NOVA SWISS stretch his unbeaten
record to five wins with another stylish performance in the Benchmark 97 -
1000m sprint on the polytrack at Kranji here today.
Backed down to odds-on, the Swiss Ace gelding never looked like letting his
backers down. After tracking the pacemaker SEBAS till the home turn, the
three-year-old raced past him with ease to win by 1 1/4 lengths.
" have
only one word to describe him: Classy," a delighted trainer Alwin Tan said
after the race.
"I have
no doubt in my mind he has a brilliant future here at Kranji. But he needs
to prove himself in better races from now on," added the 2016 champion
trainer.
NOVA SWISS, who cost just NZ$10,000 as a yearling, won twice in five outings
in New Zealand before moving to Singapore.
