It has not taken Ivaldo Santana long to get back into the groove of things after missing more than three months of action due to a nasty fall last August.

In his second meeting back in the saddle last Sunday, Santana landed a double astride HIGHLIGHT and EMPRESS WU.

Follow his comeback double came the news this week that he has been granted a one-year licence for the new season, thus extending his stay in Singapore.

And the Brazilian celebrated that news with another victory astride GAZOO in the Initiation - 1200m sprint at Kranji tonight.

GAZOO was originally sold for A$10,000 as a yearling but was purchased by trainer Leticia Dragon as a two-year-old after an impressive trial victory back in April and landed in Singapore a month later.

Beaten favourite when fourth in his debut last month, the three-year-old son of Zizou quickly made amends, coming from well off the pace early to win drawing away by one and a quarter lengths.

"He needed the run at his first start and then he went and had a nice trial leading up to this race," said Dragon.
