Young Australian jockey Ric McMahon returned from a three-day suspension with a vengeance at Kranji tonight.

Success have eluded the former Brisbane champion apprentice since he began a six-month stint in Singapore from April 1. It hadn't help that he copped a suspension for careless riding for his handling of TRIGGER SUCCESS on April 10.

However, McMahon's partnership with TRIGGER SUCCESS (Mossman - Cosmic Quest by Brave Warrior) brought better fortunes for the young lad when they coasted to an easy victory.

"It’s great to get the monkey off my back. The suspension was just one of those setbacks you have to take in your stride. If anything, it has made me work doubly hard to get that first win out of the way," McMahon said after the race.
