Rajah Brook bags surprise second win

KUALA LUMPUR:  May 2, 2015
 

Despite breaking through for his first win in the local circuit three starts back, RAJAH BROOK started at long odds in a Class 4 - 1100m handicap at Sungei Besi here today.

Ridden by Calvin Goon for the first time, the New Zealand five-year-old was well back in the running but produced a terrific burst of speed in the gome stretch to win by a neck in a four-way photo, returning RM155 on the win tote.

RAJAH BROOK won once at three from nine starts in New Zealand and failed to make any impression at all in seven starts in Singapore.

His Malaysian campaign did not start well either but at the tail-end of last year and early this season chalked up four consecutive minor placings before breaking through for his maiden win over 1700m last February.

Today's trip was considerably shorter than his last few outings which probably explains why he started at generous odds.
