JAY PEG, who won the Group 1 Dubai Duty Free last March, carried that form to Singapore and won the S$3m Singapore Airlines International Cup over 2000m at Kranji tonight.

The highest rated runner in the capacity field, the South African gelding by Camden Park out of Laptop Lady finished one and three quarters lengths ahead of last season's Singapore Gold Cup winner RECAST, denying Singapore a home town in the Group 1 event.

BALIUS, who finished second to ARCHIPENKO in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup last month, came home third, just ahead of another Singapore runner WORLD DELIGHT.

Smartly away, JAY PEG led past the winning post for the first time but allowed CHVERON to take up the running going into the back straight. CHEVRON made a breakaway in the back straight but quickly came under pressure at he home bend.

JAY PEG regained the lead soon on straightening and was chased by a line of three that included RECAST and WORLD DELIGHT. JAY PEG held them at bay to win comfortably with BALIUS flashing home very late wide out.
