Novak stays unbeaten in three starts

KUALA LUMPUR:  Nov 3, 2012

American colt NOVAK (Officer - Celines Melody by Maria's Mon) made it three wins from three starts with a gutsy display in a Class 4 - 1200m handicap at Sungei Besi here today.

The three-year-old took the scene by storm back in January when he won in Restricted Terms by seven lengths. After an enforced lay-off, he again impressed when he easily accounted for Class 4 opposition last month, providing apprentice Mohamed Firdaus (MM Firdaus) with his maiden success.

NOVAK provided Firdaus with his second win today but the young apprentice had to work hard for the victory, prevailing in a three-way photo to win by a head.

Meanwhile, Jose De Souza continued his good recent run of success to boot home a double on BEFLEDGED (Hidden Dragon - Golf Circuit by Groucho) and GOOD GOOD LUCK (Magic Albert - Our Impala by Humam) and moved within four winners of leading jockey Eirwan Khalid who had 48 winners.
