Former Australian galloper CODIGO (Conatus - Decipher by Timber Country) made a winning start to his Singapore campaign when successful in the Class 4 - 1000m sprint on the polytrack at Kranji tonight.

Aided by a 4-kg claim by apprentice Wong Wei Xiang, the five-year-old came from a long way back at the home turn to beat MIGHTY CREATION by half a length.

Malaysian bred CHINO DIABLO, who won three times in 15 starts in Malaysia, set the pace and did well to finished third in his first start at Kranji.

CODIGO, raced by Magic Millions Sales principal Gerald Harvey, is a late starter, having just two runs at three for a win over 1100m at Canterbury.

He had another six starts at four, winning once over 1000m at Warwick Farm and two placings.

"He was a handy horse in Sydney but just lost his way a bit late before coming up here," said Steven Burridge.
