TENZING came from last early to snatch a last-stride victory in the S$200,000 Fortune Bowl over 2000m at Kranji here today, making up for his disappointment outing in the Emirates Singapore Derby last July when he pulled up after bleeding during the race.

Prior to the Derby, the Australian gelding had won three times in eight starts and on resuming, has started three times for a fourth in the Group 3 Pronin Construct Stakes (1700m) last December.

Trained by Cliff Brown, TENZING (Catbird - Pinnacle by Shirley Heights) finished last to FLYING FULTON in the New Year Cup on Jan 1 and it was the latter who started a firm favourite in the Fortune Bowl today.

However, TENZING, ridden by Danny Beasley, was lucky to avoid interference suffered by other runners to beat MITRE PEAK by a short head to pay $94 for a win.

TENZING raced nine times in Australia for two wins and three placings before coming to Singapore with the Derby in mind. He also had one attempt at Group 1 level, finishing unplaced in the South Australian Derby.
