Two former New Zealand gallopers were quick to make their marks in Singapore by winning their debut in contrasting styles at Kranji here today.

POLAR SPIRIT (Bel Esprit - Polar Sky by Hurricane Sky), who had a win and a second in five starts as a juvenile, romped home by four lengths, defeating the odds-on favourite ACE ALARDE, in the Class 4, Div 2 - 1200m sprint.

SARONG (Exceed And Excel - Wrap Around by Bletchingly), who managed a third in two starts also as a juvenile, had to dig deep to win by a neck in the Initiation - 1000m sprint on the polytrack.

Leading jockey Vlad Duric chalked up his 13th win of the season on BY LAW (Keeper - Unabelle by Omnicorp) but will have to sit out five meetings after next week's races after picking up a suspension for careless riding on KIRIN AIRISING during Friday's races.
