Golden Pegasus Graded win on the cards

September 2024

Selangor racing continues on Sunday featuring a thrilling nine-race card with highly competitive action expected throughout the day.

Talented performer Golden Pegasus was denied his first Group success a fortnight ago but should quickly atone in the 1700m metro contest at Kuala Lumpur.

Golden Pegasus has been one of the most progressive gallopers on the Malaysian circuit since joining the Wayne Lim stable earlier this year, posting three wins from five starts for the camp. The gelding came up a head short behind Antipodean in the G1 Selangor Gold Cup despite hitting the lead momentarily in the last 100m.

Golden Pegasus goes up 2kg from that performance and should prove hard to beat at his first run over the 1700m trip.

Promising four-year-old Military Flag likely found the competition too tough in the Group 1 Selangor Gold Cup (1600m) last time out. Compounding this, he raced wide throughout, making his ninth-place finish understandable.

With a significant drop in class, he is well-weighted to score in a field that appears even weaker than the Class 3 race he won two starts ago, and should be a strong contender in Race 8.

An eight-time winner in Singapore, Lim’s Craft is poised for a much-improved performance on his Malaysia debut, especially given the shared ratings system between the two countries.

In his last five starts, he finished within 3.50 lengths of the winner on four occasions, so a Top 3 finish this week wouldn’t come as a surprise. He looks one to watch in Race 2. - iRACE Magazine
