Singapore racing best bets, race analysis looking at the full Singapore card Sunday 21st April 2019 with selections & information on all the contenders.

RACE 1

WITHOUT PREJUDICE (3) – Resuming here from a spell. Bled at latest run on December 2 last year when fourth behind Cool Cat. Hasn’t had a trial but can lead here over the 1000m and will give a good sight.

BRING ME JOY (11) – Looks a danger. Top effort last start where he settled three wide with cover then moved into the race on the turn. Hit the front only to be grabbed late by the winner Hee’s Forte. Great chance on repeat effort.

ALARANCH (4) – Had to absorb too much pressure last start and weakened the last 200m. With a softer lead here, she will give a good kick. Always parades poorly, but monitor in case she improves her manners.

LEGEND ROCKS (1) – Back to 1000m after running over the mile last start. Seems the wrong race for him but if he can stay in touch, will be super strong late and could be the best horse in the race.

RACE 2

LIM’S PASSION (3) – Ran off the track last start and was sent back to the trials. Blinkers off here, freshened up back to 1200m. If he has the dash to roll forward he will be strong and hard to beat. Has placed on the Polytrack.

IRON GIANT (7) – First starter for Clements off just one trial. Looks to have ability and from a soft draw can run a bold race on debut. Monitor any market moves.

GAMELY (2) – Struggling to break through but is racing well. Expecting more of the same from him.

INVICTUS WARRIOR (1) – Reacted well in his second trial when the blinkers went on. Can only keep improving and expect a nice run from the Shane Baertschiger first starter.

RACE 3

PER INPOWER (6) – Has had a trial since running second to Sacred Croix last start over 1400m. Sacred Croix is a very promising horse and is a Singapore Derby prospect. Form around him looks good. Proven on Polytrack and will run a strong mile if he gets the right run. Top chance.

SUPER DYNASTY (1) – Will appreciate the drop back in grade to Class 4. Likes to roll forward in his races, unfortunately has drawn poorly but he gets some luck, can be a danger.

OUR SHOWCASE (12) – Will carry a very lightweight here. Zyrul Nor Azman can claim down to 50kgs which brings this horse right into the race. Can be on speed and will give a sight despite being a maiden.

YAYA PAPAYA (3) – Goes well on the Polytrack and is hard to knock off recent form. Has a chance.

RACE 4

MAJESTIC (2) – Yet to break through but has been knocking on the door in recent outings. Well drawn to get an economical run and will appreciate the services of Michael Rodd. Expect bold showing.

SPOKESMAN (8) – Hard to ignore on recent efforts. Recent runs indicate a win is near and appears well suited stepping up in trip. Capable of contesting the business end.

SHANGANI (9) – Has been mixing form but finds conditions to suit in this affair. Worth thought on best credentials. So don’t dismiss.

FLYING YELLOW (1) – Hasn’t been far from the mark in two career outings. Open to improvement and can improve sharply stepping up in trip. In the mix.

RACE 5

SUPERNOVA (1) – Performed well last start without having a lot of luck. Well drawn to get an economical run, so expect bold showing. Will take beating.

SACRED SEA (2) – Worth overlooking most recent runs. Returns to the Polytrack surface over a suitable journey, so is capable of contesting the business end. Major player.

NOT USUAL PRINCE (3) – Lightly-raced and is open to improvement. Isn’t ideally drawn but is capable of contending with the right breaks. The rise in journey must be respected.

STORM RYKER (9) – Showed improvement last start when stepping up in trip. Finds conditions to suit yet again so must be considered with even luck.

RACE 6

SPUR ME ON (10) – Versatile customer who looks well suited rising in journey. Poorly drawn but will take beating with even luck from the alley. Commands respect.

PEER GYNT (4) – Rarely wins but is never far from the mark. Well drawn to perform in Class 5 grade, so don’t dismiss. Can surprise.

VENUS DE MILO (8) – Impressive last-start winner. Finds conditions to suit to repeat the dose and will appreciate the claim of Riduan Abu Bakar yet again. Major player.

REDOUBT (1) – Has been struggling to win but is capable of bouncing back with the drop in grade. Worth thought on best efforts.

RACE 7

CIRCUIT MISSION (3) – Progressive customer who bounced back to winning form last start whilst not being the complete package. The removal of blinkers will give him every chance to be strong over this journey. Respect.

YULONG EDITION (6) – All-the-way winner last start over this track/distance when having the race run to suit. This assignment is tougher but must be considered with a repeat dose.

GOLAZO (5) – Has been contesting tough races in recent outings. Career credentials demand respect, so don’t ignore. Can surprise at value.

WONDERFUL PAINT (2) – Isn’t ideally suited by the step back in trip. Will need a genuine speed to finish over the top of this field but has the upside to continue to improve. Major player.

RACE 8

NOWYOUSEE (1) – Proven Polytrack performer with a great record. He’s very genuine and tries his all. Last start was caught wide in a strong Class 1 and was far from disgraced. Hard to beat.

AUTUMN RUSH (2) – Loves the Polytrack and rarely runs a poor race. From a good barrier he looks a strong chance here as well. Simon Kok will claim three off his back which will certainly help.

NOVA VOCAL (9) – Has been unlucky in his past two starts, probably should have won both of those races. With just 52kgs (Benny Woodworth’s minimum riding weight) he can be very effective here. Keep safe.

MARINE TREASURE (5) – Has been trialling well leading into his first-up run.

RACE 9

MY DREAMLINER (1) - Suited here back to 1000m on the Polytrack. Led most of the way last start over 1200m but was just grabbed late. He’ll be even fitter and more seasoned for that run. Will be very hard to catch here. Looks one of the better bets of the night.

GLENGALLON (6) – First-up here. Not raced since winning a Restricted Maiden in July last year. Trials have been fine and looks a horse with decent ability.

SNIP (7) – Will be good odds here and can run a cheeky race from a nice barrier. Include.

FULIFE KING (2) – Has been freshened up and under the new ratings system looks well graded here in Class 4. Definitely among the chances
