RECAST followed up on his splendid win in the Singapore Gold Cup last month to capture the S$200,000 Committee's Prize over 1600m at Kranji here today, re-writing the short course record time in 1 min. 34.7 secs.

Although coming back in distance from the 2200m of the Gold Cup, the seven-year-old by Thunder Gulch out of the Marauding mare Abonnement was able to come from second last at the home turn to defeat ROYAL STAR by half-a-length, denying champion New Zealand jockey Lisa Cropp a victory in the Singapore Group 3 event.

Last year's Singapore Gold Cup winner MR LINE showed a return to form to finish third. The favourite WORLD AIRLINES faded badly to finish 10th after setting the pace.

Earlier in the day, Cropp, here on a flying visit for the weekend, booted home ROYAL WARRIOR (Piccolo - Dance Star by Semipalatinsk) to record her first win at Kranji.
