Rollthedice pays big in first win

SINGAPORE:  June 8, 2012

After 22 months, ROLLTHEDICE finally landed his first win in the Class 5, Div 2 - 1600m handicap at Kranji here tonight.

Placed just twice in 17 starts, the Australian gelding's 18th outing proved to be a successful once.

Ridden by apprentice R Shafiq, ROLLTHEDICE (Greenwood Lake - Spectadrama by Spectrum) came from second last of 12 runners at the home turn to win drawing away by one and a half lengths. He paid $204 for a win.

Improving three-year-old EMBLESSED (Danewin - Dolphinima by Dolphin Street), meanwhile, completed a hat-trick when he carved out a narrow win over the favourite CASH DOT COM in the Class 3 - 1200m sprint.

The Australian colt broke through for his maiden win in Restricted Maiden company in March and has gone from strength to strength since.
