THE CAPTAIN COMMANDING THE HAT TRICK
SAT 15 OCT
Australian bred gelding, ALLIANCE CAPTAIN has arguably been one of the most progressive gallopers on the Malaysian circuit this year as he aims for the winning hat trick in the 1250m Class 3 contest at Kuala Lumpur on Saturday.
ALLIANCE CAPTAIN has posted five wins from seven starts since making his debut in February as he attempts to keep his perfect Class 3 record in tact.
The four-year-old was successful at his first run in Class 3 company on September 11 when scoring over 1100m before chalking up another win on Track Two over 1175m a fortnight later.
Prepared at Selangor by Ooi Chin Chin, ALLIANCE CAPTAIN appears ideally placed to continue his rapid rise through the grades.

CHEVAL RAPIDE TO STRIKE BACK IN KL
Eight-year-old entire CHEVAL RAPIDE looks set to atone for his last start defeat when he steps out in the 1250m Class 3 contest at Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.
Following a career in Singapore which yielded six wins from 42 starts, CHEVAL RAPIDE has recaptured his best form in two runs since joining the Selangor stables of Simon Dunderdale this season. The Irish bred recorded a resounding victory first up over 1100m here on September 10 after a ten-month spell.
CHEVAL RAPIDE was a fraction unlucky last start after beginning moderately before powering home to finish 3rd behind the inform Alliance Captain. The gelding is yet to win beyond 1100m but the rise in distance should not be a problem judging by the way he closed off last start.
