Singapore racing best bets, race analysis looking at the full Singapore card Saturday, 07th November 2020 with selections & information on all the contenders.

RACE 1

1st Pick: TIGAROUS (4) Trainer Michael Clements has his eyes firmly set on a first trainer's premiership and this handicap debutante is a very interesting runner in this grade. Should go very close.
2nd Pick: AWESOME CONQUEROR (7) A runner in decent form and can go close.
3rd Pick: TWELFTH NIGHT (12) Fourth in the Tigarous race last time and is another interesting runner in a race of this nature.
4th Pick: GOLD FAITH (8) On best form, this Steven Burridge-trained seven-year-old isn't without some sort of chance. Each-way. chance.

RACE 2

1st Pick: OUR SECRET WEAPON (5) This return to the Polytrack surface looks a decent move. He has worked well this week prior to this contest. Has been well supported in two starts so far and can certainly give his running in this.
2nd Pick: SAHABAT (9) An expensive newcomer from the year's leading stable. The winner of a couple of trials in preparation for this debut, he is drawn wide and is apprentice-ridden for the first start but is without doubt a leading player in an open race.
3rd Pick: RIVER BRILLIANCE (7) A very pleasing debut on the turf when third. Can build on that here now back to the minimum trip on the Polytrack. One to include.
4th Pick: REAL EFECTO (6) Left a good impression after a nice first start when fourth (sustained a cut shoulder). He has the services of the excellent Ruan Maia and should make an impact.

RACE 3

1st Pick: AMORE AMORE (6) More effective when up with the speed. From marble one, he can be ridden more positive this time. Not without claims.
2nd Pick: FROM THE NAVY (8) Up in class. This is tougher but with his light weight he can still pinch a place.
3rd Pick: TRY MAK MAK (7) Unproven on turf. If he can reproduce his last-start winning form on Polytrack, he can take a hand in this.
4th Pick: PROOF PERFECT (2) Has not made much of an impression in four starts, though specked at times, but was not beaten out of his ground either. Outside chance.

RACE 4

1st Pick: HOTSHOTS SLAM (2) Joins a new stable and has trialled well. The pick here in a weak race on the best of his form.
2nd Pick: LOVING BABE (3) A four-year-old in good form for Class 5 grade and does now have a claiming rider on board to offset the big weight. Can run well.
3rd Pick: AMAZING MAN (9) A good run in defeat on latest start and stepping up in trip is a big help.
4th Pick: DRONE (7) Has never been the easiest to pin down but on the pick of his form, he can go close in a race like this.

RACE 5

1st Pick: HAPPY FRIDAY (6) Has the best recent form and looks the logical way to go in this.
2nd Pick: SHOWBOUND (3) The mile may well have not been to his liking last time and dropping back to this 1200m should help matters and Ruan Maia is booked. Strong chance.
3rd Pick: LADY FAST (9) Has better form than most and is a must for the exotics.
4th Pick: SUPER PINS (2) Best of the rest for the minors.

RACE 6

1st Pick: BLUESTONE (4) Progressive sort. Impressive at his last come-from-behind win. On that form, he can prove hard to beat again.
2nd Pick: CHURCHILL (3) Ran on late at his last outing. Blinkers on. If pace is on, he can finish over the top of them.
3rd Pick: SUPER INVINCIBLE (7) Rises in class after his convincing win in Class 4 company. Also rises in distance. Place claims look better.
4th Pick: WATCH OUT BOSS (8) Bounced back to form with a more creditable third last time out. Should be thereabouts if in the mood.

RACE 7

1st Pick: SMILING PROUD (6) In a very poor race, the selection is Smiling Proud who is up in distance to a trip that will suit him nicely.
2nd Pick: MR ROCKWELL (5) Slightly better at 1400m, he is from a powerful stable and is in-form. Include.
3rd Pick: GUNMETAL GREY (1) Starts life in handicaps at a realistic level and is one of the more interesting ones here.
4th Pick: MILLENNIUM'S RULE (7) Has plenty of form in the book and can pick up some place money here.

RACE 8

1st Pick: SHEPHERD'S HYMN (4) Ignore last run when he was trapped deep throughout. Worth a lot better than that. Earmuffs off. Big threat if things go his way.
2nd Pick: SOLO SUN (1) Better over longer, but the mile will do. Stormed home late last start. Big danger if he gets the right breaks.
3rd Pick: IRONCHAMP (2) Likely leader. Will try to make all. Go close if he passes his first Polytrack test.
4th Pick: ASGARD MASSIF (3) Not quite like mother (Jolie's Shinju) like son. Making slow headway, though. Showed some toe like his dam at his last couple of starts. Blinkers on, tongue-tie off. Can sneak into the minors.

RACE 9

1st Pick: KANTHAKA (7) This Class 5/handicap first starter wouldn't have to be any great shakes to win this on the back of some fair performances in all three types of Maidens here at Kranji.
2nd Pick: JUST STARS (3)Respected from a stable going well and has run well in defeat recently.
3rd Pick: LIM'S FORCE (2) Could prove to be a big player now back in this company. Stable having a quiet run at the moment but this mare can go very close.
4th Pick: ASIA SPIRIT (4) One to include for the multiples on best form.

RACE 10

1st Pick: ARARAT LADY (4) Honest in this class. Should enjoy a cosier run from the low draw this time. Can turn the tables on last-start victor Hugo.
2nd Pick: LIM'S ZOOM (9) Peaking to his best. Will relish extra 100m. Big say inside the concluding stages.
3rd Pick: HUGO (2) Caught wide last time out but kept finding to score strong win last time out. Trainer has set him for EW Barker Trophy. Must be respected.
4th Pick: MAGIC WAND (5)Needed the run first-up from a nine-month spell. Will strip fitter for this. Include in calculations.

RACE 11

1st Pick: BUURAQ (1) Should be more competitive on grass. Class 4 form before Singapore Guineas seventh to Inferno was solid. Maps well for this race.
2nd Pick: STRONG N FAST (9) Scored nice win on debut. Meets stronger opposition and races on turf this time. Faces stiffer challenge but can still make presence felt.
3rd Pick: HADEER (4) Has not quite lived up to promise shown on debut. First turf test. Will appreciate the 1200m better. Place claims.
4th Pick: THUNDER (6) Didn't finish far behind at his last run. Drawn better this time. Will run on late.
