Duric has been booked by trainer Tim Fitzsimmons to ride Relentless in the Group 2 Stewards' Cup on 26 June and the Group 1 Singapore Derby on 17 July. Moor is booked by Fitzsimmons to ride Hero in the Group 2 Stewards' Cup.

Duric, 44, is a four-time Singapore champion jockey who last rode at Kranji in August last year. He finished fifth on the 2021 Singapore Jockeys' Premiership with 28 wins from 149 rides.

The Singapore Permanent Resident first plied his trade at Kranji in 2009, going on to finish second to champion jockey Joao Moreira in 2010 and 2011. He then returned for a five-year stint in 2016, claiming the title from 2017 to 2020.

Currently licensed by Racing Victoria where he has ridden four winners from 21 rides this season, Duric has been riding in races for 29 years and has ridden more than 2000 winners. Besides his Group 1 Caulfield Cup win with Master O'Reilly in 2007, Duric has notched four other Group 1 wins in Australia, including his first Group 1 success in the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes aboard Bon Hoffa in 2007 to his last win in the Group 1 Underwood Stakes aboard Mourinho in 2015 before he moved to Singapore.

Duric has been a major force in the feature races at Kranji as well, with 12 Group 1 wins, five Group 2 wins and 12 Group 3 wins under his belt. His most recent Group 1 wins were the Singapore Derby and Queen Elizabeth II Cup aboard Top Knight, and the Singapore Guineas and Lion City Cup aboard Inferno, all in 2020.

Besides Australia and Singapore, Duric has also ridden in Dubai, England, Macau, Mauritius and New Zealand. He goes to scale at 55kgs.

Moor, 37, rode in Singapore from 2017 to 2020 when he rode a total of 49 winners, including the Group 2 Merlion Trophy with Countofmontecristo and the Group 3 Fortune Bowl with Blizzard, both in 2019.

A former leading Victorian apprentice jockey, Moor boasts more than 950 winners to his name in 19 years of riding. Licensed by Racing Victoria, the Warrnambool-born jockey currently sits in 17th position on 16 winners on the Victorian Metropolitan jockeys' premiership this season.

Shortly after he left Singapore in 2020, he went on to claim his first Group 1 race, the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes with Sierra Sue.

He doubled the dose one week later with Wild Ruler in the Moir Stakes and has since added two more, the Manikato Stakes with Jonker and the Australasian Oaks with Glint Of Hope in South Australia in April this year.

The last one came after he returned from a six-week stay in Hong Kong where he rode two winners from 95 rides.

The well-travelled jockey has also ridden in China, Malaysia, Mauritius, New Zealand and South Korea. Moor goes to scale at 54kgs.
