Selangor racing continues on Sunday, with an exciting 10-race card, including the RM40,000 Class 3 Langkawi Sky Bridge Stakes over 1200m.
Locally unbeaten five-year-old, Tom's Lightning should continue his winning streak in the 1200m Class 3 contest at Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.
A winner of two from 12 starts in New Zealand, Tom's Lightning created an immediate impression, resuming from an eight-month break and leading throughout at his local debut. The former Kiwi performer defied the class rise when scoring in similar circumstances against Class 3 opposition here three weeks ago.
Tom's Lightning should once again utilise his early pace and looks on target for the winning hat-trick this weekend against similar opposition.
Argentinian-bred performer Pacific Flash appears primed to break the Malaysia duck when he steps out in the 1200m Class 4A contest this Sunday.
The form lines for Pacific Flash read well with the eight-year-old reeling off a fast final sectional to finish 1.75 lengths behind the locally unbeaten Tom’s Lightning, when resuming on 11 August. The gelding finished runner-up behind the Group placed Super Happy prior to spelling back in May.
Posting his fifth start in the country, Pacific Flash is suited dropping back to Class 4 company and is on target to break his 26-month winning drought. - iRACE magazine
