactics were adopted, kicking clear by two lengths over Super Salute. He remains the one to beat here.

3

Invincible Tycoon

Placed third in both the first and second Legs of the Challenge and he only needs to see out the trip to run another bold race.

4

Cavalry

Brings plenty of excitement to the race after winning impressively on his first Kranji start over 1400m two weeks ago. A winner up to 2200m overseas, there are no queries with him over the Derby distance.

5

Dream Alliance

Looks primed for a big run in the Derby after a slashing fourth-place finish in the second Leg of the Challenge. He is the each-way chance at odds.

6

Saint Tropez

Will relish rising to 1800m, based on his impressive win over the distance three starts ago. Caught the eye with a fast-finishing fifth in the second Leg of the Challenge and is peaking at the right time.

7

City Gold Wonder

Failed to show up in the second Leg of the Challenge and others are preferred here. 

8

Elite Legend

Has shown ability in three local starts so far, but this race looks an uphill task for him and place chances seem best.

9

Sousui

Poorly weighted under set weight conditions on a rating of 59. Not good enough here.

10

Istataba

One of the two mares in the race who gets a 3.3lb weight relief. She should appreciate the distance.

11

Ahorsewithnoname

Not good enough for a race like this and very hard to recommend.
