Some solid without being spectacular races to close the card but those that were impressed with ALASAMO last start maiden win, will want to get back on-board in race 7.
A very solid Friday night card headlined by the Premier Racing Partnerships Stakes Open for three-year-olds, the first leg of the More Magic 3YO Championships (race 7).
The Jumbo Jet Trophy highlights a very good days racing and more importantly heralds the start of what is arguably the best two months of racing in Singapore.
Trial form is often over-looked when doing race form but it will pay to start including those with a nice hit-out under their belt.
It will be interesting to see if followers of Joao Moreira have “pockets-full” after Friday or are licking their brazilian wounds heading to the 11 race card on Sunday.

A tough card to find winners but on the the plus side that usually equates to value for canny punters.
A rare August feature with the running of the Causeway Classic and the Group 3 race certainly brightens an otherwise standard fare of Poly and turf racing.
An odd card on Sunday with some good races and some not so good races on offer.

Ironically, it was a colt which provided Alan with a first Gr1 success, this being Alec and Gillian Foster’s homebred Cereus, who landed the 2001 Gold Cup at Hollywoodbets Greyville, his victory completing a momentous double on the day, with the Gr2 Golden Slipper having gone the way of juvenile filly Tatler, a great-great-great grandaughter of Sun Lass!
JP van der Merwe is not the only guilty party in the matter. In simple terms, he is the only rider to have exercised the NHA’s offer of an Acknowledgement Of Guilt and moved on with his life
Andrew Fortune made it three winners on the Family Day public holiday as Tenango breezed home to win the Gr3 feature
The son of Master Of My Fate will likely side-step stablemate Eight On Eighteen in the Daily News and go via the Greyville 1900 and Cup Trial into the big one on 5 July
