the meeting - SNTC photo

Missing in action partly through a holiday back in Brazil and partly because of suspension, champion jockey Joao Moreira was back in a business and at his usual best with be booted home five winners at Kranji tonight.

But Venezuelan jockey Jose Verenzuela could also be proud achievement tonight when he scored on his only two rides for the evening.

Moreira went straight to business when he took the opening event on FUKU'S PET (No Excuse Needed - Little Gem by Night Shift).

He then had a hat-trick with RALEIGH (O'Reilly - Poppies Last by Masterclasss), THE KATHUMPA (Desert Sun - Our Gaelic Lass by Geiger Counter) and THE CINDERELLA MAN (Pentire - Summer Lot by Kingdom Bay) before wounding up the night with SUPER READY (More Than Ready - Enchanteress by Danehill).

Verenzuela had to wait late in the programme for action and promptly scored on METEOR MIKE (Mogok - Moondust by Spaceship) and had to work extra hard on CASH DOT COM (Hussonet - Alcazaba by Flying Spur) to get the gelding home a narrow winner.
