An impressive maiden campaign leaves the David Kok trained Major Advancement well placed to return a winner at Kranji this evening.

An impressive debut winner, Major Advancement lived up to his eye-catching barrier trials when making light work of his rivals.

Ridden by Glen Boss, Major Advancement had to overcome a few obstacles when caught in behind runners on straightening.

Eased to the outside approaching the 200m, Major Advancement let down powerfully to quickly hit the front, drawing away for an easy win.

Marked well above an average maiden winner, Major Advancement also recorded time figures ahead of the bare form and stamped himself as one to follow — adding to that, Major Advancement beat home two subsequent winners.

Sent out the $1.60 favourite at his next outing, Major Advancement was left found wanting when no match for the James Peters trained Royal Easter.

On the surface he was disappointing, however it is never easy for horses to make the jump from maiden grade to Class 4 company and he is sure to derive good benefit from that experience.

Due to contest the final event, Major Advancement concedes race experience to a majority of his rivals, however he looks to be loaded with ability.

Given two soft trials in the lead up, Major Advancement looks to be flying and is sure to make his presence felt.

When assessing Timeform weight adjusted ratings, Major Advancement sits clear and should prove very hard to beat.

The James Peters trained Macarthur drops back noticeably in grade after being safely held in the Group 2 Singapore 3YO Classic last start.

A winner of three of his 11 starts, Macarthur is certainly more than capable and is sure to appreciate this lesser company.

The drop back to 1200m should also aid his chances, from seven attempts Macarthur has placed in five.

Although receiving no favours with the draw, Duric is expected to press forward and he should prove hard to get past in the straight.

The Stephen Burridge trained Eclipse Splash creates plenty of interest in his Singapore debut having won impressively in his sole performance in Malaysia.

Saluting by six lengths, Eclipse Splash clearly possesses good ability and while this is a good step up, he has trialled well and remains under strong notice.

From the inside draw he shouldn't be far away and has to be kept safe with Harry Kasim aboard.

Of the rest the Bruce Marsh trained Chariots Of Fire appears the next in line.

While failing to first up behind Darc Bounty, he appears better suited in this event and rates well on best form.

Alan Munro links aboard for the first time and he has to be kept safe.

Good luck and happy punting.
