Starting with Friday night, we have the Open Benchmark 97 over the 1400m turf track which looks very competitive.

One More Minute has loads of dash and little weight in this and should enjoy the trip. We are going to add in the promising Davide who may find this a challenge but if he can respond well he could finish in the money. Art of Speed will certainly be amongst the action and although Clint has got the top weight he has experience on his side.

On Sunday Race 10 is an Open over 1800m turf with a field of 8 to run. Aserious is looking like a serious racehorse and this should suit. Silveron Wings is very honest, and for interest we are adding Maurice Utrillo who looks to be finding a rich vein of form and the well-named and lightly-weighted Chase Me.

Other news from Singapore is that Don Baertschiger is to retire and has passed the reins on to son Shane who has been his assistant for the last few years. Don has spent 19 years in Singapore and has been a witness to the rise of racing standards in Singapore.
