Kuala Lumpur, 01 November 2024

Only seven races take place on Saturday at the Selangor Turf Club and the runner that stands out by some margin as the best bet on the program, is Lim’s Craft in race 3. A second on his local debut was shortly followed up by a comfortable victory by 6 1/4 lengths. He does meet a tougher field here with the likes of Montana Flash who won his last start as well as One Abracadabra who has won two of his last three starts. However, with natural improvement to come in Malaysia, a chance is taken on Lim’s Craft to win again.

Three more ex-Singapore gallopers, who have already won in the country, will be stepping out on Saturday which includes The Star in race 4 as well as Buuraq Sixty-One in race 5 and Good Chilli to close off the meeting in race 7. The Star won on his local debut appearance last month when winning by a short head. It was a gutsy win fighting off Race For Fame and he can follow up here. Buuraq Sixty-One finished well back on his local debut but turned the form around in his next start when winning by just over a length. He should be good enough to contest the finish again and possibly make it back-to-back wins. Good Chilli is unbeaten in Malaysia so far having won two from two. He meets Digging Eight again with a weight turnaround in favour of Digging Eight, but the manor in which Good Chilli is improving, he still should have the beating of his rivals.
