Newcomers RISE 'N' SHINE and WONDERFUL PRINCE, both ridden by leading jockey Manoel Nunes, lighted up Valentine's Day at Kranji with impressive wins in the their Singapore debut tonight.

RISE 'N' SHINE followed up on his impressive trials in New Zealand and Singapore to win drawing in the Restricted Maiden - 1200m sprint on the turf after trailing the field early but unleashing a terrific run in the final 200m.

RISE 'N' SHINE is well bred, being out of a stake-winning mare who was also twice placed in both the Group 1 Telegraph Handicap and Group 1 Waikato Draught Sprint behind DARCI BRAHMA and SEA CHANGE.

Which was why his owners Te Akau Racing Stable has to go to N$130,000 to secure him at the sales.

WONDERFUL PRINCE, New Zealand bred but raced twice in Australia with two fifth-place finishes at Geelong, ran his rivals off their feet with a four-length victory in the Kranji Stakes D, Div 2 - 1100m event on the polytrack.

WONDERFUL PRINCE arrived in Singapore just under three months ago and was registered and trialled just in time for tonight's race.
