Speedy Dragon makes amends for fourth win

SINGAPORE:  Dec 4, 2015

SPEEDY DRAGON picked up his fourth win in seven starts with an easy win in the Class 3 - 1200m sprint on the polytrack at Kranji here tonight and looks set to better the record of his full brother RAPIDO STAR.

The latter had a sensational start to his career in late 2010 when unbeaten in his first three runs. Soon after, it was four wins from six outings. He picked up another two wins in 2012 and one the following year but has struggled to find his winning form in the past two seasons.

Two runs back, SPEEDY DRAGON had to share honours with GOLDEN SWORD when the pair dead-heated in a Graduation event.

In his last start, the three-year-old started even-money but struggled to finish fifth in a Class 3 event over 1100m.

With Manoel Nunes (who won twice on him previously) back in the saddle this time, SPEEDY DRAGON made amends to win by one and a half lengths.
