French jockey Olivier Placais is making hay while the sun shines after he narrowed the gap on the two leading jockeys Vlad Duric and Michael Rodd, both out through suspension, with a riding double on Friday night.

The Shane Baertschiger trained Thunderstruck did enough in his Singapore debut to suggest he can break through in the sixth event at Kranji this evening.

Lonhro Gold looks well placed when he lines up in the Class 4 Non Premier over 1000m on the Polytrack at Kranji tonight.

Olivier Placais was glad he was able to punch “complicated customer” Dash home in the $45,000 Non Premier race over 1000m on Friday night.

Chin Chee Seng was feeling down in the dumps after losing on favourite Oliver last Friday, especially as it was his only ride for the night and he had yet to win a race since getting another chance as an apprentice jockey with trainer Daniel Meagher.
