Manoel Nunes resumed riding at Kranji here tonight after serving a one-month suspension and quickly made up for lost time by booting home three winners, including two promising three-year-olds in FAMOUS ARTIST and KAM'S COMET.

FAMOUS ARTIST, made it two wins and a second from three starts when he easily accounted for a Novice field over 1200m.

After a runaway win in Restricted Maiden company in April, he was narrowly beaten in a Novice event last month but made up for it tonight with Nunes back to partner him.

Nunes also rode KAM'S COMET in his three previous starts for two wins and the New Zealand gelding was on target again in the Class 4, Div 1 - 1100m sprint on the polytrack.

Earlier, Nunes piloted SQUIRE OSBALDESTON to the gelding's maiden win in six starts in Singapore. The Irish gelding had managed two wins in nine starts in England.

"It’s good to be back a winner at my first day of riding, especially on a horse who I was very unlucky with at his last run," said Nunes after dismounting. The five-year-old finished sixth in a Class 4 - 1700m event last month.

"He was on Polytrack and he had so many problems in the backstraight. The pace was too slow and he kept getting checked."
