Trainer Steven Burridge achieved a career best when he saddled five winners in a card of nine races at Kranji tonight.

Burridge started the winning on a superb note when he captured the first three races of the evening with first time winners FLASH GORDON (Catbird - Kayzarana by Generous) and BENJI'S PRIDE (More Than Ready - Elle Duccio by Danehill), and a comeback win for LIM'S CONNECTION, a full brother to FLASH GORDON.

Vlad Duric, who rode BENJI'S PRIDE and LIM'S CONNECTIONS, and Burridge went on to take the main event of the evening, the Kranji Stakes A - 1600m event on DROVETTI (Mossman - Clareta by Pauillac).

Burridge wound up the evening with a comeback victory for BIONIC BOY (Falvelon - Pekan Lady by Sri Pekan), who reeled off a hat-trick last year.

"I owe a lot to my staff,” said Burridge. “They are all terrific workers and without their help I would be here tonight. Everything fell into place and luck was on my side tonight."
