Recent G1 Tunku Gold Cup winner, NOAH KHAN makes his race track return in the 1200m Supreme A contest (Race 9) as he aims for the winning hat trick this Saturday at the Selangor Turf Club. Coming off successive wins at the track and distance, the six year old has progressed through the grades rapidly culminating with his first group victory here on March 16. From the  good draw, NOAH KHAN should once again settled on the pace with fast beginners, PACIFIC VAMPIRE and MR BLACK BACK  expected to charge forward from barrier rise. MR BLACK BACK will strip fitter from his first up 3rd over 1400m a fortnight ago and should be prominent for a long way. 

Another fast beginner on the verge of breaking through in Malaysia is ANIKI, which returned to his best form last start and looks hard to beat third up in the 1200m Class 3 contest (Race 7). The five year old carried the 59kg and led from pole position only to be overhauled in the latter stages after casting a plate during the run. The gelding draws well again in gate two but may be pressured early by eight year old mare, BIG BAD MAMA which is one of the fastest beginners on the local circuit. The ever consistent SNOW DRAGON was coming off successive victories prior to finishing 3rd over 1020m on the inner track when he had a tendency to hang inwards in the home straight. The six year old grey has not missed a place in Malaysian starts and can quickly atone.

Former Macau trainer, Ricky Choi is currently 5th in the premiership with 13 winners but has the best strike rate of 19.4% in the country for the 2025 season. The Platinum Racing Stable team up with Choi in the other division of the 1200m Class 3 (Race 8) with PLATINUM PRIORITY, which is looking to breakthrough at start number six in Malaysia. The six year old closed off well when finishing 3rd to inform galloper Stop The Water here over 1020m and steps up to the 1200m where all of his six career wins have been recorded over that distance. MILITARY FLAG is yet to show up in four runs this preparation but the drop back to Class 3 grade stands him in good stead. The four year old’s Class 3 record read 4 starts for 2 wins and 2 minor placings and is no doubt the horse to beat if he strikes his best form.

THUNDER STAR will be having its first run for the Sharee Hamilton stable and is capable of returning to winning form in the 1150m Class 5 contest (Race 12). The six year old’s race was cancelled last Sunday due to the inclement conditions but can bounce back on the downgrade despite drawing the outside barrier in the twelve horse lineup. The Hamilton / Andre Da Silva combination have produced three winners from seven starters in the last twelve month period with THUNDER STAR to maintain his good local record which reads two wins and two seconds from five outings.
