Trainer Patrick Shaw’s yard came out all guns blazing on New Year’s Day when he combined with stalwart owner Fred Crabbia to snare the first three races of the New Year Cup meeting on Tuesday.

Davide is the name most likely to be on the scoring sheet for the feature tonight at Kranji for owner Fred Crabbia (Rocket Man man) and the Pat Shaw stable.

​Following his impressive debut win, Emerald Hill is bound to have his fair share of admirers when he lines up in Friday night's $65,000 Graduation race (1000m) over Polytrack, but trainer John O'Hara for one will be sweating more over whether he does not get up to his pre-race antics again.

Trainer Cliff Brown and jockey Danny Beasley combined for an early double on the Singapore's biggest raceday.

The two favoured runners in the $55,000 Class 4 Stakes over 1400m staged a two-horse war throughout the race and it then continued into the Stewards room.
