Turf concern for Balmont Mast Eddie Lynam's big concern over Balmont Mast is whether his raider can adjust to a return to turf in Sunday's KrisFlyer International Sprint. The five-year-old has arrived in Singapore on the back of a busy stint at the Dubai Carnival, where he produced a handful of respectable runs on the Tapeta, concluding with a narrow second in the Golden Shaheen. He has only won once on grass before, in a Navan maiden in 2011, and has specialised on the Dundalk Polytrack. "He's travelled very well here and lost around 10kg, which is not much as he was already 7kg overweight before we came, just to allow for the weight loss," said Lynam. "We'll probably have some light exercise tomorrow, and maybe have a blow on grass the day before the race - just some strong canter. "All's good with him, but the only question mark is whether he will handle the grass here as most of his racing has been on the all-weather and he ran second in the Golden Shaheen on Tapeta. "But the good news is he likes going around bends and the KrisFlyer has two bends. There are only 11 horses and I won't be greedy. A nice draw would be anything between 1 and 6."
