Singapore racing best bets, race analysis looking at the full Singapore card Sunday, 17th November 2019 with selections & information on all the contenders.

RACE 1

FLAUNT (2) - Grade dropper with the pace to look for the lead. 1000m suits and will look the winner at some stage.
PIONEER SEVEN (4) - Another horse back in grade. Did enough last time and despite being a 10-year-old, he can win again now that he is in Class 5.
SUPER EMPEROR (7) - Drawn gate 1 and has the speed to utilise the draw. Sure torun well.
I AM INVISIBLE (10) - Back in distance to 1000m here and the booking of MichaelRodd is interesting. Monitor betting.

RACE 2

EL MACHO (5) - Three-year-old son of Blackfriars stepping out for the first time. The stable has been very patient with him and he looks ready to go on debut. Commands respect.
SHEPHERD'S HYMN (10) - On debut. Will be a better horse in time and most likely over further but is a beautiful mover, so keep safe. Major player.
FOUNTAIN OF FAME (7) - Showed good improvement last start and has since won a recent trial. Goes onto the turf surface for the first time, which should prove no problem.
POROSHIRI (12) - On debut. Did a lot wrong in his only trial but has indicated good ability. Monitor market/parade.

RACE 3

DAZZLE GOLD (1) - Worth forgiving last start. Didn't have the race run to suit but still ran well. Capable of bouncing back here, so expect a bold showing.
GOLAZO (4) - Bounced back to winning form last start with a great ride. Has risen sharply in weight, so this is hard but must be considered with a repeat dose.
SMILING PROUD (7) - Has been struggling to win, but finds conditions to suit over this journey and will appreciate the lightweight. Keep safe.
MIGHTY EMPEROR (3) - Bounced back to form last start over this track/distance. Must be included in the mix.

RACE 4

CLERGYMAN (5) - Impressive debut making up plenty of ground. The 1400m should suit here. Drawn a better barrier and can settle closer in the small field. Will take beating.
VALENCIA (7) - Very one-paced up the straight when given every possible chance last time. Should strip fitter and did only go down narrowly last time. Must be included.
WHISTLE GRAND (1) - Grinding type getting blinkers back on here. Found 1200m too sharp last time and is looking for this distance. Respecting.
GLENAFTON (8) - Better run last time and can hold form now.

RACE 5

CARNELIAN (1) - This mare has dropped down in the ratings points significantly and although her recent runs are nothing outstanding, this is a much easier race. Improvement expected.
ELITE BEAST (2) - Another horse back to Class 5 here. Has a few issues (roarer) but from gate No 1, he gets the right run and will take beating.
BIG REGARDS (6) - Vlad Duric goes on here and he should be on the speed early. Will give a bold sight.
LUCKY TIGER (3) - Got a perfect run in front last time and was able to convert that into a win. This is harder, but worth respecting.

RACE 6

ALARANCH (4) - Hard to knock on recent efforts. Will take up a forward position and will certainly give a sight. Commands respect.
THOTH WARRIOR (7) - Hasn't been far from the mark in recent outings. Well suited in this affair and is well drawn to perform. Major player.
MISS MICHELLE (2) - Managed to get into the winner's circle last start off the back of a fantastic training performance. Capable of figuring with a repeat dose, so don't ignore.
GANGNAM CLASSIC (6) - Has been a model of consistency in recent assignments. Finds conditions to suit yet again, so must be included.

RACE 7

FLYING TOURBILLON (8) - Won in dominant fashion on debut. This assignment is tougher but it is a natural pathway to progress. Has the ability to win again.
FIRE DRAGON (5) - Well beaten on debut but that effort was in a much stronger race. Will take benefit from that experience and must be considered in this affair.
BRIGHT ALMIGHTY (3) - Performed fairly well on debut in Singapore considering the way he paraded. Will strip fitter for this assignment and is capable of contesting the finish.
BARBEQUE (1) - Has been struggling to perform, but will appreciate the drop back in grade. Worth thought on best efforts, so keep safe.

RACE 8

TUSCAN ARTIST (4) - Has been struggling to win, but is well suited by the step-up in journey with the addition of blinkers. Knockout chance at odds.
MINGS MAN (2) - Looks ready to win in this grade and gets the services of Vlad Duric over his favourite journey. Major player with the right breaks.
SPUR ME ON (5) - Bounced back to form last start and will only further benefit stepping up in trip. Must be considered on best efforts.
INVISIBLE (1) - Yet to break through but recent efforts have been encouraging. Open to further improvement, so keep safe.

RACE 9

AUTUMN ASSAULT (4) - Big win when returning from a spell last start for the new stable. Looks set to fulfill his early promise this preparation and can develop into one of Singapore's best Polytrack sprinters.
RIVER RADIANCE (2) - Is flying this horse. Big win last time when strong through the line and well backed. Keep safe.
TOOSBIES (8) - Freshened up after disappointing run last time. Can improve.
DUTROW (1) - Likes the booking of a senior rider here. John Powell can get the best out of this horse.

RACE 10

SURGE (6) - Former Godolphin galloper having his Singapore debut here. Trials are very nice and with a bit of luck from barrier No 12, he will go close to winning.
KIMITONARA (11) - Hard to knock. Has done nothing wrong in his first two starts and beat Supermax last time. The latter has since won by five lengths. Solid formlines.
SACRED ACCORD (2) - Improver here second-up. Given no chance last time when ridden back in small field. Can race closer, did lead when racing in New Zealand.
RULE THE WORLD (1) - Chased Inferno first-up in a strong Class 4 when beaten 3.6 lengths. Should come on for that run, consider.
