China Angel surprises in NSF Silver Bowl

PENANG,  24 Oct 2009

CHINA ANGEL sprang a huge surprise when she romped to an easy win in the RM55,000 National Stud Farm Silver Bowl for Malaysian breds over 1200m here today.

The four-year-old by Nuclear Breeze out of the Torrential I'm Classy has been disappointing since her only previous win eight months ago. So it was not a surprise that the mare started at long odds and she paid RM343 for a win.

What was unexpected, however, that she raise her game and won by three and a quarter lengths over the equine millionaire SUMMER FIESTA, although she did enjoy a 10kg 'pull' over the later.

Rising apprentice Ruzaini Supien once again showed his potential with a double on LET'S GO (Van Nistelrooy - Ransom Bay by Red Ransom) and VERY POWERFUL, the former resuming after a spell to register his first win in 11 starts.

For VERY POWERFUL (Tale Of The Cat - Bagua Lass by Octagonal), it was his first win since February 2007 when he recorded his only previous success.
