Rocket Man flies to Lion City Cup hat-trick

SINGAPORE:  May 1, 2011

ROCKET MAN as expected made it a hat-trick of wins in the S$500,000 Lion City Cup over 1200m at Kranji here today.

Fresh from his first international Group 1 success in the Dubai Golden Shaheen in late March, the Patrick Shaw-trained five-year-old led his rivals on a merry chase and had the race won a long way out, easing to the line five lengths clear of BETTER BE THE ONE.

The runner-up, who also returned from Dubai after finishing a gallant third in the Group 3 Al Quoz Sprint (1000m), was simply no match for the winner.

ROCKET MAN has now won 15 of 19 starts, with four second placings all coming at international Group 1 events.

The win today set him up nicely for another crack at the KrisFlyer International Sprint in three week's time after having found one to beat in the Group 1 1200m sprint in the last two years.
