VON SNITZEL and READY FORTUNE start for FORTUNA NZ RACING STABLE Singapore Sunday 14th July

Derby Day in Singapore this coming Sunday and while neither of the two FORTUNA runners are in the big event, their owners are nevertheless looking forward to their raceday outings with a lot of anticipation.

VON SNITZEL steps out in Race 1, a Kranji Stakes D event. Down in class from his last start, VON SNITZEL should be competitive in this race, but does have a wide barrier draw to contend with in the 1200 metre event. Will be helped by ths 3kg claim of Te Akau Racing’s Apprentice, Willy Tan.

3yo READY FORTUNE fronts up in Race 4, an Initiation event over 1600 metres on the Turf. Will this be his night, after having run three seconds so far in his Singapore career, but not yet winning? Drawn barrier 2, the 1600 metres is a perfect distance for him, he likes the Turf surface and has a 2kg weight allowance courtesy of Senior Apprentice rider, Shafiq Rusof.
