Tuaran: Tambalang Race 5 (Class 3) over 1100m sandtrack this Sunday will be a scorcher. The field of eight starters all have declared ambitions to finish first amongst equals. The magnificent Ratu First is in fabulous form this season and must be closely watched. Vastly experienced Water Princess is a proper runner that can throttle hard in the last furlong.
Beautiful Princess, always prepared well by RX Stable, has a decent chance of topping this race. Do not disregard Dedek Beauty, a quality and hardworking-type, who will start the race at gate 2 advantage.
Race 4 (Novice) over 1100m sandtrack has four runners fighting for first position. The smart Mamboo enters this race as favourite.
Finishing a close second on 6 April, he can go one better. Honey Prize is well-tuned and always try her best.
The consistent Ria Novilla is proven quality and can put up a title challenge as well. Last but not least, Delilah is expected to excel at this level.
Today (Saturday), Royal Sabah Turf Club’s Sabah Star and Kinabalu Light are expected to improve from their previous outings at Selangor Turf Club. Scheduled at Race 4 (Class 4B) over 1020m, Sabah Star is competitive at this level and has a place chance.
In Race 11 (Class 5A) over 1600m, Kinabalu Light can compete for first place but he has to overcome a strong field of Run Buddy Run as favourite, Flying Warrior and Dragon Whisperer.
Saturday also includes two exciting Group 2 races from Australia’s Eagle Farm track. Race 7 (Group 2) over 1600m features Australia’s brightest three-year olds competing for a total prize money of A$350,000.
Shangri La Spring is early favourite with Wonder Boy, Boomtown Boss, Our Benefactor going all in. Race 8 (Group 2) over 1200m sees Coleman going head on with a freshened Golden Mile. New Zealand bred Jedibeel will have a crack at these two favourites.
Look out for Hidden Wealth with an excellent record of four wins in his last six outings. The local totalisator pools for Australian races are commingled into larger Australian pools which is well-received by local race-goers.
Race goers can visit the Tambalang Racecourse, RSTC’s off-course centres in Tanjung Aru or Keningau to watch “live” Australian (Eagle Farm and Hawkesbury) & Selangor races this Saturday, and local, Hong Kong & Selangor races on Sunday.
