KINGTRAP, who returned to racing last March after seven months on the sidelines during which he underwent joint surgery, produced the biggest shock of the season yet when he triumphed in the Class 4 - 1000m sprint on the polytrack at Kranji tonight.

KINGTRAP (Sandtrap - Sew Straight by Straight Strike) was forced into an enforced layoff after winning in Class 5 last August and was subsequently transferred to trainer David Hill.

Since resuming, the five-year-old has finished down the field in three starts but a change of gear to a pair of blinkers and pacifiers brought out the best in KINGTRAP again who paid a thumping $1,291 for a win.
