JOLIE'S SHINJU put her younger rivals to shame in the inaugural running of the Ladies Purse over 1200m at Kranji tonight.

The only three-year-old in the fillies and mares contest, JOLIE'S SHINJU (Jolie's Halo - Endearing Quality by Danzig), who has never been out of board in nine starts, romped to a three-length win, her fourth for the Japanese filly who has just been transferred to Hideyuki Takaoka.

Ladies Purse has been introduced to add more excitement to the Ladies Night and JOLIE'S SHINJU herself now looks an exciting prospect for the Four-Year-Old Series next year.

Saimee Jumaat did not feature in the final Singapore meeting of the season tonight as he is serving a suspension. But it did not matter as he has already wrapped up the title with 86 wins.

Robbie Fradd booted home AMADEUS MOZART (Mozart - Lindesberg by Doyoun) to pip Noel Callow for second placing on 67 wins, one ahead of the 2007 champion.

Laurie Laxon drew a blank with his three runners tonight but still retained the trainer's title with 71 wins. Patrick Shaw saddled two wins, PRINZIO (Pure Prize - Ponderosa Dama by Rare Performer) and AMADEUS MOZART, to finish second on 67, one ahead of John Meagher.

The leading apprentice this season is Mark Ewe with 16 winners.
