QUICKSILVER made a triumphant return to racing after a one-year absence to upset hot favourite JUPITER GOLD in the Class 4, Div 2 - 1200m sprint on the polytrack at Kranji here tonight.

The South African gelding raced six times last year for a win and a third and his comeback has been put off several times this year despite winning a trial last June.

He then had to undergo surgery and a recent trial win indicated that he was back in good health.

With his regular partner Nooresh Juglall to guide him once again, QUICKSILVER managed to show his rivals a clean pair of heels, leading throughout to finish half a length ahead of JUPITER GOLD.

QUICKSILVER was purchased by trainer Patrick Shaw who paid 280,000 rand for him as a yearling.
