Manoel Munes, six times champion jockey in Macau before coming to Singapore, recorded his treble at Kranji tonight to bring his tally to 19 in less than two months.

Joao Moreira, record-breaking rider for the past three seasons, cemented his lead with a double to bring his score to 33.

But it was Moreira's fellow countryman who stole the thunder early when he scored on his first ride of the evening on LIGHTNING BALL who benefited from the use of blinkers and tongue-tie to register his maiden win in two starts in the Fairmont Cup.

Munes followed up in the next race to win on THE GREAT GREY before guiding PITSTOP to an upset win over his stablemate GILT LAD, the odds-on favourite in the Blackberry Cup.
