Singapore Racing - Weekend Review - 30th of April & 1st of May

The Ricardo Le Grange trained Time Odyssey proved far too good on Sunday evening and was one of the stand-out performances of the weekend.

A narrow winner over the mile three back, Time Odyssey then proved game finishing fourth in Group 3 Moonbeam Vase [1800m], before spacing his rivals in the sixth event.

This highest rated winner on Sunday, Time Odyssey has been a real model of consistency and clearly appreciated getting back onto the polytrack.

Time Odyssey

In 10 attempts, Time Odyssey has notched up six wins and two minor placings.

Ridden by Barend Vorster, Time Odyssey began well to eventually settle second behind the Desmond Koh trained Order Of The Sun.

Travelling well into the straight, Time Odyssey pulled his way to the lead approaching the 400m, before let rip inside the 300m.

Displaying a good turn of foot, Time Odyssey quickly drew clear and raced away for a very soft win.

Saluting by three lengths, Time Odyssey was marked up to his career peak and is clearly racing in great form.

He is undoubtedly a polytrack specialist and I'm sure Le Grange will be trying his best to keep him on the all-weather surface whenever he can.

The Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Cup [1800m] appears his next likely target and while a step up in grade, he is already Group 1 placed (2016 - Singapore Gold Cup).

Although a rising six-year-old, Time Odyssey continues to race in great order and is one worth following, especially when he lines up on the polytrack.

Song To The Moon

Out of the same event, stablemate Song To The Moon found the line well and remains on-track for the Group 1 Singapore Derby [2000m].

An impressive winner four starts back, Song To The Moon looks to be progressing nicely, with his poor performance behind Nazir now well and truly behind him.

A winner of five of his 13 starts in Singapore, Song To The Moon is certainly a promising stayer and is another galloper worth sticking with.

Walking Thunder

On Monday the Dan Meagher trained Walking Thunder easily accounted for his rivals in the opening event and is a galloper of good promise.

Stepping out on debut in January, Walking Thunder displayed good ability when finishing second behind Forever Young.

Given plenty of time (113 days) following that performance, Walking Thunder trialled very well in the lead up and proceeded to justify his heavy market support ($1.20).

Ridden by Danny Beasley, Walking Thunder always appeared in firm control, settling just off the speed in second.

Under a vice like grip entering the straight, Walking Thunder quickly ambled up to the lead before taking over shortly after.

Cut loose passing the 200m, Walking Thunder's response was immediate, dropping his rivals and racing away to score by 3.5L.

Admittedly his opposition was fairly limited, however there was still plenty to like and he appears a nice horse moving forward.
