Track Two will be in operation for Races 1-4 while Races 5-11 will be contested on Course A6.
HANDSOME JOYFUL is a fast beginner and is a chance to finally deliver a win in Malaysia and quickly atone for his last start defeat by a head over 1150m. ROAD OF TIGER also has barrier speed and can bounce back after casting a plate on February 16. TAKHI trialed well behind Ipoh winner Angel Baby recently and despite the draw, is well weighted on the 52kg.
Race 1 Selections: 1 – 2 – 9 – 4
OUTFIT was never in danger when scoring this track and trip a fortnight ago and can repeat the dose. BIONICS is coming off successive Ipoh wins and the Trips D Stable / Wayne Lim combination are churning out good results this year. EMPHATIC indicated he is nearing a Class 5 win finishing 0.5L behind BIONICS at Ipoh. MR BIG BROTHER resumes for the new stable.
Race 2 Selections: 4 – 1 – 3 – 5
OUR SECRET WEAPON is racing consistently and was a fraction unlucky when tightened last start but is a reliable beginner with best form over the sprint trips. OLIVER KHAN can mix his form but is a two-time winner at the track and distance, including a dead heat win in January. SHOW ALL SIXTY-ONE enters Sunday’s contest with good Singapore form lines and his impressive trial win here suggests he will attract market support. DRAGON CAVALLO was a beaten favourite last time but dropping back to the “B” division at this level should enhance his chances with the stable starting to fire up again.
Race 3 Selections: 7 – 9 – 1 – 2
V’INVINCIBLE resumes with a fair trial under his belt but his first up record is good which keeps him under notice. PACIFIC ANGEL continues to race well with a neck defeat at her past two starts and the on pacer can strike back anytime. PRINCE LONHRO received no pressure when leading throughout to score in Class 5 by just under six lengths and was placed at Class 4 in December. THUNDER STAR has won twice from four local runs and is well weighted.
Race 4 Selections: 5 – 6 – 7 – 12
SACRED SKY has been more reliable at the start when delivering successive wins and that winning streak can continue. LIM’S BESTBREAKER turned in his best local performance so far with a fast-finishing 2nd behind over the mile. SUPER BOWL is coming off a string of minor placings and will strip fitter following his 2nd behind SACRED SKY three weeks back.
WEALTHYNESS can be vulnerable if early pressure is applied and needs to lead. His early pace is a great asset and both local wins have been comfortable.
Race 5 Selections: 2 – 1 – 8 – 4
Progressive 3yo, DUMA has been defeated a neck his past two runs and can easily strike back third-up this campaign. CHEVAL PEGASUS is coming off a Restricted Maiden win but has a quick turn of foot and is capable of winning immediately in this grade. KSATRIA has sprinted home well when placed his last two starts and is on the eight-day backup. NIMBUS STAR trialed well and is a chance at its local debut.
Race 6 Selections: 4 – 11 – 6 – 7
SACRED COMMAND is a former Class 2 galloper and can follow up on his 1600m victory on his Malaysian debut. PACIFIC WARRIOR is due to break through and was a heavily backed favorite when finishing runner up here last Saturday. SO WE FIGHT is the likely leader and will give then something to chase over the mile. DON’T FORGET BOSS is only a moderate beginner but his final sectionals have been quick at all three local starts.
Race 7 Selections: 2 – 1 – 3 – 5
GULF EAGLE was a first up winner for his last preparation and the trend can continue judging by his trial run on Tuesday. ONG MARI will be suited by the distance drop after winning twice over 1400m in January. PACIFIC ATLANTIC over raced and was beaten a head after leading and should be given another chance. DAYLIGHT was suited by a fast tempo when scoring last start but is yet to win over this journey.
Race 8 Selections: 6 – 4 – 10 – 5
INFINITY VICTORY placed seven times in Australia and his recent 2nd in a 1400m Open Novice on local debut suggests he will be one of the market leaders. SPICY BABE received every chance on her Malaysian debut and her barrier speed places her in good stead. FRIEND OF HONOUR is coming off a Class 4 run and is expected to improve while LUCKY WARRIOR has attracted market support in the past and was runner up in a maiden two starts back.
Race 9 Selections: 2 – 10 – 4 – 9
SMART LIKE JASON is suited by the distance rise and will be fitter second up. SCHNEIDER is capable of going back-to-back despite the wide gate. RED SUN will break the maiden tag soon and finished on nicely in a trial on Tuesday. LIM’S FUJI is rarely far off the mark and is one for the trifectas.
Race 10 Selections: 6 – 8 – 10 – 4
In a low-grade contest SHIHAB had no luck caught wide last start and can quickly atone. SABAH WIN has been coming from wide barriers recently and looks a chance from pole position. BIG DAY has descended in the ratings and is worth watching first up while BEHIND PLAYER ran on well last start and is worth considering despite the wide gate.
Race 11 Selections: 2 – 3 – 8 – 1
