Classy galloper CAPTAIN OBVIOUS is back in the winner's circle after eight months when he scored a narrow victory in the Kranji Stakes A - 1400m event at Kranji here tonight.

With apprentice Mohd A'Isisuhairi Kasim in the saddle, the seven-year-old took up his customary role as pacemaker, then held on to beat the fast-finishing GHOZI by a head. WHAT NOW, who was also putting in good work at the finish, was a further neck away third.

"He's been a great horse to us. Such a lovely horse to train - I just love him," said trainer Steven Burridge.

It was the fifth win, including one in Dubai, for the former champion Malaysian galloper since moving to Singapore. He had chalked up 10 wins in 15 starts in Malaysia before making the move down south.
