Fortuna has five definite runners Saturday 12th June – four in Singapore plus one on the ballot and one in New Zealand

New Zealand

Beau Geste contests the R65 2200m Amateur Riders race at Trentham Race 4 @1.38pm  – he prepared for this event by racing over 1600m at New Plymouth on Thursday as a lead up into this race – finishing strongly for 6th placing. Scotty McNab takes the mount – won at this trip two starts back, rock hard fit and could be hard to hold out here on the big roomy Trentham track – a definite strong each way chance

Singapore

Our Final Offer makes his race day debut in the Restricted Maiden 1100 Polytrack – Race 2 @ 4.30pm NZT – a very fast racehorse, he has had barrier issues in his trials however and does need to behave himself at the start. He will be ridden by the very experienced Oscar Chavez –  will be a nailbiting time at the start, but if he jumps well he will race up on the speed, can be a top three contender and can win if things go right

The ever consistent Brutus has been freshened and resumes in the Class 4 1100 Polytrack – Race 3 at 5 pm – drawn perfectly with the Ace barrier, he has the talented CC Wong in the saddle and carries just 53 kg here – presents as  a strong top three contender and can definitely win if things go right for him in then run

Marcus Antonius, a last start winner at 1700m in Maiden Grade, gets another attempt at 1700m but this time in Class 5 grade – Race 4 @5.30 and has the services of Singapore champion jockey Vlad Duric – he will get a lovely run from the draw and certainly represents an each way  chance in this event

Entertainer resumes in the Class 4 1100 Polytrack – Race 11 @9pm – the winner of three races in succession before meeting defeat at his last start, he has had a lovely freshen up – a big long striding type who loves to lead, he will go forward from his slightly tricky barrier and take no prisoners in the run –  can certainly win if he gets things all his own way up front

King Arthur is in Race 2 but needs a scratching to get a start – drawn the outside, it will be difficult for him, but has shown plenty of ability in his 3 race day starts and will be storming home at the end
