KRANJI   30 Mar 2024
 
GOING: G

CLASS 2 1600m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 31)    

Abundant early pressure from the speedy pair Fame Star and Mr Black Back. MAKIN (8) is a speedy type in great form, winning last two. Up in grade but attractively weighted and will take catching again. DREAM ALLIANCE (2) turned in an eye catching run over 1600m in the SGG3 Committee's Prize last time. Bruno Viana Queiroz who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Fitter and ready to win. Hard to beat this easier class. Group 2 placegetter MR BLACK BACK (3) comes here off a last-start sixth, beaten 3 lengths, in the same race as Dream Alliance. Everything points to another big run in this lesser grade. LIM'S BESTBREAKER (11) hasn't raced since a win at Kranji All Weather over 1600m four weeks ago. Kept ticking over with a recent trial at Kranji. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Makin with the light weight.
