Sakima returns to winner's circle

KUALA LUMPUR,  April 10, 2010

SAKIMA, who scored back-to-back wins last year, was back in the winner's circle, winning the Class 2 (Banded 66-80) handicap over 1600m at Sungei Besi here today.

Ridden by Harmeet Singh Gill, the four-year-old won comfortably by 1 1/4 lengths to give Gill a double for the afternoon.

SAKIMA (More Than Ready - Quadrophonic Sound by Ideal Planet) cost A$67,500 as a yearling and today's win was his third in eight starts.

Racegoers were treated to a thriller in Race 5 when ADMIRAL ZHENGHO (Captain Rio - Ballet Queen by Gold Brose) and ZHEN DAO (Nothin' Leica Dane - Poets' Best by Our Poetic Prince) went to the line locked together, resulting in a deadheat victory for both.
