RECAST, a former top
three-year-old who went astray after winning the E W Barker Trophy in
February last year, came right again after a spell early this season to
capture the S$500,000 Kranji Mile here today.
Winner of the Singapore Guineas in 2004, the chestnut Australian ridgeling
by Thunder Gulch out of the Marauding mare Abonnement came on the outside of
the field in the home straight to nail KING AND KING by a head in the
Singapore Group 1 event over 1600m.
RECAST, winner of two of his three starts in Australia, showed a lot of
promise with three wins in 2004. Early last year, he scored back-to-back
wins but struggled to find his form after that.
Back from a spell in the middle of the year, he was placed twice in three
starts and was the second lowest rated horse in the line-up today.
RECAST was the third leg of a splendid treble for jockey Oscar Chavez who
also scored on DARK GENERAL (3 b.a.g Blackfriars - Voltage Pak by Carry A
Smile) and ZINLY (4 b.nz.g Danasinga - La Cent by Centaine).
ZINLY made it four wins in five starts with a
thrilling win in the Kranji Stakes B - 1400m sprint.
