RUN FOR THE HILLS goes to the line on a tight hold - SNTC photo

RUN FOR THE HILLS made it two wins in two starts in Singapore as champion jockey Joao Moreira has another superb afternoon with five winners at Kranji today.

RUN FOR THE HILLS (Oasis Dream - Maid For The Hills by Indian Ridge), who managed just one win in 15 starts over three seasons in England, overcame a slow to take command on settling down and ran his rivals off their feet, winning by five lengths in the Class 3 - 1200m handicap on the polytrack.

Moreira, who rode him for the first time today, said "He is a very smart horse and has won in quick time today. Take it from me that won’t be the last race he wins here."

It was Moreira's fifth winner of the afternoon after he had scored on MICHAEL, MORDI, DOUBLE S and POPI POPI earlier in the day.
