Fortuna has three runners in Singapore Saturday 3^rd  July

Brutus starts in the Class 4 1100 Polytrack event (race three at 5 pm) it will be ridden by leading apprentice apprentice K Hakim claiming 2kgs – he gets a lovely draw here and will carry just 51 kg with the claim – very rarely runs a bad race – looking to be very competitive here and represents a strong each way chance

 BRUTUS (inside) – Wins in Singapore 19th September 2020

Sportscaster races in the Class 5 1700 Polytrack event  (race five at 6 pm) – former Singapore champion apprentice Shafiq Rusof, making his Singapore come back takes the mount and will ride from barrier five – this horse has been running over shorter trips as a lead up to this type of race at his favourite distance – loves to lead and will give a great sight here and is a good each way chance

Here is what the Singapore Turf Club tipsters have to say about this race;

1st Pick: HERO IN THE WIND (5)

Last three runs have been solid. Only one win on his CV, but will take some beating if he reproduces his recent good form here.

2nd Pick: LION SPIRIT (1)

Narrowly missed a podium spot last time out. Recorded only win over course and distance. Each-way claims.

3rd Pick: SPORTSCASTER (4)

Versatile type who can mix up his distances. Three of his four wins were recorded over course and distance. Bears watching.

4th Pick: ENDLESS (7)

Often beaten by his awkward starts. Not without a turn of foot. Place claims look better again.

Red Rover is in the Class 4 1100 Polytrack event  (race 12 at 9:30 pm) –  champion jockey Vlad Duric will ride him from barrier 10 – out of form for most of 2020, a recent 3rd placing gave a glimpse of him being back to his best – loves to lead and will endeavour to do so from his wide draw and if he can get to the lead represents a good winning chance

Here is what the Singapore Turf Club tipsters have to say about this race;

1st Pick: RED ROVER (2)

Wide barrier will suit him after jockey stated he resented running in among runners last time out. Shadow roll on. Has maintained his form and can bounce back here.

2nd Pick: SUPER SMART (5)

Can mix his form but if on song, he is not without a say in this. May find the 1100m a little sharp but if they run along, he can finish off the best.

3rd Pick: THUNDER (4)

Last-start closing second was a ripper but his poor Polytrack form is a query. Was unplaced in three runs on Polytrack. Place claims.

4th Pick: ARION PASSION (7)

Scored in Class 5 company last time out but always found it harder to make his mark when going one class up. Can still include in calculation for the exotics.
