Sunday – 5 August
Trainer Frank Maynard’s Symphony Eclipse broke the ice in fine fashion over 1200m in Race 5 and should keep a close watch. The four-year-old by Red Giant with Jockey Y Alify on board, came with a pulverising run at the top of the straight to beat Alrina.
Nova Falcon displayed supremacy once again when outclassed the rest of the rivals to win in Class 4 over 1200m in Race 7 on Sunday at Selangor Turf Club. The four-year-old by Falkirk with Panamanian Jockey Oscar Chavez was tucked in handy spot till home bend and swept past the early leaders to win drawing away.
