MARINA BAY, Singapore -- Last years Singapore Grand Prix winner Sebastian Vettel believes the odds are stacked against a repeat result this weekend, saying Mercedes remain the favourites for victory.Vettels win 12 months still stands as Ferraris most recent victory in F1 and came on a weekend when Mercedes experienced an unusual dip in form. Since then Ferrari has dropped into a battle for second place in the constructors championship with Red Bull, while Mercedes has not suffered the same problems at any other circuit.Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff believes the result 12 months ago means his team is not the favourite to win in Singapore on Sunday, but Vettel disagrees.This track was very good for us last year and I think in general we improved the car from last year so it should be a raceable track for us again, he said. Its difficult to know exactly [where we will be] but in general you have to put Mercedes as the favourite -- even though they had a very difficult time here last time, there is no guarantee that it will happen again.If there is trouble [for Mercedes] then I think everybody else is happy to take advantage, but looking at it ahead of the race they are the favourites. For tyres and strategy in general, it depends what happens in the race with safety cars etcetera. In qualifying its clear that you will try to go as far as you can, but the race you depend on what tyres you have left and also on the safety car.But Vettel says his 12-month victory drought has not changed his approach to racing.In the end Im here to win and that might sound optimistic, but there is always a chance, he said. You never know what happens, maybe you start fifth and the first four guys crash at the first corner and you are handed a chance. Its not highly likely, but its possible.Otherwise it would be, as a matter of fact, quite boring to sit here on Thursday and talk about a race where the result is already decided. Its part of the sport and the race for us inside the car and for the people watching that we dont know whats going to happen. Ed Healey Jersey .

Romneys Choices last-start second as favourite in a Class Four race at Hawkesbury is looking a lot better now with the winner, Circular, backing up her win with success in the Goulburn Cup.Trainer Noel Mayfield-Smith will bring Romneys Choice from Hawkesbury to Rosehill on Saturday confident she can be a force in a benchmark 78 race over 1500 metres.She will be accompanied by Unequivocal who ran second to another stablemate, Group One winner Famous Seamus, in the Ladies Day Cup at the Hawkesbury meeting on November 3.Romneys Choice will come to town as will Unequivocal, Mayfield-Smith said.It looks as of the form from Romneys Choices last race will stand up. The first three came away from the others.Reiby Red, who finished third, won a 1600m-race at Warwick Farm last Wednesday by almost five lengths while Sundays Goulburn Cup was over the same distance.Unequivocal will run in the benchmark 93 over 11400m.ddddddddddddShe looks better now than she did before her last race, Mayfield-Smith said.As long as she goes well again she might go to Brisbane for a Listed race over 1300 metres at Eagle Farm a couple of weeks later.After his win in the Listed Ladies Day Cup (1400m), Famous Seamus returned to Melbourne to try to defend the Group Three Kevin Heffernan Stakes (1300m).He finished ninth and his trainer is accepting the blame.It was trainer error, Mayfield-Smith said.I backed him up too quickly and took him back in distance.Every jockey who has ridden him says he is ready to step up in distance.Famous Seamus will do just that at his next start in the Festival Stakes (1500m) on Saturday week with a view to starting in the Group Two Villiers Stakes over the Randwick mile.
