Nova strikes late for second win

SINGAPORE:  Oct 2, 2015

Last-start winner NOVA STRIKE was backed down to odds-on in the Novice - 1100m sprint on the polytrack at Kranji here tonight, but the New Zealand gelding gave his backers plenty of anxious moments before completing his double.

The three-year-old settled in fourth spot behind the leading bunch and he was right on their heels as they turned for home.

But as DEVIL'S PASS beat off the early pacemaker SUPER JOY and surged clear, NOVA STRIKE just could not gain ground on the leader. FINE CHOICE also came into the picture from the 200m.

It was only in the final 50m that NOVA STRIKE, vigorously ridden by apprentice Shafiq Rizuan, rapidly closed the gap and put his head in front to win by that margin.

NOVA STRIKE was purchased for NZ$60,000 at the Ready To Run sale. He landed in March this year and was transferred to Alwin Tan before making his debut in August, finishing second.

The big surprise of the night came from 10-year-old STANZOUT who chalked up his 10th win in the Class 5 - 1600m event, returning $120.
