Race 3:
#15 Red Sapphire: Poly last out and not too far off the two prior starts over the distance in this class. Now draws inside with Prebble. 10-1 looks juicy.
#11 Military Alliance: Has been close and now gets Purton.
#2 Bob: Magic Man should put him right on the lead but has been run down his last few.
#12 Well Done: Progressing well and can go close again on the step up.

Race 5:
Can't claim to know much about the class/conditions of these races, but #9 Smart Idea was 4th when last seen in this specific class and gets the upgrade to Rodd. 10-1.

Race 7:
#13 Cheetah On Fire: Has proven ability over the mile and gets is super low in the weights. Worth a chance at 15-1.
#10 Gold Rustle: A bit hit and miss, but good record over the distance and has drawn well. 20-1.

Race 9 - Krisflyer Sprint:
#2 Aerovelocity: Fantastic trial shows he's still in top form after the Japan trip. Tough to beat.
#7 Magneto: Progressing 4yo won in a slick time three back. Faded on the poly two starts ago and couldn't handle the wet when missing the start. Dangerous frontrunner at 100-1.
#6 Emperor Max: 2nd last year and clearly needed the run last out even though it was a great third. Great draw on the rail.
#9 Kiwi Karma: 3yo filly took the lead and just got nailed late against these locals. Should continue to improve.
I don't know if #5 Zac Spirit is this class but never count out Moreira...

Race 10 - Singapore Airlines International Cup
#3 Meiner Frost: Got the win last time against much lesser but has reportedly caught the eye since arriving.
#1 Military Attack: Dominated two years ago with an inside run and was less effective last year with a wide draw. Back to the inside this time and ignore the last---passed a late vet exam.
#9 Free Port Lux: Never been too fond of this one but can't disrespect the connections. The slight give in the ground will suit.
#2 Dan Excel: Had a setback over the latter part of 2014. Loves the track but has it tough from the outside gate.
Won't be putting much on this as it looks quite chalky. Raiders dominate this race and those are the ones in the betting. No horse in the relatively short history of the race has won it twice. Not a confident pick with the Japanese runner but wanted to go with something different.

Top class from Aerovelocity...Dan Excel took advantage of the pace, but thought Military Attack and even Free Port Lux (given race complexion) ran just as well...

Used my last $10 bonus bet on TAB to hit the Tri in the Sprint for 55.55% (got back $30)...such a pain to reload that account so this was great!

Glad to hear it! Nice pick with Aerovelocity.

Will be awesome to see War Affair win the Derby tonight (and hoping that Quechua is right behind).

Also of note, Johnny Guitar, Wild Geese and Slew of Load in the 5th and Kiwi Karma, Flax, Flak Jacket, El Padrino and the Singapore debut of Albany Reunion in the 10th.

Only follow here and there BUT here's the draw for the Singapore Gold Cup...

My sentimental picks are Quechua and Wild Geese (terrible post position - won't happen here) but Stepitup is a serious horse and I don't know if they're all running for 2nd or not.
