Golden Monkey has the fortune to win Bowl
Singapore racing continues on Sunday featuring a 12-race turf and dirt fixture. The condition weights of Race 11, the $110,000 Group 3 Fortune Bowl (1400m) on Sunday at Kranji promise an exciting contest. Group 1 winners will shoulder 58kg, Group 2 and 3 winners 56kg, Class 1 winners 54kg, Class 2 and 3 winners 52kg, and those victorious only in Class 4 and below will carry 50kg.
Furthermore, an additional 1kg allowance will be provided to runners who have not secured a victory in their last five starts.
Golden Monkey, with a rating of 102, will carry top weight (58kg) and looks the runner to beat, while stablemate Dream Alliance gets in well on 52kg off a rating of 89.
On a rating-to-weight scale, Super Salute, at 105, looks ideally weighted at 56kg as the highest-rated horse.
The Steven Burridge pair, Invincible Tycoon and Street Of
Dreams, also look well in on 54kg based on their handicap ratings of 94 and 92 respectively.
However, in-form threeyear-old Bestseller, rated at 86, would have to be the 'worst off' on 56kg but is racing on an upward trajectory, while stablemate Rocket Star, rated at 91, carries just 51kg but seems to be well placed.
Elsewhere, three-year-old gelding Mission Five has the potential to secure an early win as he returns to Kranji for the $75,000 Restricted Maiden race over 1200m on turf.
Mission Five had two quiet trials before making his debut early last month. Consequently, it was no surprise to see him go unnoticed in the betting market.
In contrast to his laid-back style in trials, the son of Invader exhibited tactical speed and finished second over 1100m on the Polytrack that day.
Following his debut, Mission Five delivered an impressive trial performance, drawing away to win by 4.50 lengths effortlessly. With the experience of his debut run under his belt, he now stands as a winning contender. - iRACE magazine
