SELANGOR RACE PREVIEW SUN 27 APRIL
Trainer Richard Lim is starting to churn out a few winners in recent weeks and the stable will be represented by some winning prospects at the Selangor Turf Club meeting on Sunday.
One of those is COLONEL SON engaged in the 1150m Class 4B contest (Race 4) and is no doubt overdue for a win following three runner up performances in succession. Two of those were in Singapore prior to the gelding going for an enforced break from the last Kranji meeting in October last year. The five year old indicated he is on the verge of breaking through in Malaysia following his fast finishing 2nd over 1200m on April 6.

The camp has two genuine contenders in the following event (Race 5) with the stable represented by COMMANDER JONES and LEGEND SIXTY-THREE. COMANDER JONES is on the upgrade following his 1300m Class 5 win on March 23 where he was well supported to start the public elect in the market. The four year old grey won by a length but scored with plenty in hand and gets his chance to break the duck against Class 4 opposition. LEGEND SIXTY-THREE will strip fitter after finishing runner up over 1020m when resuming here three weeks ago. The three year old should measure up again in the grade and the gelding did attract market support for his local debut.

One of the country’s most improved performers in the past twelve months has been RED DRAGONFLY, which has established the excellent record of six wins from seven starts since joining the Ooi Chin Chin stables last year. The four year old arrived in Malaysia as a maiden from twenty runs in Singapore and will contest the 1400m Class 3 contest (Race 8). With the 53kg, he possesses the ability to defy the class rise with his familiar turn of acceleration. He goes up against the likes of FLAMING MIGLIORE and ERUPTION which filled the quinella in a 1400m Class 3 race here three weeks ago while the six year old grey, MISTY SWIFT has recaptured his best form and is looking to break the fifteen month winning drought.
The Jerome Tan yard is starting to produce a few winners in recent weeks, including a double at last Sunday’s meeting, and punters can round off the program by sticking with TANTHEMAN in Race 11. The five year old has only scored once from thirty five starts but has finished in the top four on numerous occasions and judging by his fast finishing 3rd over 1150m on April 6, he is due to strike.
