DONTELLTHEWIFE wins the Moonbeam Vase in heavy rain - SNTC photo

DONTELLTHEWIFE braved heavy rain to score an easy win in the second running of the Group 3 Moonbeam Vase over 1800m at Kranji here today.

Stepping up in class after winning a Kranji Stakes C event on the polytrack last time out, the four-year-old handled the change in track condition best to win by two and a half lengths from the well-backed runners NEW ROSE WOOD (Love A Dane - Western Explorer by Is It True) and SOUTH EASTER (Galileo - Dance Treat by Nureyev).

Two months ago, DONTELLTHEWIFE (Volksraad - Juliette Heights by Shirley Heights) showed promise when he finished fourth to FATKID (Handsome Ransom - Grace Jones by Maroof) in the Fortune Bowl over 2000m.

Today's win was his fourth in 20 starts for the Michael Clements-trained entire who cost NZ$40,000 at the Ready To Run Sale.
