Inform four-year-old, BINTANG SIXTY-ONE appears on target for a winning hat-trick when he steps out in the 1300m Class 4A contest at Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.
BINTANG SIXTY-ONE debuted with a fast-finishing second over 1020m here on June 9 and has maintained a solid form line since with successive victories over the 1300m journey. The Irish-bred galloper broke the maiden tag in a Class 5 event on June 23 when scoring by 2.25 lengths prior to his last start victory which was even more impressive.
Belying the class rise and betting drift, BINTANG SIXTY-ONE toyed with his rivals with a decisive 3.75 length win from the outside gate. Unbeaten in two appearances over the track and distance, he should prove hard to beat.
Four-year-old LAXON has a chance to double his win tally in the 1200m Open Novice contest this Sunday.
LAXON has been a consistent performer finishing in the top five in each of his nine career starts to date which includes one win and four minor placings. Since winning his maiden by five lengths back in May, the Shane Ellis trained galloper has performed admirably in the two heats of the SLTC 3YO series.
LAXON finished third and fourth respectively in each heat, finishing two lengths behind local rising star Antipodean and will find Sunday’s assignment much more to his liking.
