Horse racing tips and analysis by Larry Foley and the Punters pal at www.kranjiracing.com
While every tempting to stick with budding superstar, BETTER THAN EVER, as the kranjiracing special, his mouth watering clash with ALWAYS CERTAIN makes his job tougher than ever and he will have to be very good continue his unbeaten six and five run...Read more: http://www.simonhicks.com/kranji2...

that's a very scary picture you used there simon, anyone i know? i see not many other pundits (gotta hate that word) have left Fight To Live out of slections in teh last so hopefully we do get the each way odds needed for a horse like this in the last.
- Larry Foley
Hey Mr Foley. I thought Anavila trialled quite well behind Fantastic Owners the other day. On that run I thought he might be an each way chance, but I just wonder if the connections want to wait for an easier class 4 race in the near future. I would be interested in yours and the other subscribers thoughts.
- Blue Flame
The trainer (hill) looks to have a record of getting horses up at the lower end of the class (as opposed to those that drop and strike) so ne reason why he won't be trying but it's a very tough Class 3 race. Punters way have Chiosim as their special and I like el Sheik - both quality and I would have to say Anavila hard pressed to beat them.
- Larry Foley
I want to be confident of Northern Lion but lot of support for Sky Happiness around the traps. Comments appreciated.
- Larry Foley
FRIDAY AM update - two early outs see EA's MY NINJA (r1) and SPEAKNOEVEL (r3) get a start. Both have excellent winning chances. In race 4, whil BOMBADIER is expected to win keep FAIRY KING DANE very safe as he looks suited in this after an eye catching effort late on the Poly at his last start...Read more: http://www.simonhicks.com/kranji2...

Speaknoevil gets a start and with Saimee on board must be a huuuuuuge winning hope
- Blue Flame
I think so, Blue Flame. Good form, blinkersa on for first time and Saimee on board suggest he wins. I alos like the fact Sir Rumble, perhaps race fav, has drawn very badly and must be looking at easier options than this race (i.e class 5). Pacific Gift, the newcomer, is worth keeping safe at debut although the track watcher suggests he may need the run.
- Larry Foley
Thanks for that extra re-assurance Mr Foley. I also like Monterey in the last. In a recent trial he sped out the barriers to lead before being restained and was never pushed out. I think he will get a good sit or lead from barrier 1 and will be hard to beat if fit enough. Do you give him a chance Mr Foley.??
- Blue Flame
Mr Foley and Mr Flame, are you both going to the Davilak this evening?
- Simon Hicks
Big chance Monetrey and I see Frosty (trackwatcher) has picked him so should go well. Lorena was a big effort first up and if she improves on that she will be hard to beat. Mission Supremo has blinkers addded and trainer gray usually has a good record there. Tough races late. And yes, I will at the Davilak.
- Larry Foley
While it would be nice to expect some value with Friday nights special, the Don Baertschiger-trained JUST A MAN (r5) looks the nights best and unfortunately will be short. But at least when you know he is a good thing, it's a race you can avoid if not favourite backer or play some clever multiples with the likes of...Read more: http://www.simonhicks.com/kranji2...

- larry
While it will be tempting for most tipsters to pick BETTER THAN EVER (r1) as their special this Friday, kranjiracing suggests looking at his stablemate, WAIPAPA in race seven as the good thing on the card. His recent form is very strong and with Saimee in the saddle he should race off the pace and be too strong late for...Read more: http://www.simonhicks.com/kranji2...

To those who use the #horse history function, we've now added the ability to view horse form specifically on the Polytrack. More features coming.
Also, if there are any features you would like to see incorporated, please let us know.

The new poly track form only is a blessing. saved me trying to scroll though to see if they can handle this surface. A horse like south star comes right int calculations on Poly form only.

- longtze88
You may have to explain speedrating Mr Longtze so I have a better understanding (speedrating for dummies?) but from what i saw last week and at his previous run el grey will go close at each way odds in, as you say, a race with a fair bit of guess work. Dollars and Cents a worry.
- bob
hi bob, i use speerate as a guide only, just the time return less track varient,3 points = 1 length, race 1 no1, 6, 8 , 9 mr vantastic, a maiden race like this is more difficult to predict then a class 5 race.1st blood is the only natural front runner, 1 grande estilo will improve from last run,(last run likely an educational run though) a race like this horses havin 10 starts n above without a win, is a setback.this race to me its a U.B. (unbetable race)
- longtze88
Hi Longtze, i agree it is a VSBOR (very small bet only race). Look out for the improvers like Mr Vantastic. I would appreciate your view on Mexican Rose - I rate her only a slim winning hope but I could be horribly wrong.
- larry
race 6 mexican rose best speed is 109yielding- she needs to improve, 2-d world, 4 mooring will be close, no confidence who can win ,i shall sitout this race.but with 5okg, she is still handicap advantage in here.
- longtze88
Hi Longtze - larry here (bobs computer) I think Mooring beats Mexican at the weights and Dragon World could beat them all. I might sit out as well as Dr Lemon some hope after being the one to beat and the sitting duck at his last couple. Off to a pre-race function now so best to everyone and lets hope earl grey starts us off on a flyer.

- kranjiracing
bumble bee ,my personal opinion is reverting to turftrack after 3 wins in a row on poly n up in class 3 might be to much a asking from him , he had shown me his ability of a class 4 horse , lets see whether he can improve to wins today? and wishing mr choo's wishes comes true.another hornet.
- longtze88
Good points but I rate the Kranji Stakes C win at his last start as Class 3. He beat some good horses (in fact he blitzed them) so I think h goes a lot further than this grade. I would have been more worried if he was stepping from the old fibresand to turf but Poly to turf not an isssue for me. Strong bet. When High Key finally wins just sit back and buy a beer with the money you have saved previously!
- bob
Longtze - great call on Bumble Bee. Haven't had a good look at the video but that was a big disappointment. Looked like the day suited on pace runners (but not exclusively) so no excuse there. Cheers - larry.
- bob
thanks for your compliment mr larry,the worst parts of reading the race is when you have your own horse in the race.bias, emotion, trainer's feedback all creeps in, thats one part that i wish i can overcome one fine day.have a nice holiday n cheers
- longtze88
never get a tip from an owner they always tell me. as you know it was very hard for me with the trust horses but form usually holds up. but thanks again for your input on bumblebee. it looked a tough day - waikato and a saver on race ahead got me home OK.
- bob
hey bob, you are most welcome, i enjoys the discussion over here, btw any idea when is the next afternoon racing for polytrack or is there going to be a poly day racing any sooner?

I follow Frosty on the workouts (easier) but race 1 both OK but they have been previously when disappointing so I can't be confident. Golden Jet going well - almost picked him to win and is the more solid bet of my picks but Special Account just seems to be the time. My Son v good. Triiger OK and no commnet re my yeenyeen.

i like to take a chance on r1 no3 high key,for some value,nefertti might be a big outsider though,renixus should be a shooin.i dont like lioncitytycoon n mamas love.
- longtze88
I am just going to wait and see with Jolies this weekend. I have a feeling the 3 home grown horses that are shortest in the early markets will be too good on Saturday. But in saying that I am not totally discounting Jolies chances for the Cox Plate just yet. *** To Longtze88, I give High Key a good chance tonight too, has had 2 starts since a spell and should be fit and ready to run a good race. A good each way bet.
- Punters Pal
He has been too short in betting previously and not delivered that's why I wil be steering clear of High Key. Each way odds needed for sure. Keep Future Sprinkles safe - good trial (with blinkers) and never given a chnace last start - I have in in my forecast.
- Larry Foley
I notice future sprinkles is 10kg down as well which could mean he is very fit or did it tough at his last trial. I will go the former and suggest he goes very close.
- Larry Foley
at w21, they are arguing that mamas love was treated lightly last win, i m certain the chief handicapper was right n deserve his pay, tonight answer is given .confirm with her running 4th
- longtze88
i agree longtze. they (the handicappers) usually get it right. I still think she should have beaten magician though! Well done to Jolie's Shinju and connections. Big effort to finsih third in that company!
- bob
she must be some hope in the cox plate on that run.

Hi Longtze - (larry here but on bobs computer) - no problem with high key - have a look at the price he has been at his last seven starts and only placed twice. Expensive to follow horses like that but usually they come good after you jump off! I usually speak to Frosty but to be honest horses usually work in a similar fashion (i.e there are good workers and bad workers). Very rare for...

singapore horse race meeting preview for sunday september 13, 2009 - www.singapore-horse-racing.net
It was almost impossible to pick a special on Sunday with most races throwing up a handful of chances -the exception being race 2 where we struggled to find one winner! So it might be a case of each way all the way and follow solid form and some instincts on a day where one good result could be the difference between winning and losing. The Novice event (race 5) does look an interesting affair though with three even prospects...Read more: http://www.simonhicks.com/kranji2...

You could have little go each way on the same horse on Sunday for fun. For some reason horses don't back up as often as they do in Australia (and elsewhere?) at Kranji but no reason why he can't give another good account of himself. fun bet only as he is not in my top three.

singapore race meeting review for friday september 4, 2009
LOCUS STANDI made a good night even better by getting up in fine fashion (and at a good price to boot!) in the lucky last on Friday. She made good of her nice weight allocation at the race conditions and looks a very smart horse who is certainly enjoying her racing thus far in Singapore. The other star of the night, the Douglas Dragon-trained BUMBLE BEE, showed he is a horse to be reckoned with a commanding win in race 8. In all sorts of trouble in the back few heading into the straight and with a wall of horses in front of him, Moreira just steered him through traffic at will and he was fairly flying when given any daylight. His form (and RENEXIS) has certainly stood up since their dead heat a few months back and a return bout would be a race to watch. Elsewhere the form held up nicely (although only two outright winners) with the exception of RONGPONGI in race 4 who was the flop of the month thus far. Video and results can be found at: http://www.simonhicks.com/kranji2...

- kranjiracing
Just to add, Ronpongi in the fourth looks a very strong winning hope and would have been the special except we try not to do specials in maidens if we can help it.
- Larry Foley
I almost picked him to win but wnet with the horse with race experience on a coin toss only. I will have a each way bet on him though as he could be value and Sam Chua is going well. Which half of the name did you pick?
- Larry Foley
our fellow forumer winterman also pick him, looks like i will follow you guys this time, at least for some value. cheers. race 6 i am looking for a outsider chance between don's on my marque n sun villiage.both didnt do any good on py, but handicap rating have drop to too low a level to ignore.giro is a good contender with bad drawn.
- longtze88
On My Marque was flying last time late and while this is not an ideal race I think he is too good a form to not win if race run to suit. Good each way option at hopefully each way odds. Tough night isn't it? Give me two winners and I will go home happy.
- Larry Foley
sincrely you make my day on on my marque, good forcast.thank you
- longtze88
for a minute there i thought i had the win but a looked like a bit of late traffic costly (from memory - i haven't looked at replay yet). lot's of forecats last night so hopefully everyone made some money.
- Larry Foley
Just did the replay - he was never going to beat Giro but a nice run (and result) anyway. His stablemate, Sun Village, is going well also and well worth following over a more suitable distance.
- Larry Foley
my my, that bumble bee was impressive! not sure of the "great ride" comment by max though - i thought moreira made it very tough on himself and i could have won on a horse going that well. but max does love "magic" and why not.

It's going to be a wet day! Any mudlark horses to recommend?

Larry is currently playing in another charity football match so cannot get back to you at the moment. But I know that he does not pay to much attention to the yielding track as he believes that the Singapore track is so good that form will hold up regardless. But in saying that Screaming Eagle should improve on a wet track with all 4 of his wins coming on yielding tracks.
- Punters Pal
Hi Desmond - back from football and just checking kranji and it looks teh track wil get downgraded sooner than later. However, as punters pal points out the track is so good I try not to dwell on wet track form and if he it gets bad I play by ear later. Horses like Screaming eagle, in form anyway, do come into more contention but it is an early race and hopkins still tough to beat. I do...

- Larry Foley
Continues to bucket down... race 3 - screaming eagle and lucky sun have wet form but we have them in our selections anyway and hopkins still hardest to beat. I think good race horses win today if that makes sense (i.e bad horses will give up a lot quicker and the fighters get up).

There is no such thing as a sure thing. But when a horse wins at debut by the length of a fairly substantial condiminium swimming pool and carries just 50 odd kg in what looks a fairly average Novice affair - you would imagine he wins. BETTER THAN EVER (r8) is the horse and, with only one legitimate challenger (RAMJET), he looks a very good thing. He will be short (6 and 5 in Singapore - we can't do anythng about that) and it might be a case of just watch a good horse go 'round or play a solid forecast bet with...Read more: http://www.simonhicks.com/kranji2...

Larry is not available to comment at the moment but Larry and myself discussed the chances of Another Sunday the other day. Larry is very keen on Another Sunday and expects it to go very well tonight. He is happy to put a line through the last start and go on it's 2 good efforts prior to that.

Growing up playing cricket in Australia I never understood the term "Go for the Doctor". Until now that is.

Can he maintain the trend???

When RENIXUS and BUMBLE BEE fought out a thrilling finish in June, a dead-heat seven or so lengths in front of their nearest rivals, no one would have guessed just how good this maiden form would be. Two starts later, RENIXUS was placed in Group company and on that run he is a special to win race 7 on Friday, a Kranji Stakes C over 1600m. BUMBLE BEE, having his first start since that dead heat, looks a monty on that form as he takes on a Class 4 field over the same distance. Need we say more?

hi larry, we had a review on polytrack, for me i am still not comfortable on polytrack, i wish i can understand more asap .i believe a 1200m poly track is like running a1400m race,but how can that be-will be the answer from a engineering piont of view.btw hope theres some feedback from you guys here will be appreciated.
- longtze88
Thats' OK - it was always going to be a race in two at the weights so I had a strong forecast and, as I had them basically rated the same, a little bet on Super Lucky Colour at value. I'm struggling with the maidens etc so thinking about giving them a miss and waiting for the better races later in most cards.

Race three had so many chnaces i ended up backing all teh value - rinda jade , steel cut, golden sprint and for some reason left out cherry power who was paying very well. It was a good race to watch but no result. Rinda Jade a monty when she drops to Class 5.

I don't mind the odd upset or two as that what makes racing great but it's nice when the form holds up. I will investigate more on some stats and see if there is anything we can look at in future. Hope Friday is a better day for winners!!
- Larry Foley
no problem mr larry, thanks for reply, its was nice talking to you during your trust day, for the time being, i would prefer not to challenge the polytrack(betting part). following it with token bet for the time spend to analyse the racecard just for the thrill ,i shall be glad. overheard many punters was hit badly wednesday night.
- longtze88
mr john meagher likes to give his horse a freshenup break and score 1stup after the break, highkey fit his pattern with blinker on, as he have 3 runners in the race, which is the intended winner remains a question ??as equience also looks like the contender here.whats your opinion?
- longtze88
Meagher has three runners with hopes and Lims two in the same race so it is a bit of a raffle. Equinence is due but I like the fact blinkers added to High Key. Looking again I probably lean towards High Key - just! Better to watch I think and wait for Ramjet!!! As a matter of interest maxworthy from STC has Trigger Synergy as his special in race one.

singapore horse race meeting preview for wednesday july 22, 2009 - singapore-horse-racing.net
A bonus for Singapore punters with a mid-week meeting this Wednesday 22 July - although some tricky little races on the Poly makes for an interesting night. After a bit of a disaster on Friday (only the one winner) and with our special not performing at all, we need to get straight back on the proverbial winning horse and SADDLE THE WIND in race 9 should do just that. Three good runs (and showing at his last start he can be ridden from the rear) suggests he is ready to win and this race looks more than suitable to open his Kranji account. It is a race with many chances so we should get value and with the stable and hoop in good form it looks a nice way to finish the evening. Elsewhere, HAPPY ENDING, a kranjiracing favourite, looks to have...Read more: http://www.simonhicks.com/kranji2...

It has been a long time since I have had a happy ending but I think it is coming late on Wednesday night. I think Larry has picked the last 2 winners and feel very confident to have a good go on both of them. (Including an all-up bet). Of the other races I give Abdicate a good chance in race 6. Can get a good sit from barrier 1 while the speedsters battle it out in front. Should be finishing the race off well with his light weight.
- Punters Pal
Abdicate looks due and always a chance. What do you think about Maxi Marine, Punters Pal?
- bob
Maxi Marine. On the positive side we have - blinkers, barrier, jockey, fitness. On the negative side we have - too slow
- Punters Pal
With Casino Royale out of race 4 (see early out's - late mail) I have put Giro on top. Inititally I had Fashion Thunder as my second pick but I think he is more of an each way horse if that makes any sense.
- Larry Foley
any idea whats the (important) primary pointers we should look for on polytrack.speerating doesnt work so well on poly, compare to turf for kranji,class, pace, early speed factors also is not very predictable compare to turf here.
- longtze88
After last night I'm surprised you ask here Longtze. Form is form these days (compared to before with Fibresand being chalk and cheese with turf) so a horse has to be going well. My next port of call is inner track form. Not neccessarily Poly form only as it is a different type of horse that can handle the one or two tight corners etc..so even look at the old Fibre form. After that I...

- longtze88
Hi Longtze - excellent questions as it has been enough time to find out what's going on regarding the Polytrack. I think Larry meant that he was surprised you asked after last night because kranjiracing only picked the one winner (but at nice odds it covered my night). Any statistical information on any races in always welcome.

I hope that u are right, Bob, Cheers and Happy Punting.

chootsim, longtze88 and Simon Hicks liked this
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...

- chootsim
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...

singapore horse race meeting preview for friday july 10, 2009 - singapore-horse-racing.net
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...
- kranjiracing
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.
