Malaysian based apprentice Ruzaini Supien is making waves since making a dream debut on the local circuit last September.

The Perth trained lad won his very first ride in Malaysian and soon after had Singapore trainers calling for his services. He went on to chalk up 16 wins in Malaysia and six in Singapore for the season.

Ruzaini has started the new season in the same vein, having booted home two winners in Malaysia.

But in Singapore, he is coming in for increasing support from trainers. So instead of riding in Penang today, Ruzaini elected to stay back after last night's meeting at Kranji.

The decision hit pay dirt when he landed a good-priced double on ESPOSITIO (King's Best - Ashkaleta by Ashkalani) and SMOKING JOE.

The former had not won since his last victory in January last year.

SMOKING JOE (Danetime - See The Gold by Mr Heneysee) followed up on his last start success to win the RDA Cup for Class 2 horses over 1400m.

The staging of the RDA Cup for the second year running is to lend the Riding for the Disabled Association of Singapore the platform to raise much need funds.

With the wins, Ruzaini moves up to joint fourth in the table in Singapore with five wins, two behind Vlad Duric and Joao Moreira with seven wins apiece.
