Singapore racing continues on Saturday (1 April) for an 11-race turf and dirt fixture at Kranji Racecourse.
Highly-promising four-year-old SUPER SALUTE is a standout on the card as he chases a fifth straight win in the $85,000 Class 2 race over 1400m.
SUPER SALUTE, who arrived to Kranji a one-time winner from 15 starts in Australia, has been unstoppable since finishing a luckless fourth on debut in September last year, winning his last four starts in emphatic fashion.
Despite rising to Class 2 for the first time last start, the I Am Invincible gelding utilized his strong turn-of-foot to score by half a length comfortably over 1200m.
Trainer Jason Lim has this year’s Four-Year-Old series in mind for SUPER SALUTE and as the up-and-comer matures, stepping up to 1400m shouldn’t be a problem for him now and he looks on track to continue his winning ways.
Elsewhere, promising three-year-old ARYA PAKUAN looks on track to shed his maiden tag when he contests the $75,000 Restricted Maiden race over 1200m on turf.
ARYA PAKUAN caught the eye with a fast-finishing third in a slowly-run race on debut in late February before going one place better last time out. Jumping awkwardly and losing considerable ground early, the Sebring gelding had to be hard ridden to get in touch with the field, before charging home strongly to check 1.25 lengths into second over this track and distance.
Getting the services of champion jockey Manoel Nunes is a big plus for ARYA PAKUAN this week and from a decent draw, he should endure an ideal trip and can prove hard to hold out third-up.
