Four-time group placed former Australian galloper BANK'S GIFT got off the mark in his second start in Singapore when he carved out a narrow win in the Class 3 - 1200m sprint on the polytrack at Kranji here today.

Ridden by KK Ng, BANK'S GIFT (Over - Golf Circuit by Groucho) charged home on the outside of JALOUX and RYAN JAMES to win by a head on a three-way photo.

BANK'S GIFT raced as Over The Wicket in Australia, facing the starter 16 times for a win over 1100m at Randiwick and six seconds, the best effort coming in the Group 2 Pago Pago Stakes and the Group 2 Royal Sovereign Stakes.

BANK'S GIFT contested but was unplaced in last year's Golden Slipper Stakes.

Newcomer FELINE GROOVY (Catbird - Cotton Bay by Zabaleta), meanwhile, created good impression when he scored first-up in the Class 4, Div 2 - 1200m sprint.

On board in all his six starts in Australia, winning once and was placed three times, FELINE GROOVY is a half-brother to COPPERFIELD.   

Robbie Fradd and Joao Moeira shared riding honours with three wins apiece.
