Kota Kinabalu: Race 5 Class D over 1000m sand track tomorrow (Sunday) at Tambalang is compulsory watching with yet another open high-speed race anticipated with no clear-cut favourite.
Six ambitious runners – Wawa, Bandau, Kokorriko, Ariana Rose, Dita and Ms Guu will race hard to be “first amongst equals”.
Smart Bolivian Gorgeous can surprise with a place position and therefore should be regarded.
Race 4 Class D is worth heading down to the tracks as well with a crowded field of 13 runners entered for the 1000m sand track race.
Magic Opa, Putera Sarawak, and Victoria Glory are tipped with Simpangan Girl and Ratu First to challenge.
This Sunday in Kranji, Singapore sees Royal Sabah Turf Club’s (RSTC) Sabah Ace fully focused on delivering a good performance that can position him for a shot at Group 3 Cup glory in June.
Race 8 over a distance of 1600m, Sabah Ace is in unfamiliar distance territory as well as facing some fierce competitors.
The consistent Aniki with an impeccable Class 3 record of one win and two third positions in his last three runs is favourite.
Black Storm had raced 1600m before with a solid second place on March 9 and should be considered.
Pacific MV can surprise given his impressive, full throttle home run on April 6, albeit over 1000m.
With in-form jockey Pinheiro astride, Sabah Ace needs to settle down quickly amongst the early leaders for the finale fight over the last 400m.
For this Saturday (Hong Kong meeting) and Sunday (Tambalang, Singapore and Selangor meetings) race details and timings and locations of RSTC “live” Off-Course telecast venues in Tanjung Aru and Keningau, visit the Royal Sabah Turf Club website.
