1200m – Turf
1 | Blitzing | Former Hong Kong galloper who has raced four times in Singapore but is yet to hit the frame. Chances will improve down in class this week and look for big improvement. |
2 | Gentlemen Agreement | Had excuses last start when slow to begin and ran on just fairly into 8th. Was racing consistently prior and has to be considered again with the booking of Vladimir Duric. |
3 | Universal Empire | Interesting runner who drops back from a Group race and has also changed stables since. Barrier trialled well for his return, but the market could be key here given the 377-day layoff. |
4 | Unconquered | Led and gave a good sight last start but faded in the straight to be beaten over 6L. Has a good record in Class 4 and could surprise if he brings his best form. |
5 | Pattaya | Racing in career-best form after stringing together two wins on end before racing wide throughout last time yet still checking home second. Stands out as a top chance here. |
6 | My Boss | Jumped favourite two starts ago but copped a check at the 1000m. Was unwanted in the market last start and ran a fair 7th. Can win on best form. |
7 | Tax Free | A fast beginner who is racing consistently and comes out of a strong form race with the winner saluting again last weekend. |

Hotshots Slam
|
Well-supported and won last start in Class 5, which was his first start for trainer Ricardo Le Grange. Won well enough to suggest he can go on with it. |
9 |
Sun Rectitude

Withdrawn |
10 |
Broadway Success
|
Yet to show up in the Class and racing first-up, his chances look slim. |
11 | Champagne Finale | Better form is in Class 5 and racing first-up here, the betting market should be telling. |
12 | Lim’s Pride | Races first-up and 1200m looks short of his best trip, with all his wins occurring over 1400m or further. |
13 | El Chapo | Has tried Class 4 company six times for nothing and big improvement is needed here. |
14 | Well Deserved | Another who has showed little in this grade after 17 tries but he could sneak a place given his recent consistent form. |
15 | Proof Perfect | Had betting support last start but had vet issues when pulling up. Remains unplaced from five local starts but has been steadily improving. |

16 | Wild Bee | Surprised at big odds for a win two starts ago but failed to repeat the dose last time out, battling away into 7th. Mixes his form and is hard to catch. |
