                                                23 JUNE 2013
                                           READY TO STRIKE

                                        RACE 8 OPEN STAKES
                                       1800M LONG COURSE E
                                             STAKES $125,000

                                   BACKGROUND INFORMATION
My postings continue to be tardy but I am still having the best strike rate scores in the market. Time constraints will not allow me to monitor other scores so I will just concentrate on my own strike rates and will update the tally when the opportinity arises when I settle down to a manageable schedule.

                                     PREVIEW OF RACE 8
I expect the pace to be very slow with Ready To Strike the lone front runner who will dictate the pace of the race, If Freedman has serious ambitions for his charges 8 and 7 to capture the top distance Cup races this will be a good opportunity for a test run. I suggest to do a box forecast/place forecast on 3#8#7. In order my selections are 3-8-7-4. Do a medium bet on 3 to win and place. Among Freedman' s charges 7 has been more prominent at trackwork and is a Listed Race winner but 8 looks better suited to this race distance and can upset if she has Cup aspirations.

GOALKEEPER (x2)

1100M Polytrack

Stakes $125,000



Race 7 OPEN CLASS

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Goalkeeper was always going to be a sofite on a grass track in the Kris Flyer over the unsuitable Turf surface. Put him on the poly track and he will morph into a completely differenanimak and I still rate hin as the Polytrack specislist and the best in Singapore on this surface and he will lead (hopefully all the way ).

Racing Guide and Xiu Fang are tied on 134 wins from427 races for a respectable 31,38% and Ma Hui is on 128 wins and Joleen is on 26 wins with the rest trailing in their slipstream in the full card challenge.

Due to shift work pressure I intend to discontinue the BIG RACE CHALLENGE with BMW (Benny's Masterclass Wins taking the accolades and my Flagship blog Starstatz Racing a close 2nd or 3rd and my other blog Singapore Nap is in the top 5. In the context of direct comparison we have proven that as far as "BIG RACES and strikerates are concerned 3 of my monickers are occupying 3 out of the top 5 spots and that our techniques in handicapping are at the forefront and we can be considered one of the leading lights(top 5 easily) among Media Tipsters and it is a shame that i am privvy to this knowledge together with a group of fans and followers of my blogs (either as the Resident Tipster representing Singapore or as the Chief contributor on the blog). We have consistently beaten (most of the time) racing luminaries from the Newpaper, Shin Min , Wan Bao and the Victory Trail , Punters Way and Turf Guide with only the Racing Guide giving us a run for our money with us jostling for the Premier tipping accolade together with Andrew Frost. Steve Levar and Andrew Frost(now with Racing Guide) . Both of them have beaten me in certain years and I have beaten them in terms of strike rates in the last 5 years. I shall continue my passion in racing and work for myselef and my appreciate private audience who are on my private sms list and laugh part of the way (not everyday is a winning day) to the bank !



PREVIEW OF RACE

The pace should be good to slow and Goalkeeper should be able to lead all the way with minimal pressure from 1 and 3.My research has been patchy due to work shift requirements but in order my selections are 2-3-4-1-5-6 with 3 as his main threat.

I suggest a medium bet on 2#3-4 for forecast and place forecast and use 2 as the lone banker with 3-4 as the main and 3-4-1-5-6 in the 3rd and 4th lines

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

I have been swamped with shift work so my research is patchy and I was a noshow on Friday despite the favourite obliging but i still have the best 2 strike rtes in the BIg Race Challenge. I am a little concerned I may not be able to give my best and I am considering giving up tipping on my http://www.starstatz/ racing.blogspot.com by end of June. Despite that i believe Pioneer Seven is on his way to better things in Class 1



PREVIEW OF RACE BY SINGAPORE NAP

In order my selections are 2-4-6-5.

Play a big bet on 2 for win only and try fct/pft with 2#6-5.

Despite 1 being rated as in good form i believe the wide barrier will prove to be his undoing but include him in tierce to be safe!

PREVIEW OF RACE BY SINGAPORE NAP
Contrary to market sentiment that Super Ninetyseven will turn the tables on Stepitup this time around after his flying finish when they last met over 1400M I am of the opinion that the winning margin will be greater over the 1600M as Hussonet will racing closer to his forte distance of 1600M to 2000M as he is by the Hussonet/Mr Prospector line and his dam Nothing Leica Dane is from the Danehill/Sir Tristram cross on the damsire side of the family..

I shall only provide the top 4 selections this week due to a busy work schedule.In order my selections are 1-2-3-7. I suggest a big win bet on Stepitup t. Play a big bet on forecast/place forecast on 1#2-3 as 3 is also moving up to a more favourable distance and Alpha Centuri (ignored by most tipsters) could be the wild card to add value to the exotics

Due to work commitments I might have to do a replication post due to late posting. In the full card challenge Racing Guide is leading the pack with 120 wins(32.79% strike rate and Xiu Fang is 2nd with 117 wins (31.97%) and Ma Hui (30.6%)makes the top trio with 112 wins from 366 selections .

In the BIG RACE Challenge BMW is in the lead with 16 wins from 36 selections for an amazing 44.44% strike and my Flagship blog Starstatz Racing is on 14 wins from same for a 40,1.2% strike rate . I shall skip the other scores due to time pressure.



PREVIEW OF RACE BY SINGAPORE NAP

This is fairly open races with many chances just to name 5 and they are 2-5-6-8-9 not any particular order of merit. 2 has the best sectionals and a decent HR . ....5 has a positive HR but is poorly drawn and he has been blazing the tracks during his morning workouts....6 has the best HR in the race. ...8 has a decent HR and ridden by our Champion Jockey and 9 is an up and coming star with a decent HR but his weak sectionals hide a soft under belly. The pace will be good with 3-9-7 leading the way but I suspect 2 has enough early gate speed to thwart their plans for a rails run .

In order my selections are 2-9-6-8-5-7-1....Play a medium bet on 2 on win/place and bet a medium bet on 2#7-6 for forecast and place forecast.Play token bets on 2 as the sole banker and 7-6 as key horses on the 2nd line and 9-6-8-5-7-1on the 3rd and 4th lines

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The top 3 in the full card challenge remains relatively unchanged with the top trio of Racing Guide , Xiu Fang and Ma Hui putting some distance between themselves and the chasing pack.
In the BIG RACE CHALLENGE at the quarter stage of the season I have reason to be proud of my work in direct comparison (same format and identical races)with all the Media Tipsters in Singapore by holding 3 of the top 5 spots with BMW setting the pae up front with 15 wins from 35 selections for a PAR EXCELLENT 42.86 % strike despite the fact that 1st favourites are not faring well in this format. Even if we discount this score I am proud that my Flagship blog Starstatz Racing (with the benefit of Track Watcher's report) is 2nd with 13 winners from 35 selections for a for an impressive 37.14% strike rate. Craig Evans has surprised me by doing well in 3rd with 12 winners from 32 selections for a 34.29% strike rate and my other Flagship blog (without the benefit of Trackforn Report) Singapore Nap is on joint 4th with Ma Chao to be on 11 winners from 35 selections for a credible 31.435 strike rate!

PREVIEW OF RACE BY SINGAPORE NAP
This is a fairly open race with 3 likely chances )9-7-1)but the winner will probably come from 2 main protagonists(9 and 7)
Both have impressive credentials to to be in the winner's frame and classy(better strike rate0 number 7 Touch of Gold having the Track Watcher's vote but is drawn wide (will cost him 1.5 lengths) which may be enough for him to play bridesmaid to the speedy Matterhorn (inferior by 0.25 lengths) or points)who is practically on par on Handicap Ratings with the advantage of a good to slow pace and the likely rails run. Classy El Padrino has a weaker handicap than 9 and 7but might upset if the pace is fast but he has a stronger handicap rating compared to What Now!

In order my top 7 selections are 9-7-2-1-8-6-4. Forecast /place forecast is a good play with a big bet on 9-7 and a cover and smaller bet on 1#9-7.

For the tierce and quartet do play cautiously by using 2 bankers and the top 6 only and use 9-7-2 as key horses on the 2nd line with 9-7-2-1-8-6 on the 3rd and 4th lines

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
I believe Racing Guide is still in the lead in the full card Challenge from Xiu Fang in 2nd with 108 wins from 346 selectionsand Ma Hui in 3rd with 105 wins from 346 races.

In the BIG RACE CHALLENGE BMW is still in the lead with 14 wins from 34 selections for a 38.24% strike rate . Due to new job commitments I have been brief in my comments and tally for this week

PREVIEW OF RACE BY SINGAPORE NAP
Black Fiery actually has the best Handicap Rating among raced horses in this race but I believe OReilly progeny (War Affair) are very precocious when young and the closing sectionals of 22.64 when carrying 22.64 makes War Affair capable of doing 22.729 for today . While not quite at Rocket Man and Super Easy's standards doing sub 22.0 seconds this sectional time is an indication of War Affair' s class potential to improve further.

Since most of the horses are unraced I suggest a large win bet only on War Affair and limited play on 10#2-1 for forecast and place forecast only. I suggest skipping the tierce and quartet play for this race and if it rains do bet bigger as OReilly progeny are noted mudlarks. In order my selections are 10-2-1-7-6-8-3.If you must play the larger exotics like tierce and quartet then use 10 as the sole banker and 2-1 as they horses on the 2nd line with 2-1-7-6-8-3 on the 3rd and 4th lines

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

We can't judge a book by its cover and I may be jumping the gun again ( what else is new? ....except the bookmaking by a local Trainer caught in the jockey room which STC staff when interviewed replied with a no comment)by looking at the Turf Belles Promotion photos and advertisments for 2013 finalists i would be hard pressed to find 3 or more Ladies who can hold their own when compared to last year's outstanding debut group of Turf Belles 2012. This years group do not seem as impressive on looks and they do not seem as impressive in articulation ( I could be wrong but my instincts tell me i am on the right scent) as well! STC should review why standards have gone down and greater outreach should be done to reach 3rd parties like Model Agencies and other Talent agencies and encourage (make it worth their while with further monetary incentives by re-imbursing them a 30% cut for the chosen candidates who make the finals and make provisionss for 13 belles ( in case one of them is unable to perform their obligations) for the year ! I hope not and I trust STC to at least maintain ( or further improve ) the Prizes on offer in compensation for the innumerable elimination round/s , deportment classes that the Ladies have to attend to stay in the competition. Is the remuneration on offer sufficient to cover time utilised and day-offs taken especially for those who are not the top 3 Prize Winners?

These Ladies work hard to score points in their quest for the title and in the process they incur transport/meal and time off from their regular jobs. Are they re-imbursed for these numerous exertions sufficient to recover expenses incurred for costumes and dresses hair styling and make -up.....are these items sponsored or subsidized. Perhaps STC has to send out invitations to last year's top 5 to be paid (to make it worth their while) to grace the occasion on the lead up race day and actual Singapore Airlines Cup day . The other drastic alternative is to revamp the format and change it to job for hire professional basis and scrap the competition format and although it discards the " WOW" factor of beauty Queens the end result may be an improvement in quality and cost savings may be effected as these Ladies are hired but the Model Agency Directors get a 30% decent cut for their efforts rsulting in a win-win situation for all parties. I understand that STC Management is hyper-sensitive to critical feedback but if my comments stand on their merits i hope they will review my suggestions and take it on board for free. Perhaps I should be a paid Consultant but honestly my crystal ball will have to crack ( i have long given up that such blessings are possible at all )

before such a momentous decision is made! STC should thank me for the feedback and graciously accept the free advice !



IN THE FULL CARD CHALLENGE Racing Guide should adopt the theme song called " Lonesome Me' With 107 wins from 335 selections ( 31.94% strike rate) with a distinctive lead and Xiu Fang is 2nd on 104 wins with a 31,04% strike rate) and Ma Hui is on 3rd with 102 wins for a 30,45% strike rate!



IN THE BIG RACE CHALLENGE has regained the lead with 13 wins from 33 selections for a 39.39% strike rate and Craig Evans is doing well with 11 wins from 30 selectins for an impressive 36,67% strike rate and Ma Chao and my FLAGSHIP BLOG Starstatz Racing are now joint 3rd with 12 wins from 33 selections for a 36,36% Singapore Nap . Mr X and Zheng Qiang are now in joint 5th with 10wins from 33 selections for a decent 30.3% strike rate



PREVIEW OF RACE BY SINGAPORE NAP

This race is similar to the QE II Cup in that there are 2 main protagonists but the difference is that they are both stablemates. Super Easy has seen off the other opposition in the past on much better terms and the edge of 0.7 HR points is somewhat nullified by 2 being drawn better in barrier 1 and 1 might have to travel 2 wide all the way or elect o sit in the box seat on the expected slow pace shown by 6 and 2 in a slow pace race and i believe that 6 could cross over and get the rails run with his 23.822 opening sectionals. If the race is done slower than 24.0 it will boost the chnaces of 6-2-1 to run and monopolise the top 3 spots and I suspect most pundits have been swayed by his 1st start dismal turf run from barrier 9 and have written him off as a turf horse and barrier 6 is a significant upgrade! Most Media Tipsters have number 3 Speedy Cat (after an impressive win on Poly) and 1200M Turf short course record breaker El Milagro as clearly in 4th and have clearly established that 6 will miss the cut!

if the pace pans out to be slower than 24.0 as expected. I expect the front trio of 6-2-1 to freeze the rest out of the top 3 with either 1 or 2 capturing this event if 1 and 3 make a go for it and try to win for the respective honours. The data on SF and sectionals seem to favour 1 but be wary that some of 2's figures were done over the long course so they should be interpreted as room for further improvement and will upset if 1 is tardy out of the gates. However with the Group 1 Prize offer on hand I do expect a truly run race with the Owners cheering their respective chages to strive to be the best and I reckon Super Easy is not in a great hurry to relinquish his Crown as Prince of Kranji with the absence of Rocketman! I anticipate Speedy Cat (drawn badly as well)is a Polytrack Specialist and his credentials on Turf are overhyped and today he will not get the truly fast pace he needs to do well and I fully expect Emerald Hill with a superior rating over 5 who beat him before to turn the tables on 5 and and possibly 3 who has drawn wide as well!

In order my selections are 1-2-6-5-3-4-7and I recommend to be using 2 bankers on the 1st line and 1-2-6 on the 2nd line with at least 2-6-3-5-4 with 7 as optional . bet big on 1#2-6 for a big forecast / place forecast. Big win bet on Super Easy to win only!

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

I am bemused by the way STC conducts its business regarding the issue of the a local leading local Trainer for season 2011 being caught in the jockey room at STC premises at Kranji for alleged bookmaking activities. This is in direct contrast to the way HKGJC conducted its prosecution of Chris Munce for illegal activities in his conduct with Owners for accepting bribes and gratuities in reference to providing horse racing tips.

In my opinion it sets a dangerous precedent and what happens if these offenders commit further crimes or fraud , deception or conspiracy when dealing with unsuspecting members of the public not in the loop with the insider news like myself? What if these Trainers or jockeys collect monies from the public to buy new horses when they are already under suspension or banned by STC but this information is not disseminated to the general public? it opens a pandora.s box for suits and countersuits admidst allegations of fraud if this becomes a reality and monies are lost! What then? i believe it is better to call a spade a spade then to whitewash every scandal and sweep everything under the carpet just to keep STC's pristine and squeaky clean image. Of course I truly believe a person should not be tagged guilty until he is founf guilty of that particular crime. Terms like "alleged" or "suspect " can be used until a person is proven guilty!. We have had people who left for legitimate reasons so these people should be tarnished with the same brush but to camoflauge these illegal activities with whitewash like ...he went back because his family member is sick or he went back to Australia for greener pastures. The irony is that after serving their ban discretely in Australia we even applaud them when they make a comeback as if we are endorsing and applauding their illegal behaviour! which I find outrageous and farcical to the point of being ludicrous ! Our local boys like Sivan are slapped with a lengthy ban and announced publicly...this serves as an example of how errant behaviour is punished and shamed in the process as a deterrent and warning that such indiscretions will be dealt with and duly punished. Do we have a different policy for Trainers compared to jockeys or is STC discriminating between expats and local boys with different treatment ) STC should take the cue from HKGJC ( with the Chris Munce, Trainer Patrick Biancone doping case and the recent jockey Eric Saint Martin /Trainer Leung case) and The British Racing authorities with the example of Goldophin Trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni ( banned for 8 years) for the doping of horses using banned substances. How can we aspire to be a World Class Racing Centre when we do not follow world class standard practices in dealing with recalcitrants amd instead such indiscretions ( to put it mildly) are kept hush hush with details (including identity and crime ) kept from the unsuspecting racing public. Such silence on such episodes does not make Singapore a cleaner Racing Centre. I implore STC Top Management to review their existing policies on such deviant practices instead of the current polite policy of treating them with kid's gloves and a happy glorified sending off when deported. Public profiling of such cases will serve as a strong deterrent against future malpractices!

In the full card challenge Racing Guide is presumably in the lead with a 104 wins ( 31.9% strike rate from 326 selections with their 7 win score form Sunday' s races) from 2nd place Xiu Fang on 100 wins (30.67% strike rate). Ma Hui is in 3rd on 97 wins (29.75% strike rate) , Mr X is in 4th on 93 wins (28.53% strike rate) and Andrew Frost is in 5th with 92 wins (28.22%)

In the BIG RACE CHALLENGE Ma Chao and BMW are in the joint lead with 12 wins from 32 selections for a 37.5% strike rate . Craig Evans is in 3rd with 10 wins from 29 selections for a 34.48% strike rate and Starstatz Racing ( my Flagship blog)is in 4th with 11 wins(34.38% strike rate) from 32 selections . Singapore Nap is in joint 5th with Mr X and Zheng Qiang with 9 wins from 32 selections for a 28.13% strike rate.



I am particularly proud that Singapore Nap (replication posting) and Starstatz Racing scored on the direct forecast in the exact order and the tierce quartet with the remaining 5 selections for a minimum outlay of $20 for the tierce and $40 for the quartet if you had used one banker on the 1st line and one key horse on the 2nd line and weven if you had used 2 key horses on the 2nd line you would have been rewarded handsomely with $14 fr a win and $105 for the tierce and $552 for the quartet! for a decent and respectable profit!



PREVIEW OF RACE

i DO NOT AGREE WITH THE PUNTERS WAY WRITE UP THAT BETTER LIFE AND FLAX HAVE EQUAL CHANCES. BETTER LIFE IS BY NO MEANS A SHOO-IN BUT HER CREDENTIALS AND CHANCES ARE CERTAINLY MUCH BETTER THAN FLAX.

Better Life's Sire;s claim to fame was in winning 2 legs of the (Smarty Jones) Triple Crown winning The Preakness Stakes , The Kentucky Derby and only narrowly missing out on The Belmont Stakes at 2400M while Flax's sire Silvano won the Singapore Airlines Cup and moreover Better Life has a better win strike rate and has a good 2nd up record winning once and placed twice from 4 1st up starts . he expected fast pace with 4 front runing types in in 9-1-3-2 will also favour the Japanese backed mare Better Life. Curiously if Flax gets his slow pace forte he might upset the pretty Lady with a superior 0.8 points HR rating but I truly believe that Brian Miller and myself are on the right track having being influenced by the same Mentor , Benny Ortega who guided us quietly behind the scenes discretely when he made a case for Better Life in winning the Singapore Gold Cup. Overlook her last start defeat at the unsuitable distance of 1600M as 2000M is closer to her forte distance.

Play a big bet on win only on Better Life and and my selections in order are 11-1-4-3-5-2-7. Use 11 as the sole banker and 1-4 as key horses on the 2nd line and use 1-4-3-5-2-7 on the 3rd and 4th lines and use 11 box 1-4 for the forecast and place forecast in a big bet with good confidence for profits

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Hui Liang of Shin Min put in a sterling top performance of the day with 5 wins on Friday from 9 races.

In the BIG RACE CHALLENGE Ma Chao remains in the lead with 12 wins from 31 selections for a 38.7% strike rate and while BMW is in 2nd with 11 wins from 31 selections for a 35.48% strike rate. Starstatz Racing is in 3rd with 10 wins from same for a 32.26% strike rate and Craig Evans is in 4th with 9 wins from 28 selections for a 32.14% strike rate and Mr X is in 5th with 9 wins from 31 selections for a 29.03% strike rate and Singa pore Nap are in jointn6th winh 8 wins from 31 selections for a 25.81% strike rate.
Today's race revisits the handicapping controversy ...which is more important....Handicap Ratings or Speed Figures(supported by best sectional times and bring STC's website to the level of information provided by HKGJC website.If not Trackus will remain a white elephant used only by a small elite band of experienced Handicappers and insiders like Trainers. It is STC's duty to commission a individual/organisation or publication to produce professional data for the Punters to educate and upgrade their better knowlwdge and understanding of the "Sport of Kings". Even I am a work in progress having recently refined my calculation of sectional times computation which I will show today in comparison of Stepitup and Super Ninetyseven.
If my feedback falls on deaf ears I guess I will reap the benefits of having an edge on the market and perhaps in future write a best seller on Handicapping in Horseracing. I observe with a sense of amusement at Punters Way's antics in producing 1st 200M /1st 300M /1st 400M (by co-incidence only) , 1st 600M/1st 800M and even 1100M sectionals . I hope they will explain to their readers one day on how to use these various sectionals in helping them achieve better successs but their relative poor win  tally speaks for itself

PREVIEW OF RACE BY SINGAPORE NAP
The pace will be fast with 4 front running types in in 3-6-5-8 and I do expect an improved performance from Simple Pleasures (one win from one 2nd up start) after coming back from a spell) to cement his 3rd spot behind the 2 main protagonists ...Stepitup and Super ninetyseven.

Let's examine the HR credentials of the top 7...
1) 79.5....SF1:22.87 ...SECTIONALS 25.893/22.113 = 48.006 ( DESPITE HIS OVERALL SLOWER SECTIONALS COMPARED TO 2...HIS FINAL 400M BURST PORTENDS TO HIS ABILITY TO OVERWHELM 2 IF PUSH COMES TO SHOVE AND HE IS TESTED FULLY)....HIS SUPERIOR HR FIGURES AND HIS SUPERIOR STRIKE RATE OF 5 WINS FROM 6 STARTS IS A FURTHER POINTER TO BEAT 2 TO THE WINNING POST

2) 69.5....SF 1:21.496 SECTIONALS 24.777/22.192 = 46.969...inferior strike rate of 4 wins from 7 races hints that he is not as classy as 1

3) 71.87

4) 71.62 (disadvantaged by wide barrier draw)

7) 65.5

10) 67.87

13) 70.0.

In order my selections are 1-2-3-13-4-7-10 (drop 10 if on a tight budget).

Play a big bet on Stepitup on win only and play a big bet on forecast /place forecast box on 1#2-3(there is a possibility that 3 can upset 2 as he also has an impressive strike rate of 2 wins from 4 races). Use 1 as the sole banker on the 1st line and 2-3 as key horses on the 2nd line and at least 2-3-13-4-7 on the 3rd and 4th lines and drop 10 if desired for budget reasons

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Racing Guide continues their inexplicable reticence in publishing their win tally in their race publications possibly due to space constraints or a hermit -like bashfulness in higlighting their current scores so I shall assume with 3 wins last week that they are either in the lead in the full card challenge or joint leaders with Xiu Fang on 91 wins from 305 selections for a 29.84 % strike rate and Ma Hui is hot on their heels in 3rd with 90 wins from same for a 29.51% strike rate. The rest led by Mr X in 4th on 85 wins are somewhat off the pace with a 27.87% strike rate and Andrew Frost is in 5th with 84 wins for a 27.54% strike rate and Hui Liang makes 6th spot with 83 wins for a 27.21% strike rate.

In the BIG RACE CHALLENGE Ma Chao is in a clear lead with 12 wins from 30 selections for an impressive 40% strike rate and BMW is currently in 2nd with 11 wins from same for a 36.67% strike rate and my Flagship blog Starstatz Racing is in joint 3rd with 10 wins from 30 selections together with Craig Evans with 9 wins from 27 selections for the same 33.33% strike rate. Mr X is in 5th wih with 9 wins for a 30% strike rate . Singapore Nap and Zheng Qiang are in joint 6th with 8 wins from 30 selections for a 26.67% strike rate!

PREVIEW OF RACE
Rapido Star looks like a shoo-in in this race with practically every factor except Barrier draw and Handicap Rating and speed figure being the best in this race but with Best handicap ratings among the in form horse and 3rd best speed figure(inferior only to Lago Bay and Cash Dot Com for actual 1000M race distance . With 4 front runners in in 2-8-6-9 I do expect a fast pace race and this will suit Rapido Star which will suit Rapido Star's off pace running style!

Place a big bet on win only on Rapido Star and i do expect a return of $8 to $9 . In order my selections are 3-6-2-9-8-4-7 and use 6-2  to click with 3 ie 3#2-6 for forecast and place forecast and use them as key horses on the 2nd line in all exotics and use 6-2-9-8-4-7 on the 3rd and 4th lines with 3 as the sole banker on the 1st line.Please note selection are in different order from Singapore Nap due to trackform input

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Racing Guide has not seen it fit to publish their latest tally so I shall assume they are 2nd in the full card Challege or joint leaders with Xiu Fang on 89 wins from 295 races for a 30.17% strike rate and Ma Hui is on 3rd with 87 wins from maximum for a 29.49% strike rate. Mr X is on 4th with 86 wins from maximum for a 29.15% strike rate. Hui Liang and Andrew Frost (after a slow start to the season in mid table is slowly coming back into the top 5 as I had predicted as you cannot keep a good Tipster down for long!) are in joint 5th with 81 wins from maximum for a 27.46% strike rate.

In the BIG RACE CHALLENGE things are getting hot at the top with BMW and Ma Chou are in a joint lead with 11 wins from 29 selections for a 37.93 % strike rate. Starstatz Racing and Mr X are on joint 3rd with 9 wins from 29 selecions for a 31.03% strike rate.Singapore Nap is on 5th with 8 wins from 29 selections for a 27.59% strike rate and Xiu Fang, Hui Liang, Ronnie and Zheng Qiang are on joint 6th with a 24.14% strike rate with favourites falling like 10 pins in BIG RACES!

Kudos for performance of the week goes to Ma Hui who struck a direct quartet with an amazing tip on Ready To Strike Lizarre , Better Life and Nandowra in the exact order for a return of $17 for the forecast $89 for the tierce and $220 for the quartet a remarkable feat indeed for a mere $2 for each bet type!
This is what I call race tipping at its finest!

PREVIEW OF RACE BY SINGAPORE NAP
My Guru Benny Ortega once commented that Super Shadow came from a more illustrious family than Super Easy but is more of a miler / stayer type and will win a Class 1 Cup Race one day over 1600M and beyond. He has taken a dfferent method of rising up the classes compared to his Joy and Happiness buddy Super Easy who won consecutive races while Super Shadow has taken 2 steps forwards and one step(by running in unsuitable shorter sprints) backwards in order to camoflauge his Class to the uninitiated racegoer who does not do pedigree bloodstock analysis!

On the other hand Magical Talent has been shown to be in blistering form winning his Trial. His speed figure at at 1:22.927 has been the fastest in this field but his perect record of 2 local wins ffom 2 local starts is a little deceptive if you consider and include his Australian record he the same 3 wins from 7 starts strike rate as Super Shadow! Super Shadow is slightly better off in the handicap with a HR of 70 compared to Magical Talent at 69.5 and Super Junior at 69.5. Zenidekka has a HR of 71 and Speedy Ahead is at HR 69.7.In order my selections are 4-3-9-8-7-6-1.Use 4-3 as joint bankers on the 1st line and 4-3-9 as key horses on the 2nd line and the top 6 selections on the 3rd and 4th lines thereby dropping the 7th pick number 1

The pace will be good to slow with 6-2-4 forcing the pace and 4 will have the box seat behind 6 and on the rails with 2 travelling 2 wide alongside 6.On pace runners 9-8-6 will jump next and put the pressure to ensure a good pace and and pace and 3 may have to travel wide at the home turn to have a crack at the leaders or ride for luck on the rails with the possibility of being impeded for a run! play a big bet on win/place on 4 and forecast /place forecast on 4#3-9 and the exotics as suggested

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
I made a critical comment on 05 April as to why a 2000M staying Class 5 race was named after our illustrious Rocket Man when he was our International Group Champion Sprinter. I have since received an explaination from an STC executive that the races were named in chronological order so it was unfortunate that Rocket Man ended up in that particular race.
With the explaination given apologies are certainly in order for the Department in question!

In the full Card Challenge Racing Guide are out in front with a 84 wins from 283 selections for a 30.39% strike rate and 3 Media Tipsters (Xiu Fang, Ma Hui and Mr X ) are in joint 2nd with 82 wins for a 29.68% strike rate.

In the big race Challenge BMW is on 11 wins fro 28 selections for a 30.29% strike rate Ma Chao is on 2nd with 10 wins from same for a 35.71% strike rate and surprisingly Craig Evans is in 3rd with 8 wins from 23 selections for a 34.78 % strike rate. My Flagship blog Starstatz Racing is in joint 4th with Mr X on 9 wins from 28 selections for a 32.14% strike rate and my other blog Singapore Nap is on 6th with 8 wins from 28 selections for a 28.57% strike rate

PREVIEW OF RACE
i believe certain racegoers still have doubts and bias against horses winning when coming back from a break and Better Life has not raced for especially after 147 days but Better Life has a good 1st up record of 3 wins from 4 1st up starts.For this particular reason I strongly believe that Better Life will pay more than the proverbial $6 for a win and pay a figure close to $9 for a win. If this was normal handicap race Better Life would be carrying 60.5kg compared to Nandowra(remains the same) at 57kg Silveron Wings at 45.5kg instead of Better Life at 54.5kg today and Silveron Wings at 51.5kg

Better Life is a shoo-in at the current HR of 107 compared to Lizarre(expected very slow pace will cause him to take the home turn wide thus losing a few lengths in the process) at 104.1 and Ready To Strike at 100 .79 and Black Ice (drawn wider than Nandowra will put him at a disadvantage for 4th spot) at 100.4 and Nandowra at HR 99.87. WIth a likely bonus for being Japanese bred I believe Better Life will get a win bonus if she wins this race and his Sire Smarty Jones if  I remember correctly has won 2 legs of the Triple Crown and her breeding will prove too classy for this average field and humble and affable Takaoka would have primed the Lady to do well 1st up and take the boys to the cleaners.

This race gives our readers a fantastic chance to hit a direct tierce or quartet and my selections in order are 4-5-3-1-2-6.

I recommend a very large bet on 4#3-5 for forecast/place forecast.
and a big bet on tierce with 4#3-5 as cover with a direct larger bet on 4/3/5 direct for the direct tierce and I do expect value as I expect Lizarre ( number 3 to be 2nd favourite).i HAVE SINCE CHANGED MY MIND FROM THE EMAIL i ORIGINALLY SENT TO SPH For the quartet try 4/3-5/3-5/1-2 for multiple tickets and go for an ambitious direct quartet on 4/5/3/1 and hope to hit the jackpot for a mere $2 ticket.
The slow pace will help the cause of Ready To Strike to stave off the the late challenge of Lizarre but the  long Course will give Better Life and Lizarre (3 has 4.83 lengths advanatage on 5 to compensate for travelling wide at the home turn )enough time to rein in Ready To Strike!

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The full card Challenge is getting tight and exciting and I am glad to to report that Racing Guide (my tip to win the Challenge this year ) has squeezed into a narrow lead over Xiu Fang with a one point lead with 84 wins from 274 selections(30.66%) and Xiu Fang is on 83 wins with a 30.29% strike rate and Ma Hui and Mr X are hot on their heels with 82 wins for a for a 29.93% strike rate and Tan Thean Loon makes the Top 5 with 77 wins for a 28.1% strike rate.

Meanwhile in the BIG RACE CHALLENGE BMW ( Benny's Masterclass Wins) is out in front with 11 wins from 28 selections for a 39.29% strike rate and Ma Chao is 2nd with 10 wins for a 35.71% strike rate and my Flagship blog Startstatz Racing is on joint 3rd with Mr X with 9 wins for a 32.14% strike rate and Singapore Nap is 5th on 8 wins for a 28.57% strike rate .,THE STRIKE RATE OF THE TOP 4 COMPARE FAVOURABLY WITH THE STRIKE RATE OF THE LEADING TIPSTERS IN THE FULL CARD CHALLENGE DESPITE THE ABSENCE OF MANY FAVOURITES ENTERING THE WINNERS" CIRCLE!

I have a complaint against the STC executive who gave the names for today's races and that they should be more conscious and attentive to what they are doing in naming of races today...an example will be Race 5 the race at the distance of 2000M by calling it Rocket Man 2009 Stakes....it is as if this executive does not have a clue as to the exploits of Rocket Man ! To reiterate the point what would you think of calling a 1000 M race the El Dorado Stakes! Should we be calling a Sprint Race the Rocket Man Stakes and a distance race at 2000M and above the El Dorado stakes!'

PREVIEW OF RACE 7 BY STARSTATZ RACING

TODAY'S RACE IS WIDE OPEN WITH 5 SERIOUS CONTENDERS BUT THE SCRATCHING OF VALEVOLE WOULD HELP THE CAUSE OF EMERALD HILL WHO WILL BE HELPED BY THE EXPECTED SLOW PACE AND THE SHORT COURSE HOME STRAIGHT! I am now hedging my bets as Martincho Cat is only 4th in my  list of my trackwatchers' reports. i AM NOW SWITCHING TO EMERALD HILL ( slow pace and short straight and he will win if he gets the rails run!)FOR THE SELECTION BY STARSTATZ RACING BUT I FANCY AN OPEN RACE WITH EQUAL CHANCES WITH 2 AND 5 AND 8 FIGHTING IT OUT FOR THE WINNER'S LAUREL!

Martincho Cat (untested over turf) and Masthead have the best HR in this race followed by by 9-2-5 among the in form contenders but the expected slow pace will be unfavourable but he has a serious chance if the pace is fast and furiousbut hos poor strike rate pales on comparison to Emerald Hill at 71.43% and El Milagro at 46.67% who did an impressive Barrier trial at 60.1seconds by 3 lengths winning unextended but his HR is weaker than the rest as he is up in the Handicap Ratings !

If Martincho Cat saddles up on turf he could follow alongside Emerald Hill and find cover in his slipstream at the 1st turn  Martincho Cat has a HR of 105.1 and an extrapolated SF of 1:8.73 and has the best 1200M Poly sectionals at 47.238 compared to Emerald Hill at HR 99.97 ...SF at 1:08.933 and sectionals  at 47.314. Masthead is the only proven Turf horse but has a poor strike rate of 12.5% but has the best HR of 105.7...SF on turf actual at 1:09.283 and extrapolated at 1:09.357 and poly sectionals at 47.924.On stats alone as a Turf specialist he is the standout turf horse but I fear he is not as classy as the rest based on strike rates. Makkura is on HR 104.4 ...SF poly at 1:09.133 ...sectionals at 47.688. El Milagro might just win this race alone on his impressive Barrier Trails but his figures are generally weaker than the rest despite hiss favourable middle draw with HR at 99.5 SF poly at 1:09.643 and sectionals at 47.876.

I suggest a token bet on win/place only on EMERALD HILLand a 5 horse box if you have the budget for tierce and quartet on 2-5-8-7-9  and add optional on 10-12  in order at to make the top7. . Try for forecast/place forecast box on 2#5#8 . Keep your serious moolah inveatments for Sunday on Better Life who races well when fresh with the handicap ratings in her favour!

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
After seeing how Dubai Racing Authorities run their Dubai World Cup ( Racing ) I hope STC executives will be inspired to see what improvements they can make for Singapore Racing to make it a World Racing Centre( which they are not now.....but can aspire to) . A glaring omission of Singapore Racing which we can see in Dubai is the use of Speed Maps to analyse the races on TV as part of the race analysis.The other cute aspect I would like to see for the Singapore Airlines Festival is to see ex jockey Andrew Frost get on a horse and do immediate post- race interviews with winning jockeys on horseback!

An example of what is currently amiss wwith Singapore racing is the performance of Singapore Nap in Race 5 with the selections in order of 9-8-4-7-1-2-5 which only struck the tierce one banker and choosing 2 out of 3 key horses on the 2nd line only after weights are known when Travertime came out fat with a 6kg increase in weight (19kg more than his winning weight) while Bigdinero came out lean and mean with a 12kg drop(1kg less than his winning weight. In comparison Starstatz Racing with the selections 9-7-4-8-1-3-2vwhich had the luxury of posting after weights are known got the direct forecast of $20 and with a shortlist choice of 2 key horses on the 2nd line and with the observation that Warspirit with a 4 kg drop was only 2kg below his winning weight was included in the top 7. Starstatz Racing was right on target with a direct forecast prediction and struck both the tierce and quartet with a small budget by using One Smart Cat as the lone banker and 7-4 as 2 key horses on the 2nd line and the remaining 6 horses on the 3rd line struck the tierce of $151 with a economical budget of $20 and the quartet of $672 with a budget of only $80. I am sure most of our media Tipsters would not have overlooked Bigdinero if they had known the weights of both Travertime (bad weight ) and the favourable weight of Bigdinero and Warspirit as well. Even a true late mail after weights are out and condition in paddock is known the late mail will achieve much much better results!.If bodyweights of horses are known when Media Tipsters make their selections more winners will be created. Anyway if STC does not act on the early release of body weight information of horses than I can only chuckle as I will reap the benefits together with my followers on my SMS list and have an unfair advantage over the market with a True Late Mail Service!
Another bugbear I have is with Racing Guide when they put all (how does this help the shortlist and selection process) the horses in Racing Guide form column with a one star rating. I can understand the point that all the horses are in good form iIf this is so I think they should raise the bar and identify a shortlist of horses to cut down the field and indicate 2 or 3 stars on the better form horses in the same manner that I usually shortlist my usual top 7 selections on Singapore Nap and even a lone banker and 2 key horses most o f the time! You do not expect the investor to play the entire field for exotic bets which will be an expensive proposition!
In the BIG RACE CHALLENGE BMW is in the lead with 11 wins from 27 selections for a 40.74% strike rate Ma Chao is 2nd with 10 wins10 wins for a 37.04% strike rate and Mr X and Starstatz Racing (my Flagship blog) are in joint 3rd with 8 wins for a 33.33% strike rate. Singapore Nap,Hui Liang, Ronnie and Zheng Qiang are in joint 5th with 7 wins for a 29.62% strike rate!
PREVIEW OF RACE 9 FOR STARSTATZ RACING (PLEASE NOTE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM SINGAPORE NAP)
Huka Falls is a shoo-in with a massive 22 points advantage over his nearest rival in CR points!.I shall not dwell too much due to time constraints but my selections in order are 1-2-5-8-9-7-4. Use 1 as the lone banker and 2-5(forecast and place forecast with 1#2-5) as the 2 joint key horses on the 2nd line! and 2-5-8-9-7-4 on the 3rd and 4th lines !

PREVIEW OF RACE 10 FOR STARSTATZ RACING (PLEASE NOTE SLIGHLY DIFFERENT FROM SINGAPORE NAP)
Flax actually has a 2 HR point advantage over What Now and also has a good 1st up record of 3 wins from 4 1st up starts and will try to lead all the way with a one length further advantage as What Now will have to track behind him in the box seat or go 2 wide all the way! What Now has a better SF and sectional times compared to Flax but both will do equally well if it rains . Martin is better noted as a miler /stayer but I think he can surprise and make the top 4 cut as he has the 3rd best sectionals and a favourable handicap as well.

 SELECTIONS FOR SINGAPORE NAP....PLEASE NOTE TYPO ERROR DUE REPEAT OF SELECTION OF 6 SO I HAVE REPLICATED THE CORRECT TEXT ON SINGAPORE NAP ON THIS BLOG. In order my selections for SINGAPORE NAP are 4-2-6-1-12-10-3. (drop the 3 due to budget considerations! if you use 4 and 2 as joint bankers as recommended. Use 4-2-6-1 as key horses on the 2nd line and all the top 6 selections on the 3rd and 4th lines.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
I am very frustrated that Racing Guide for all their new innovations on their "Trial and Trackwork Table" cannot even see fit to put up their own tally and keep track of their own personal scores in their race book Publication! I know for the past couple of seasons for the full card Challenge they have been streets ahead of their arch rival race book publication Punters Way where number of wins are concerned culminating in Racing Guide getting the official contract for the STC Race Day Programme. Anyway Xiu Fang is still in the lead in the full card Challenge with 79 wins while Ma Hui the STC Mandarin Race Presenter is hot on her heels with 78 wins and I guess Racing Guide are in 3rd and Mr X is in 4th with 75 wins and Tan Thean Loon makes the top 5 with 72 wins. Kudos go to Andrew Frost in not just getting the winner on Flying Fulton right but the top 4 correct as well albeit in a slighly different order. .Singapore Nap was only a replication on Startstatz racing website due to the fact we missed the
posting dateline due to a software glitch Starstatz Racing had identical selection and we were a tad behind Andrew in accuracy but we gave the almost perfect advice with win/place play of Flying which paid a double digit dividend of $16/$9 as we had predict ed and ending up as 2nd favourite eventually. Our forecast tip play of 1#7-4 paid off with an investment of $4 for a return of $11. we mention the horses in order as 1-7-4-2-6-8 but those who have some experience would have eliminated 8 as being overweight. We mention that number 7 Deep Pockets might be disadvantaged by the slow pace despite having the n2nnd best handicap panned out as we had mentioned and the slow pace suited 6 to the tee who dropped in for 3rd eventually. We mentioned using one banker number 1 and 2 key horses 7 and 4 for the 2nd line and 7-4-2-6-8 on the 3rd and 4th lines and eventually dropping 8 for being fat we would have invested a mere $12 for 1/7-4/7-4-2-6 and a mere $24 for the combination of 1/7-4/7-4-26/7-4-2-6 the quartet investment for a return of $130 for the tierce and $386 for the quartet . Even if you had not dropped the 8 due to inexperience the investment would have been $20 for the tierce $80 for the quartet.
In the BIG RACE CHALLENGE BMW is in a slim lead with 11 wins(44% strike rate) from 25 selections while Ma Chao is 2nd with 10 wins (40% strike rate) from 25 selections. In joint 3rd are my Flagship blog Starsrastatz Racing and and Mr X with 8 wins for a 32% strike rate and Singapore nap together with Hui Liang , Ronnie and Zheng Qiang are in joint 5th with a 28% strike rate.

PREVIEW OF RACE 5
The pace will be good with 3-9-2 leading the trio of front runners and 9 has to be careful not to be caught 3 wide without cover but seek to find cover one or two of the rails. ( has a suerior HR.SF and sectionals compared to 9 and should get his revenge with the weight reversal to his advantage now. There will be slight danger fro 4 and 7 provided they both have a drop in weight and are at their best.If they remain obese than the forecast of 9 and 8 looks very good in scoring!.In order my selections are 9-7-4-8-1-3-2. ( NOTE CHANGE IN SELECTIONS FROM SINGAPORE NAP). Use 9 as the sole banker on the 1st line and 7-4 on the 2nd line with 7-4-8--1-2-5 n the remaining 3rd and 4th lines for the tierce and quartet betting and use 9#8-4-7-1-2-5and all 6 numbers in the 2nd/3rd and 4th lines if you have a big budget as a cover bet! Use 9#7=4 .. 7 has the potential to beat this field with best HR and best sectionals and his body weight is close to his winning weight!

PREVIEWOF RACE 8
The pace will be good for Race 8 with 7-1-8 leading the front runners. WIth Moreira taking the rideon Good Loouken the Group 3 winner from Argentina there will be cause for concern for Empire Bay.
In order my selections are 7-10-8-1-2-6-11.( note change in selections from Singapore Nap!)
Use 7 as the sole banker and play 7#8#10 for the forecast and place forecast and use 10--8 as key horses on the 2nd line. and 10-8-1-2-6-11 as the remaining horses on the 3rd and 4th lines

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

BMW still leads the Big Race Challege with 10 wins from 24 selections for a 41.67% strike rate while
Ma Chao is on 2nd with 9 wins for a 37.5% strike rate and Mr X are on joint 3rd with 7 wins for a 29.17% strike rate. Singapore Nap are with a host of others like Tan Thean Loon ,Hui Liang ,Lao Wang , Zheng Qiang and Ronnie on 6 wins for a 25% strike rate as pre - race Media favourites continue to fall like 10 pins WITH ONLY 4 1ST FAVOURITES OBLIGING SO FAR THIS SEASON! I expect pre-race favourite Lizarre to suffer the same fate.

PREVIEW OF RACE
I expect the pace to be slow with 6-8 the only 2 front runners in this race and because of this one of these 2 might break into the top 4. If the Trainers have all prepared their charges to be in their best possible condition the tierce/quartet for this race is possible with a direct hit or low budget outlay in investment.

In order of ratings they top 6 are 1 at HR 105.5....7 at HR107.125,,,,2 at HR104.27.....4 at HR 103.46....6 at 101.36....8 at HR99.97...5 at HR97 and 2 at HR88,8....The top 4 looks settled and dusted but the slow pace will help the cause of the front running duo of 6 and 8. There is a possibility of an upset if it rains as that will favour the horses in front. Moreira should have been warned for Flying Fulton's dismal performance in his last run when he took FF towards the rear when the pace was very slow and did not take advantage of his inside draw and kept FF at the rear causing FF to lose precious lengths going wide - out at the home turn!.

i SUGGEST PLAYING A BIG BET ON WIN/PLACE WITH FF and a big bet on forecast/place forecast with 1#7-4 as there are douts whether 2 can take the extra 200M as he has not won at this race distance in the past! Use 1 as the lone banker and 7-4 as key horses on the 2nd line and use the remaining and 7-4 on the 3rd and 4th lines!

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In the Big Race Challenge BMW is in an uncontested lead with 10 wins fron 23 selections for 43.48% strike rate while Ma Chao is 2nd with 8 wins from 23 selections for 34.78% strike rate. My Flagship blog Starstatz Racing is on 7 wins from 23 selections or a 30.43% strike rate. Tan Thean Loon , Lao Wang, Mr X and Singapore Nap are on 6 wins from 23 selections for a strike rate of 26.09% strike rate.

PREVIEW OF RACE
This is a wide open race with 4 candidates likely to be involved in a blanket finish . They are in order of merit 10-5-8-4 The pace will be good will be good to fast wth 2-3 front runners in the mix with 9 -7 leading the way followed by on pace runners 12 and 6.

The HR compaison is in order  at  ,10 at 83.13,5 at 82.03 , and 8 at 83.3 and 4 at 75.4.Despite his humble Malaysian background Fiesty Leo is easily the Class act in this race with a 50% strike rate and has a good 1st up record altough he has drawn wide but his off pace style means the draw will have minimal imact on his chances but there is a query on its fitness with a break of 3 months.The selections in order are 10-5-8-4-1-2-7.

I suggest a medium bet on win place on 10 but a big bet on forecast / place forecast on a 3 way box on 10#5#8. I suggest skip the other exotics but if you must be use 10 as the lone banker and 5-8 as the key horses on the 2nd line and 5-8-4 on the 3rd line and put the remaining 6 horses on the 4th line for quartet and or box all the remaining 6 horses on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th lines if you do have a big budget.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

I believe that VB (value bet was the only Media Tipster in the market who scored on Speedy Cat on Friday . Even my Flagship blogs got it wrong when the pace turn out to be hot instead of good to fast (this phenomenon took place) as all the front runners and on pace runners compounded in the straight!

This is why STC should follow the example of HKGJC website by providing a professionally done Speed Map on its website since no local race publication is having this offering....at best we have Racing Guide providing this service in an abridged version. Most Media Tipsters did not even have Speedy Cat in their top 4 and most track watchers including ours missed the

good form of Speedy Cat in track work. Although Singapore Nap and Starstatz Racing and BMW went for the top 2 favourites VB saw the possibililty of a fast pace favoring the polytrack specialist Speedy Cat who at last achieved his early promising horse rating but he will never trouble Super Easy Huka Falls or Emerald Hill on the turf suin WFA races. STC should see to it that user friendly crafted handicap data like handicap ratings and sectional times(1st 400M and last 400M) are made available to the racing public to have a fighting chance of finding the winners and let racegoers wean their dependence on timings to analyse races and follow Tipsters blindly as Media Tipsters have to tip early and are disadvantaged with last minute change in conditions like horse withdrawal , jockey change , changing weather conditions or change i running style. It is not that such expertise is not available in the market as we have duly shown. STC are not obligated to secure my services but surely there are others with similar expertise in the market.If this void and status quo is still stagnant after the next 3 years and Top Executives are still sitting pretty with no new initiatives then I believe new blood should be brought in and there should be a changing of the guard with a more positive and reformist outlook. I cant do anything to change the dogged old school mindset of business as usual but I can certainly write a book on handicapping and the ills impeding growth in the horseracing industry. Yes there have been improvements and progress in the past few years like Racing Guide breaking the stranglehold of Punters Way after all these years as the official race programme, the introduction of Advance Race Win and the appointment of a manager to look after the interests of Owners but what about the ordinary racegoer...the lifeblood of racing. There have been a few other initiatives as well but these are few and far between compared to a need for a professionally crafted Sped Map and Handicap Ratings and sectionals that can be actually be used. What is the use of Punters Way 300M , 400M (sometimes by Luck they get it right!) 500M, 600M, 700M ,800M opening sectionals. I hope a reader or even Punters way themselves can tell me how they used it to decide on the winner as we have masterfully shown in the example of Great Light having the best sectionals compared to Texan Takeover the pre-race favourite with the wide barrier draw the only negative. What is the use of having Trackus when only the elite Trainers who know (i doubt all Trainers have this knowledge) how to use it together with knowledgable Media Tipsters like myself. I doubt if any Mandarin Tipster is using sectionals in their work as there are no(to the best of my knowledge) Mandarin Publications on the use of sectionals. Trackus is now an expensive, glorified white elephant showpiece which only a minority is using right now! More can be done to promote the understanding and use of sectional times in helping to select winners! In the meantime i will revel in the advanatge i have over the average racegoer and enjoy the benefits until STC makes radical changes instead of their current complacent stance of inertia!

I have given feedback to STC months ago on a couple of initiatives but I have yet to see any positive response to my recommendations or any reaction and reasons why they are unable to make these improvements .

One of the bug bears can be seen to have a negative effect on today's race.....the publishing of body weights of horses 2 days before race day following the example of HKG or at the very least have it all ready for the full card 2-3 hours before the start of race 1. Good Loouken has been reported as outclassed as reported on Track Talk but i think they have missed his Group 3 win in Argentina but I agree he is disadvantaged by the terms of the race as he is running 1kg underscaled. He showed up in his last run underweight by 12-14 kg and will probably run unplaced if his weight remains at 500kg but with his superior HR and Group 3 win under his belt he will be a lively longshot if his body weight goes up by double digits but this information is currently not available at start of races. Is it fair for racegoers to make advance roll-win bets when this vital and crucial data is not made available at the start of Race 1.Imagine I have winners in my 1st 2 legs and I want to cancel my bet on Good Loouken when his weight comes up short. I tell the tellers I want to cancel my "live" bet but I am turned down...STC is opening itself up to a potential lawsuit when full data is not provided at time of bets being placed!

STC should introduce a proper Late Mail Service after weights and conditions of horses in paddock are known and somebody like Andrew Frost could helm this service and change his selections after this information is known under the monicker of Late Mail Service instead of being stuck with his Newpaper selection. A good recent example of this anomaly is the posting of Super Shadow coming in at double digit underweight! I strongly urge STC to review this weighty problem and at least have it available before start of races by a good 2-3 hours if possible!

We can never call ourselves a premier Racing Centre if most of these initiatives are not put into place to close the gap on HKGJC standards as I do believe a more knowledgable race goer will lead to more winners leading to a greater turnover in betting !

In the BIG RACE CHALLENGE BMW is still in the lead with 10 wins from 22 selections for a 45.45% strike rate and Starstatz Racing is on 7 wins from 22 selections for a 31.82% strike rate with a host of tipsters including Singapore Nap on joint 3rd with 6 wins from 22 selections 27.27 % strike rate. The tipsters are Mr X , Ma Chao and Lao Wang. If my tally for any of the Media Tipsters is incorrect do drop me a line at www.insiders111@yahoo.com.sg

PREVIEW OF RACE
With an expected fast pace with 4 front runners fighting for the rails run the only threat to The Rude Warrior
winning this race is the unknown body weight factor of Good Loouken . If his body weight goes up by 10 to 14 kg he will be a clear and present danger to The Rude Warrior (TRW)bagging this race as Good Loouken (GL) has the best HR in this race and The Rude Warrior has the 2nd best HR figures. Do note that Good Loouken won at CR 67 carrying 53.5kg albeit at the shorter 1100M Polytrack distance which puts him at HR 88 compared to TRW at 87.31. Moreover GL has a Group 3 win under his belt and has 5 wins from 25 races for a 20% strike rte compared to TRW at 4 wins from 21 races for a 19.05% strike rate. Although GL has not won at 1600M previously his pedigree suggest that the mile is not a problem at all and the expected fast pace will work in his favour and the booking of 50kg Vorster means that GL will
not run overweight. Let us examine his pedigree to assess his suitability over the mile. His USA Sire Easing Along has won from 1400M - 1600M and his progeny have won Group 1 races and his Sire Storm Cat is a World Class Champion Sire of Group 1 winners. Easing Along himself is by an Alydar (2000M stayer) dam and one of his dams Relaxing through his bloodline is by Champion stayer Buckpasser and another Dam Terulinga is by Triple Crown Winner Secretariat. Take note that GL has been doing a lot of canters on trackwork culminating in the best workout of 35,8 seconds last week and typical of the wily Leticia Dragon his trackwork is rather low key and off the radar for this week. The decisive factor will be his body weight on race day and I will upgrade him to 1st pick in a heartbeat if he is within his prime bodyweight!

Lacking this vital piece of information I will not hesitate to pick TRW as a special as the expected fast pace will suit him to a Tee. He has lost to horses like Illiminado and Ready To Strike but the HR figures are in his favour today and he had excuses with blocked runs and he was queried for his last performance where he changed his racing style to jump last in a closer style and only got going at the 300M when Illiminado was home and dusted.Looking at the HR statistics 3.5 kg adjustment is not enough to compensate for a $ length loss but I believe TRW has a lot more to offer to offer as I saw in the race video that TRW was full of running despite Santana sitting quietly at the 1st trun and even Matt Jones commented that Santana was not riding aggresively as he normally does in a more forward position. The HR of 3 is is HR 80 and 1 ia st 79.35 so TRW should have the edge. There is some doubt about TRW's ability to handle the shorter mile as his wins wins have all come over longer distances as his Sire Kempinsky by Danehill shows stamina and his Dam Tristalove carry carries the Sir Tristram Damsire bloodlines but his Damsire is by Encosta De Lago has enough speed to compensate for his stamina influence and with barrier 5 today he is in an ideal position to run an on pace race to overwhelm the 4 front runners(1-4-6-5) in the home straight with 7 tracking them closely.

In order my selections are 3-7-1-8-6-5-2 However be prepared to upgrade 8 to 1st and 2nd in the exotic bets if his body weight comes up right! In the meantime use 7 as the sole banker (with a proviso to upgrade 8) and 3-1 as key horses on the 2nd line and use the remaining 3-1-2-6-8 on the 3rd and 4th lines. Use 7#3-1 but be prepared to replaced with 7#8#3 if 8 turns up with double digit increase in weight , Play a big bet on 7 each way and be prepared to drop place betting and do a Dutch cover bet on 8 if his body weight comes up right!

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
If a horse like Beau Brummel ( no offence to the Owner or Trainer) who won a minor stakes race could be remembered with a namesake race I wonder if Benny Ortega could be honoured and remembered with a similar Memorial Race. I hope the STC will honour a great Man who has given a breath of fresh air with his witty insights on racing through his write ups in Racing Guide and his contribution to improve the racegoers ' education in horse racing through Talks conducted at the STC premises at Kranji.

Xiu Fang is leading the full card Challenge with 69 wins (33.01%)strike rate) from 209 races. Racing Guide ( my tip for top honours this season) is breathing down her neck with a 68 win( 32.54% strike rate) tally from maximum while Ma Hui is 3rd with 64 wins ( 30.62% strike rate ) from maximum to be the only ones above the 30% benchmark!. Meanwhile Mr X is in 4th with 62 wins 29.67 % strike rate ) and Tan Thean Loon is in 5th with 60 wins (28.71% strike rate) from maximum.

In the BIg Race Challenge by proxy I am flying Benny's Flag(BMW)...Benny;s Masterclass Wins) high with an impressive (partly by default as I am not allowed to pick 1st favourites) tally of 10 wins from 21 selections for a 47.62% strike rate.

BMW;s ROI is an amazing $270 returns from a $105 investment.for an ROI of 257.14%. As I have reiterated before I will be banking on my Flagship blog Starstatz Racing. who is 2nd on 7 wins from 21 selections for a 33.33% strike rate slightly edging Xiu Fang's strike rate despite a poor start of a single win for the month of January with a 11.11% strike rate My other Blog Singapore Nap is on joint 3rd with 6 wins 30.16% strike rate with a host of others....namely Mr X, Ma Chao and Lao Wang. These strike rates are impressive when you consider that only 4 1st favourites ( Huka Falls X 3 times and only Stepitup have found the winners' circle for a poor strike rate of 19.05 %) for 1st favourite followers. I hope Super Easy can break this vicious cycle of floundering 1st favourites with his high ratings in this Weight For Age race despite his relative inexperience on the Polytrack surface but with a fresh up record of 4 wins from 6 1st up starts I do expect Super Easy ( he is by no means a shoo-in) not to disappoint despite Huka Falls SF and sectionals losing out to Emerald Hill but he has a superior HR(handicap ratings) to Emerald Hill and the wide barrier draw for Emerald Hill will weaken Emerald Hill's chances.

PREVIEW OF RACE
Besides analysing all the handicap data and the credentials of the various contenders(actually 2 serious contenders only)we should look into the look at the off track manoeuvres of Jose Moreira. Is he taking the ride on Super Easy out of obligation, loyalty and support of the owners Joy and Happiness Stables or is it because Moreira has a choice to pick what he thinks is the better horse! I will go with the judgement of Moreira despite the possibility(favourites have been falling like 10 pins in these Big Races so far this season but we hope the stakes money of $200,000 will see a genuine race being run) he could be a " red herring "designed to push the market on Super Easy so that there will be better reward for the dividends of Huka Falls. Based on trackwatcher's report Super Easy was pushed in trial to impress and he rates Huka Falls to be in better form/With this in mind the trend of failed favourites now looks a distinct probability

The pace will will be good to fast with Emerald Hill hassling Huka Falls for the rails run. Both of them if pushed for the rails run might just compound ( and make it easy for Super Easy and the other on pace runners to pick them off) and I expect Emerald Hill to get the coveted rails run with his opening 400M sectionals of 23.95 seconds compared to Huka falls at 24.54 seconds. Valevole will jump 3rd to make the trio of front runners followed by Ghozi , Touch of Gold, Super Easy, Gingerbread Man and Spedy Cat as on pace runners!

With a HR of 119 compared to Huka Falls(running underscaled by 7.5kg ie if true handicap race he would have carried 47.5kg) of 110 the 4 YO champ should put the Prince in waiting (he is the genuine article and not a young upstart!) should be able to account for Huka Falls despite SE's ( Super Easy) relative inexperience on poly and Huka Falls impressive poly figures for SF and sectionals! However judging from the performances of all the Darci Bharna's progeny in Singapore the Polytrack will not pose a problem and he has done well (hard held) in 1000M Polytrack Trials!.There is a possibility of Super Easy missing the board if he has not recovered from his travel exertions overseas but I reckon you can't keep a good horse down and SE and Huka Falls(HF) should bag the forecast spots! THE LATEST UPDATE FROM TRACKWATCHERS REPORT INDICATES 9 TO BE IN BETTER FORM THAN 1!

I am not an expert on condition of horses but even with my untrained eye I could see that Valevole 's coat was shining and muscles looked strapping but his HR figures are weak while Emerald Hill looked off colour and this is confirmed by Andrew Frost leaving Emerald Hill out of the top 4 but the final confirmation can be verified by Emerald Hills body weight on race day and I do expect to drop his body weight in a big way. If he is at hs ideal weight then I suggest to place him on the 3rd and 4th lines.However the track report just in shows Emerald Hill to be in good form to nullify my untrained comments!

In order my selectios are 9-1-4-7-2-8-3...Ghozi has the 2nd best HR after SE but his SF is weak while Valevole has the 3rd best sectionals( but weak HR)  after Emerald Hill and Huka Falls.Use 9 as the sole banker and 1 and 4 -7  on the 2nd line and 3rd lines if on a budget and leave 4-7-2-8-3-3 on the  4th lines. Play 1#9 for forecast big bet  and use 9#4 as a medium bet for forecast and  place forecast. Please note slight change in selection order from Singapore Nap

MY 3 LEG RECOMMENDATION FOR ROLL WIN BET IS RACE 3 NUMBER 4 SUPER SHADOW....RACE 8 NUMBER 5 TEXAN TAKEOVER AND RACE 10 NUMBER 1 GLOWNIGHT RACER

With 5 wins on the board Hui Liang was the top Media Tipster on Friday. Xiu Fang proved she is not yet ready to give up her lead with 4 wins and regained her 1 point lead over Racing Guide who only managed 3 wins. Xiu Fang leads the full card challenge with 66 wins(33.17%) from 199 selections and Racing Guide is probably 2nd with 65 wins for a 32.66% strike rate and Ma Hui is probably 3rd followed by Mr X or Tan Thean Loon.

I stand corrected on my tally for the Big Race Challenge with BMW leading the way with 9 wins from 20 selections for an impressive 45% strike rate and an amazing $270 returns from an investment of $100 for an astonishing 270% ROI.My official Flagship blog Starstatz Racing is on 7 wins (35% strike to compare favourably with Xiu Fang's strike rate) from 20 selections. Singapore Nap is on joint 3rd with Ma Chao and Lao Wang on 6 wins. (30% strike rate) The statisitics do show a direct and fair comparison of oranges and our various Flagship blogs are more than capable of holding their own (at least in big races at this juncture of the season anyway) against the cream of Media/Internet Tipsters in Singapore . If my tally on the leading tipsters in the Big Race Challenge is incorrect do drop me a line on www.insiders111@yahoo.co.sg

PREVIEW OF RACE
Texan Takeover may not be a shoo-in like Super Shadow in Race 3 today but Super Shadow was the last Promising horse tipped and earmarked by late Mentor Benny Ortega and he hinted at Super Shadow"s class in breeding as being better than Super Easy and predicted that Super Shadow will win a Cup race eventually at a forte distance of 1600M to 2000M ,He is merely toying with his opposition at Sprint distances and he will follow the path of Big Easy (Freedman will probably use the same tactics as Laxon as he goes up the grades) and probably do better than Big Easy as he goes up in distance. Super Shadow is not a sprinter type like Super Easy and I will always have a special affinity for him as it is Benny's last legacy to me on horse racing bloodstock analysis.

Let's go back to the business at hand and analyse the winning chances of Texan .Takeover .He is classy with the best win strike rate and does not have the best HR Ratings but he does have the 4th best SF after Bionic Boy (badly drawn) , Birthday Gift (poor form in last 3 runs but training well) and Niceone (poor form in last 4 runs).However a pointer to his chances may be in his sectional which are inferior marginally only to Great Light who has been drawn wide and I assess that Great Light will not get the rails run with 7-8-11-5-3 to contend with and will be caught at least 3 wide if running on pace and more likely will be caught at the rear which may not be a bad move if the pace proves to be fast but if the pace is good or slow it would make it easier for TT(Texan Takeover ) to overcome the maestro Moreira and they should both fight out the finish!/Great Light has sectionals of 23.595/23.346 = 46.941compared to TT at 23.513/23.57 = 47.083 but this is compensated bt TT;s superior barrier draw and will prove decisive in the final equation!.

In order my selections are 5-9-4-3-10-6 (note change in selection order from Singapore Nap with 8 a course scratching) even though there are doubts on the form of horses like 10 and 3 but the bodyweight will be decisive in review before making a final decision on the exotics and be prepared to upgrade or down grade accordingly but the horses drawn wide will have a problem struggling to make the top 4. Use 5 as the sole banker and 9-10 as key horses on the 2nd line with the remaining 9-10-3-8-4-6 on the 3rd and 4th lines. I do expect the tierce/quartet dividend to pay well with a few nasty surprises for punters.Use as cover 5 as lone banker and the remaining 6 selections on the remaining 2nd /3rd and 4th lines in case my prediction of a big payout does blossom as expected!. Use 5#9 as a big bet for forecast/place forecast and cover a medium bet on 5#10 as 5 and 10 both belong to the Freedman Stables and they might do a tag team result to make the dividends go wild and hit the roof!

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Based on track form reportI have upgraded 2 to 2nd pick so the selection order is changed!
With the entire Media Tipster fraternity tipping Huka Falls as their 1st selection Singapore Nap and Starstatz Racing were among a couple of Media Tipsters who got the top 3 right and some were also right on Valevole coming in 4th as well. However most of us missed the direct quartet by putting Captain Obvious ahead of Masthead but the result between the two was reversed with Masthead pipping Captain Obvious for the forecast spot..

The advice we gave in 5 options for betting paid of well with minimal outlay although we did not score a direct fct./.direct tierce or direct quartet but our Trackwatcher had all the 4 horses in the mix with only the order for 2nd and 3rd in the wrong order ! We stated the obvious by recommending a win only bet on Huka Falls which required $5 investment for a return of $7. We did suggest a place only bet on Captain Obvious and Masthead only for a $5 investment each for a respective return of $8 and $10 respectively. Our forecast suggestion of 4#1-8 (investment of $4 ) paid off with a return of $13 and the similar place forecast advisory of 4#1-10 paid a return of $6 and $5 respectively. The trio was an obvious direct hit of $2 investment for a surprisingly rewarding return of $14. The tierce of $38 was only secured with an investment of $20 and the quartet of $93 was achieved with an investment of $80 achieved mediocre success for the comparatively large outlay!

In the Full Card Challenge Racing Guide has fulfilled (at least at this stage of the competition) caught up with Xiu Fang with a 7 win score on Friday and 3 wins last Sunday to be joint leaders on 62 wins(32.63%) from 190 selections .Ma Hui is on 3rd with 59 wins (31.05%) from same and Mr X is on 4th with 56 wins (29.47%) and Tan Thean Loon is on 5th with 54 wins (28.42%)

In the Big Race Challenge BMW is out in front with 8 wins (42.11%) from 19 selections while my flagship blog Starstatz Racing is on 7 wins (36.84%) to compare favourably with the full card challenge strike rates and Singapore Nap is on 6 wins (31.58%) jointly with Ma Chao and Lao Wang proving the the designated Flagship blogs of Singapore Nap are at least on par with the best on an equal comparison of oranges with all the Media Tipsters with Starstatz proving temporarily superior albeit by a soltary win. I re-iterate this point that I never claimed that I am the best on the most consisitent Media Tipster in Singapore but since I started tipping publicly I have always asserted that I am a safe bet for a top 5 spot and a pretty good bet for the top 3 spots compared to the other 27 other Internet and Media Tipsters in Singapore if you include all the Media Tipsters in the Winner21 Challenge, all the Presenter Tipsters in the STC Stable and internet/Print Media Tipsters like HS Chan from Sagacity , Turf Guide and Racing Guide and I have proven it in the past 4 seasons either with emails to all the respective Media Publications or by posting publicly on my respective blogs with blog archives available for inspections with a top 2 strike rate performance since I made my Internet debut in season 2009. Should any Media Publication, Media Tipster or reader dispute my claims do drop me a line at www.insiders111@yahoo.com.sg.

If it is not a hoax our blogs have now been recognised with an official invitation by the National Library Board to join the Singapore Memory Project even though Winner21 has chosen not to recognise people like HS Chan and myself( i wonder what is the difference between Larry Foley and ourselves with the weak excuse that was given) and reputable Publications like Racing Guide through chequered history are still not re-invited to the Challenge and even Ma Hui's sterling work as an STC Media Tipster is shrouded in mystery with no recognition given ( except internally and by this blogger who has to painstakingly tabulate the scores every week) even by STC itself and If I am not mistaken Victory Trail still does not tally their total scores for the season with a regular tally (do drop me an email if I am mistaken as I do not buy VictoryTrail since their error filled debut with no new innovations but giving credit when it is due they have made great strides to improve their grammar and spelling with much improved proof-reading standards!). By not publishing their total tally for the season these Media Tipsters are hiding their overall mediocrity (not every Tipster is performing badly though) .......endorsed by their respective bosses TAKING NO PRIDE IN THEIR WORK WITH ANY ATTEMPT TO ENCOURAGE BETTER PERFORMANCES BY PUBLISHING THIR RESPECTIVE SCORES (mediocre or otherwise). Where is the incentive to improve when mediocre performances are shrouded in anonymity? STC should lead by example by publishing all their Prese's scores and embrace all suitably qualified Internet and Media Tipsters including reputable Publications like Racing Guide and Turf Guide becaude of past history, jealousy and petty rivalry and that is why I recommend STC to take over this portfolio to ensure impartial treatment by the selectors provided stringent but fair standards (timing of posting and cc copies to relevant neutral authority like STC are set for pre-qualification!

PREVIEW OF RACE
Flying Fulton was seen by a condition expert to be in poor form on 15 February but if Mike Walker is the the Top Trainer that I think he is he should be able to bring Flying Fulton back to peak conditions and the favourable terms he is getting for this race is an opportunity not to be missed when he is carrying equal weight compared to the 42.5kg to 52.5 kg they should have been carrying if this was a true handicap race! On the other hand last start impressive winner Black Ice is reputed to be holding his peak for but he did beat FF over the unsuitable Turf surface with 2.5 kg less for a 2.75 length beating over an obviously unfit Flying Fulton If this was a true handicap race Black Ice should be carrying 52.5kg. I expect FF to drop slightly in weight today and turn the tables on Black Ice. Since thetop 3 saddlecloth numbers are well drawn I expect them to fill thetrio and tierce spots and if Lizarre is at his best he should be able to pip Black Ice for the 2nd spot with his superior HR figures but I do advise caution as these figures were pposted over a further distance and Black Ice may not melt so easily to give up 2nd spot!

The entire tipster market has Nandowra firmly cemented for the 4th spot and I reckon that What Now with a good 2nd up record of 1 win and 2 placings from 3 2nd up starts and with Sire having won over 1600M might have a say and by being USA bred the Polytrack should not pose serious problems even though What Now is not proven over both the 1600M and the Polytrack as well but Nandowra flew home in his last run and admittedly did look impressive! I do expect the pace to be slow and on pace runners will do well as 4-2-1-5-8 will lead the way and Lizarre will have to make his move early to secure a placing!

In order my my selections are 1-2-3-4-5 I suggest a more modest budget and omit 6 and 7  (especially 7 and do include 6 if you are looking for value but as a whole I recommend to stick with the top 5 using 1 as the sole banker and 2-3 as key horses on the 2nd line and 2-3-4-5 on the 3rd and 4th lines if on a budget but cover a single ticket with 1#2-3-4-5  for tierce/quartet just in case I am wrong! However under the terms of the race I suggest using 1#2-3 and 1 as the sole banker and 2-3 as key horses on the 2nd line and 1#2-3  for a big forecast bet as there is no place forecast in this race. Bet a big 3 *** bet on win only on Flying Fulton as the Polytrack is his speciality! Try this for a big tierce and quartet bet 1#32-3/2-3-4-5/2-3-4-5 and go for 1#2-3  big bet for the tierce main bet!
