Race 7 on Friday night sent shockwaves at Kranji when $692 rank-outsider Pioneer Seven went all the way to show his 11 better-fancied rivals a clean set of heels in the $80,000 Class 3 speed dash over 1000m.

The mouth-watering showdown between Singapore's top gallopers War Affair and Spalato will finally eventuate with the star duo set to clash in the seventh event this evening.

Laurie Laxon’s grand warrior Huka Falls has fought his last battle at Kranji and will now head to New Zealand where a new career awaits him.

Star sprinter Super Winner appears well placed to continue his winning run when due to contest the ninth event at Singapore this evening.

The Laurie Laxon duo of Huka Falls and Ruapehu underlined their sparkling forms when they shone in the last two barrier trials on Tuesday, with their trainer hopeful the wins will translate into the ones that matter this weekend.
