This Friday is not a night for positive punting. At least not yet. Picking a special was almost impossible and sticking to our (new) rules of staying away from Restricted/Maiden events it was down to GOLDEN LIDO in race 5 to keep our excellent run of "good things" going. But if he does get up, or even run in the top three - it's that tough a night, he would want to be right on top of his game as...

Need some help from the outer this week - Chootsim, BlueFlame?
- Larry Foley
Hi Larry, I agree that the card this Friday night really points to a rough nite ahead, I will stick out for Intercept for some good flutter, Simpson should have a soft lead from barrier 2 and with the App. claim, should figure well with other contenders, either draw wide or having a dump boy on top. Just return from Malaysia,Cheyenne Dancer looks well suited in the KA series, and any...

A few good judges are leaning towards intercept so might be a fair option. Cheyenne Dancer could be shorter than Barend Vosrter and I would want to be looking on at odds on so thats why Zizou. I will definitely include Kyoto in exotics because as you mention saimees mount will take most of the punters attention (although come fly with me is a very good option so keep very safe). All the best and watch out tomorrow for more updates.
- Larry Foley
The only horse I am confident to back is Gutsy Prince in race 8. Though not a fan of punting in claiming rider races I think he will be too good for that field. I will also be having a bit each way on Noble Manor in the last. If Cheyenne Dancer is not at his best I think Noble Manor might be able to pinch this race.
- Blue Flame
The Hatchet Man is looking ominous and while he is close to droppng grades it looks as if he is really having a dip. I tossed up between Gutsy Prince and him and to be honest Gutsy was probably the easier way to go. I'm happy to ignore Cheyyene first up (when he won in Singapore he was in training and treated as an international for quarantine) and went for Zizou on a very smart run two starts back. Hopefully he doesn't head butt any Italians.
- Larry Foley
I just looked up ominous in the dictionary - Ominous (Adj) - "A word describing a horse that wins a race every 15 starts and who has not won for 3 years. An 'ominous' horse is often suited in Class 5 company." I couldn't believe my eyes, it's like the definition was written for The Hatchet Man.
- Blue Flame
You own a dictionary? Look up schadenfreude and talk to me later.
- Larry Foley
Haha, You dont need to be an English Prof or Rocket scientist be a horse player, find the winners,Dear friends, not defination of words, by the way, Larry is right in using the word Ominous on Hatchet man. Cheers and good luck to you all.
- chootsim
All friends here though Chootsim and he will buy me a beer when Hatchet Man gets up (although I will have a long look at Gutsy Prince and forecast again may be the go). Remember to keep an eye on Punters Pal.
- Larry Foley
All said,I will recommend that you throw in Shimonas magic for a nice tiece, beers all round then, Larry.
- chootsim
Sounds like a plan - I like the fact blinkers off and will include him for sure! I'm warming to Boss Man in race two - might just try to pinch this.
- Larry Foley
This Stravinsky young speedster is right in my target sight, led early, and not disgraced in the 1400m last start.Not much pace in this race, and hope he leads them home, i will be loving his payout with the hype on the toppie and lowest number. Cheers
- chootsim
I only hope EE OO UU runs home late so the race call sounds like a bad porn film. But Boss Man a very solid each way option.
- Larry Foley
you have to listen to that call on race 2 :)

hi larry, what is the fundamentals inorder for a racing trust or sydication to be successful for kranji. you are the best person to comments, its doest seems to be workable in singapore, unlike aus , nz.
- longtze88
Hi Longtze and welcome to kranjiracing. true, there is a different mindset to ownership in Singapore compared to say Australia where it is common for people to race horses for "fun" and even non-racing people might belong to a syndicate with work mates or from a sporting club. However, there was a market in Singapore as the STC Trusts showed and many first time owners got a taste of...

You just have to love Emirates Singapore Derby day. Just walking through the gates of the magnificent Singapore Race Course at Kranji gives you a thrill. Today, the unofficial “ladies day” on the local racing calendar, it’s extra special as the fillies parade from before race one till closing - or even longer if they have backed a winner or two! But only one lady will get my attention this afternoon and it’s not the wife! Her name is... Larry and the Punters Pal have more for you at http://www.simonhicks.com/kranji2...

This is a useful site but not much traffic, should have more shouts, a good guide with Larry performing in most race days. Keep it up. See if i can help with some traffic. Cheers

Hi Chootsim - we work on the on the theory "build it they will come". The more the merrier though, especially when it comes to comments on our selections and your own suggestions etc.. Keep up the good work Chootsim.
- Larry Foley
After both our specials got the chocolates last weekend we are sticking with the obvious this Friday and one horse, WAIKATO (r7) stands out as the best horse in the race. He has won over the 1400m previously (at his only start) and looks OK at the weights against his two main dangers, ANY HUMOUR and LIMS FIGHTER. While he should be... Larry and the Punter's Pal have more for you at http://www.simonhicks.com/kranji2...

I reckon a good bet would be to all-up your last 2 selections, Shen Wei and Super Fighter. Both might be a bit short and both should win. My best bets of the day are Shen Wong in race 2 and Lycraa in race 4.
- Blue Flame
lycraaaaaaaa (as rex hunt would call it) looks a good of good things. Shen Wong hsould go very close but as someone pointed out to me he would have been better suited (with a rating of 39) in a class 5 race. he would then be giving crabs 7kg and not some promising youngsters. But the punters pal is confident.
- Larry Foley
This filly looks special. MEXICAN ROSE, a two start winner from New Zealand, makes her much anticpated Singapore debut on Sunday in race 4, and from all accounts she should win. Apart form her two wins, she ran a very credible sixth in the $1 million Karaka Million 2-y-o race which suggests she is quality and although being set specifically for the Juvenille Challenge at the end of this month, looks a very good thing. However, she will be short - very short - and with a fair amount of unpredicability in 2-y-o races, it may pay just to watch on and see if the hype is well founded and save your bet until the feature. In another case of odds-on-look-on, KALASH will...
- kranjiracing
Good call on Mexican Rose Larry, will be single digit winner, i like Viva Panata next, follow by Bionic Boy, this fellas should bring home the bacons, may be the fastest horse in training in the lower grade.. I will make Eternal Traveller and Race ahead to pay my petrol money and beer to celebrate a good day. Cheers
- chootsim
Viva Paneta will be sure to give an honest account of himself. I was tempted but teh drop in class for Promise Me Gold swayed me - again I will probably go for value. I'm very glad you like Bionic Boy - I have a feeling we will see a lot of this horse and would love to have a confident bet on him at hopefully over the odds. Cheers.
- Larry Foley
Larry I like your support for the underdog. First Super Racer who hadnt won for 5 years on Friday and now Zinly who hasn't won for nearly 3 years. Good on you Bro. I am also looking forward to watching the clash between Kalash and Bionic Boy, should be a beauty. My best bet of the day is in race 1, Bounce Back, should get the day off to a winning start.
- Blue Flame
True, Super Racer was perhaps drawing a rather long bow but Zinly looks a more realistic chance. I'm throwing in Bionc Boy as my late mail. I notice Punters pal has Brandy Dry as one to follow. I agree, especially if course is favouring front runners and he might be juicy odds.
- Larry Foley
I looked on at 6and 5 for the Rose but forecast payed well. wee done to Chootsim for Viva Paneta in the last. He was the value out of the first two picks so that was nice.
