NORTHERN LAND (Secret Savings - Naqiyah by Danewin) enhanced his already impressive record with a runaway win in the Class 3 - 1400m handicap at Kranji today.

Ridden for the first time by Jose Verenzuela, the Australian four-year-old led his rivals on a merry chase, and went to the line three lengths clear of the rest headed by PEACEFUL WARRIOR who has now found one to beat in his last four starts.

NORTHERN LAND cost just A$15,000 as a yearling and has now chalked up four wins and a third in six career starts in Singapore.

Today's win was his second consecutive over 1400m, after having won twice over 1200m. "He keeps on improving with every run. We now might try stepping him up over a bit longer distance," said trainer Tan Hor Khoon.
