GOOD FIGHT stepped up on a very good run in the Selangor Gold Cup last month to win the RM100,000 Sports Toto Supreme Challenge Cup over 1400m at Sungei Besi here today.

Already winner of four races in the lower classes earlier in the season, the Super One gelding accounted for a top field in the Supreme A set-weight event after finishing sixth in the Selangor Gold Cup.

BERRY BLISS, who finished second in the Selangor Gold Cup, started favourite ahead of AWESOME STORM in the betting. The favourite was never in the reckoning throughout.

AWESOME STORM as usual jumped well and led early but LEOPARD ECLIPSE took over when the field made the first turn out of the back straight.

The leader was beaten coming to the 400m and AWESOME STORM quickly took over. GOOD FIGHT, who was a handy third most of the way, STREETS OF FIRE and XENA gave chase and they almost in a line at the 200m.

STREETS OF FIRE hit the front momentarily soon after but GOOD FIGHT collared him 50m out to beat him by half a length. XENA finished third while AWESOME STORM faded to fourth. GOOD FIGHT paid RM89 for a win.

Winner of one race in nine starts in Singapore, GOOD FIGHT has picked up seven wins since coming under the charge of Simon Dunderdale.

"He finished a close-up sixth in the Selangor Gold Cup but today with the light weight (52kg after claim) he was able to finish over the top of them and won well," said Dunderdale.

"A great ride from my stable apprentice Tuan Ammar and a big congratulations to the owners."

"The pace was very fast early so I let him sat in a handy position," said Ammar who was winning on GOOD FIGHT for the third time this year. "I asked him for an effort from the 400m and he responded well."
