The 2YO Burgundy gelding has had two starts to date in Singapore but Sunday night will see him make his raceday debut for the stable. With two fourth placings to date from his two appearances, BURKAAN is a 2YO who is very capable of beating the older horses in this. Winning a trail against the older horses at his latest appearance on the 5th June. He will be partnered by the second leading apprentice in Singapore at the moment in CC Wong who will claim 1kg. BURKAAN has come up with barrier nine of 14, carrying 48.5kg. BURKAAN has had the two starts so far with his last start effort a brave front running performance which saw him only captured late to finish 4th. Since he has joined the stable his work has been nothing but pleasing, Donna thinks he is capable of keeping his handy record intact, being a strong place chance. BURKAAN trial win (5 June):https://bit.ly/2Jx4ii1 R4 – No. 14 WHAKAARIA MAI – Alysha Collett WHAKAARIA MAI is entered to run in a Restricted Maiden 1600m ($85,000) on the turf short course.

He was among the first shipment of Logan Racing runners to arrive in Singapore and was in fact the stables first ever starter in Singapore. WHAKAARIA MAI is currently the 2nd emergency in the race and should he make the field he will jump from barrier six of 14, carrying 57kg, where the in-form expat New Zealander, Alysha Collett takes the reigns. WHAKAARIA MAI is a very promising type of horse that Donna expects to go a much-improved race stepping up to the 1600m, he is very capable of going a bold race.
