Sacred Command

Posted two wins in succession over 1400m and 1600m before leading too fast and fading to fifth last start. He drops back to 1200m here, which is the query, but his early speed could see him run a good race.

Special Ops

First-up off a year and a half on the sidelines, so the betting market has to be the best guide.

3

Stenmark

Erratic galloper who is hopeless out of the gates which proves costly. With a clean jump, he has the ability to be in the finish.

4

Entertainer

Yet to win from 10 starts on turf in Singapore but has placed three times. Has early speed and one to keep in mind at an each-way price.

5

January

Talented three-year-old who races first-up off a 56-day break. Given an easy time in a recent barrier trial but looked well. Best distance is 1400m, but if they run along, he will be closing off strongly late.

6

Paletas

Scored an impressive win on his preferred Polytrack 1200m track and distance last start. Back up in grade and switching to turf are the queries.

7

King Zoustar

Seven-year-old who is racing in a rich vein of form but rises to Class 3 for the first time in his 58-start career. Have to respect given the stable’s red-hot form of late. 

8

Pacific Hero

Handy three-year-old who should relish returning to the turf track. Had excuses last start when the saddle slipped but still placed runner-up.

9

Sabah Ace

Three-time winning three-year-old from four starts who tries turf for the first time. Boasts untapped potential and looks a serious winning chance.

10

Lim’s Craft

Unsuited first-up over 1200m on the Polytrack and also raced wide that day. Chances improve big-time switching to his pet track and distance this week.
