BETTER THAN EVER coasting to his fourth consecutive win - SNTC photo

Champion jockey Saimee Jumaat made a winning return to race riding when he partnered BETTER THAN EVER to a runaway win in the Three Year Old Stakes over 1200m at Kranji here tonight.

Having sat out the last six days through suspensions, Saimee wasted no time to guide BETTER THAN EVER (French Deputy - Songfest by Unbridled's Song) to his fourth consecutive win and remains unbeaten. Saimee partnered him in all his outings so far.

Promising Malaysian apprentice Ruzaini Supien chalked up his second win at Kranji when he took HEAR ME (formerly Bombay Diamond) to a comfortable win in the Class 4, Div 2 - 1000m sprint on the polytrack.

It was the first win in seven starts for HEAR ME (Van Nistelrooy - Gordon's by Kaapstad) who had 11 outings in Australia for two wins and four placings.
