The Cliff Brown trained Mister Yeoh had a break out preparation last time in and creates plenty of interest in his return this evening.
Due to contest the fifth event, Mister Yeoh couldn't have been any impressive in his Singapore debut when spacing his rivals over 1200m.
Sent out the 2-1 favourite, Mister Yeoh simply wasn't suited by the race shape and stuck on gamely to be beaten only 1.8L.
Stepping up to 1400m at his next start, Mister Yeoh proved too good when ridden quieter in the Group 2 Singapore 3YO Classic.Savaging the line to win Mister Yeoh was then sent out favourite in the Group 1 Lion City Cup [1200m].
While clearly no match for Lim's Cruiser, his SP [$3.60] was key and at just his sixth start we are yet to see the best of him.Given the sole trial in the lead up, Mister Yeoh was given an easy time under Michael Rodd and certainly appears well placed down in the weights.
Lining up with only 50.5kg on his back, he is extremely well placed and confident he is clearly the best horse in the race.On best form he has his rivals covered and the fact he gets weight off all bar one of them, it swings the race firmly in his favour.
He is one of the more promising horses in Singapore and should prove very hard to beat.
The James Peters' trained Grand Cross has mixed his form this time in, but is certainly more than capable and has to be respected.He will no doubt appreciate the drop back in grade and with the aid of the claim he gets his chance from the good draw.
The Shane Baertschiger trained Dutrow bounced back to winning form last start and only looks to have to repeat that level of performance to be winning again.While possessing just the three wins to his name from 13 starts, he has placed on a further six occasions and also appears well placed down in the weights.
Matthew Kellady legs back aboard (placed 2/2) and he has to be kept safe.The Alvin Tan trained Robin Hood continues to race well and appears the next in line.
He closed off fairly well behind Curvature last start and while yet to fire at this trip (0/3) and cannot be taken lightly.Good luck and happy punting.
