Robert Priscott wishes the $S3 million Singapore International Cup was being run today and not at the weekend.
Priscott's top mare, Hill Of Grace, landed in intense heat in Singapore late on Sunday night.
"It's 33 degrees high and 25 degrees low and very sticky at the moment," said Priscott yesterday.
"And it's about 90 per cent humidity.
Priscott said he was pleased Hill Of Grace had done all her serious training before leaving New Zealand.
This meant he would not have to do anything with her before the race.
"The horses certainly had a good sweat up in the heat at the track this morning.
"Depending on how she does in the next 36 hours, I might give her a quiet run up the home straight on Wednesday or Thursday morning."
Hill Of Grace will be ridden in the 2000m race by Sydney jockey Corey Brown.
