Although this weekend's racing lacked the stars that we have seen in recent weeks, there were still a number of notable performances and some key horses to follow.

Trainer Michael Clements is eyeing off a first Singapore Gold Cup glory after promising Argentinian stayer Imperial March overpowered his rivals with ease in the $100,000 Auckland Racing Club Trophy (1600m) on Sunday.

While results have been mixed with the odd flash of brilliance here and there, trainer Michael Clements said patience was key to the batch of Argentinian-breds he has been campaigning for a while now.

Promising three-year-old Imperial March appears well placed to collect back to back victories when set to contest the third event this evening.
