KEEP AWAY Air Jihad - Laurel Alice by Biwa Hayahide) took advantage of a huge drop in the handicap to win the Singapore Group 3 S$200,000 Committee's Prize over 1600m at Kranji today.

Winless for more than 16 months, the Japanese gelding had shown a glimpse of his old dash with placings in his last two starts over 1400m and 1800m.

But the 'mile' is his pet distance, having scored nine time previously over that trip. And jockey Mohd Zaki, a former apprentice to trainer Hideyuki Takaoka, had been responsible for three of those successes.

Zaki was back in the saddle on KEEP AWAY today, and the pair went to the front immediately and led his rivals on a merry chase to win by one and a quarter lengths, creating a mild upset and giving Zaki his first group win.

"I know this horse very well. I won three times on him and I’m the one who ride him in trackwork every day," said Zaki.
