Singapore racing best bets, race analysis looking at the full Singapore card Sunday, 8th December 2019 with selections & information on all the contenders.

RACE 1

GOLDEN DASH (5) - Will appreciate the drop in grade and finds conditions to suit. Has a class edge on this field and will take beating with the right breaks.
SUPER WIN (12) - Has been struggling to win but will appreciate Matthew Kellady returning to the saddle. Will be on speed and is capable of giving a sight.
MAGNUM FORCE (3) - Hasn't been far from the mark. Isn't ideally drawn but is capable of contending with even luck. In the mix.
PIONEER SEVEN (4) - Experienced campaigner who is well and truly out of form but career credentials demand respect in a race of this nature. Don't ignore.

RACE 2

THE BROTHERHOOD (9) - Hit the line well on debut and finds a winnable race here. Nice middle gate with options early and has strong claims.
WIN WIN (10) - Hidden trials and blinkers on for debut run. Trackwork has been pleasing, monitor betting.
WINNING SPIRIT (12) - Two-year-old that gets weight off his opposition here. Not tested late in only trial, another market watch.
JIUYI (1) - Mixing distances lately. Blinkers go back on, has the ability if he's sharp enough for the 1000m.

RACE 3

HOTSHOTS SLAM (12) - Lightly-raced customer who has the upside to improve. Has trialled well for his return to the races and will take beating with the lightweight.
WATCH OUT BOSS (6) - Got into the winner's circle last start for the first time on the back of a freshen-up. This is tougher but must be respected with a repeat dose.
SUPER POSH (1) - Has been struggling to win but will appreciate stepping back in grade. Needs the right breaks but is worth thought with even luck.
SIERRA CONQUEROR (2) - Has been knocking on the door. Well drawn to take up a forward position and is capable of giving a sight. In the mix.

RACE 4

HEALTHY STAR (6) - Performed well on debut when only beaten by a narrow margin. Will take benefit from that experience and will take beating with a repeat dose.
PALETAS (7) - On debut. Has trialled well leading into this affair so keep safe. Monitor market/parade.
BRUTUS (1) - On debut in Singapore. Has had one run in Australia and wasn't disgraced. Must be kept safe.
BOOM ALMIGHTY (3) - Has struggled to threaten but is worth including for the minor end at longer odds. Not the worst.

RACE 5

RESOLUTION (4) - Looks an improver here on debut in Class 5. Query running a strong 1200m but looks one horse in the race with some upside.
LEO (3) - Likely leader that was just nailed on the post last start. Will take running down.
THE ICEMAN (2) - Gets a nice run here off the soft gate. Been costly to follow but has claims in this.
SUPER EMPEROR (10) - Racing well. Gets the claim for Krisna Thangamani here and must be included.

RACE 6

LONELY BOY (7) - Nice effort in his Singapore debut and can lead here or race somewhere on the pace. Can give a sight.
REVOLUTION (1) - Class runner forced to carry weight but on his best form, they will know he's there.
SALAMENCE (4) - Back from the mile but the stable do it well (bringing horses back in distance). Include.
MR HOOPER (11) - Ran well in a solid Class 3 last time and is proven on the Polytrack. Must include.

RACE 7

ANGEL HALO (1) - Tough effort last start. Gets barrier 1 and Michael Rodd here. Can lead them for a long way. Top pick.
CARNELIAN (2) - Backmarker suited up to 1700m and look out for her to be running on strongly late. Danger.
MILITARY CHAIRMAN (3) - Blinkers on here and stays at the mile fresh. Trackwork has been solid, top hope with even luck from a bad gate.
SHANGANI (5) - In career best form. Things get harder now off a higher rating. Place preferred.

RACE 8

CIRCUIT MISSION (5) - Proven on the Polytrack and ran well in the EW Barker Trophy first-up. Carried more weight than he should have in that race and was wide the trip.
PREDITOR (1) - Class runner. Rarely races on the Polytrack but with the blinkers on here, he must be respected.
YABADABADOO (4) - Ran out of his skin in the Singapore Gold Cup to finish fourth. In career best form and is hard to knock.
CLAUDIA'S BEAUTY (12) - Roughie that could improve here. Okay last time at weight for age and drops in weight to 51.5kgs from barrier No 2. Likes the Polytrack.

RACE 9

BOLD THRUSTER (3) - One of Singapore's leading sprinters returns after a disappointing run last start. Lit up the track in a recent trial and will take beating on best credentials.
BIRAZ (10) - May not be ideally suited stepping back in grade but the set-up must be respected from this stable. Hard to ignore on recent efforts, so expect him to be a major player.
SACRED REBEL (4) - Smart Polytrack sprinter returning. Well drawn to perform and must be respected on best efforts. Serious contender.
YOU ROKK (7) - Caused a massive boilover last start when winning at huge odds. This assignment is tougher but don't ignore.

RACE 10

BILLY BRITAIN (7) - Has been struggling to win but returns to the Polytrack surface and is off a very suitable rating. Trackwork has been good, so monitor market.
MIGHTY EMPEROR (3) - Hard to knock on his last two efforts. Well drawn to get the run of the race in behind the leaders and can fight out the finish yet again.
SO HI CLASS (6) - Interesting galloper who showed sharp improvement last start. Will appreciate the step-up in trip and is capable of contesting the business end.
LORD OF CLOUD (4) - Has been struggling to win but is never far from the mark. Capable of figuring on best efforts, so don't ignore.

RACE 11

GRAND CHOICE (3) - Big win last time. Sustained high speed throughout and they couldn't get him. Goes up in weight but could repeat the dose here.
ADMIRAL WINSTON (12) - Drew the wrong spot on resuming and was always uncomfortable. Should improve, respect here.
EFFORTLESS (2) - Gets back in the field and runs on. If they overdo it upfront look out for him late.
YULONG GREEN (8) - Resuming. Trials have been good and Vlad Duric is booked. Respect off this rating.
