TENZING, who has not tasted success since winning the Fortune Bowl nearly a year ago, has bounced back to form at the right moment as he seeks to defend the Group 3 event which will be run in three weeks' time.

The Australian six-year-old finished a creditable fourth in the Singapore Gold Cup last November but has two disappointing runs since.

However, partnered by John Powell today, TENZING found plenty at the finish to win drawing away by three-quarter length in the Woodlands Classic Stakes which has been elevated to Group 3 level this year.

"It’s nice to kick off the year with a feature win," said Powell who had combined with trainer Cliff Brown to win the Emirates Singapore Derby with CLINT in 2011.

“I thought he would run a good race today, but his next start in the 2000m race (Fortune Bowl) will be even better," said Brown.
