Singapore racing continues this Sunday (14 May) for an 11-race fixture, one week out from the Group 1 Kranji Mile.
In-form four-year-old PRIORITIZE looks stand out and he is on track to land his third career win in the $50,000 Class 4 Handicap over 1700m on the Polytrack.
PRIORITIZE has struck a purple patch of form with two wins and three placings from last five starts and there is plenty of merit to his fast finishing second last time out. Copping a nasty check shortly after the start, the son of Proisir was forced to settle towards the rear before making a bold move from the 700m, which saw him travel three-wide in an attempt to circuit the field.
Despite the mid-race exertion, the Stephen Gray-trained gelding still charged home strongly and found only one too good on the line over 1600m at this track.
Boasting a perfect record of two from two over this track and distance, PRIORITIZE is well placed at the weights to make amends for his last-start defeat this week and he has to be rated a top winning chance.
Keep an eye out for BIG TIGER in the final race. Several key factors could significantly improve his chances this week. Firstly, he will be switching to the Polytrack (18-5-6-3) after an eye-catching run on turf (10-0-1-0) last start. Despite starting slowly and settling at the back of the pack, he finished strong with the third quickest final section of the race, earning fourth place.
In addition, he returns to Class 4 where he has a formidable record, boasting three wins and five placings in eight attempts. Furthermore, he won a trial convincingly in between races, indicating that he is in good form leading up to the event.
