Wonderful continues winning run

SINGAPORE:  Jan 30, 2017
 
WONDERFUL gets up on the inside of CONSTANT JUSTICE to snatch

WONDERFUL, who won four consecutive races after being transferred to trainer Shane Baertschiger in the middle of last year, continued his winning run today despite a layoff when victorious in the Benchmark 83 - 1100m event on the polytrack at Kranji.

Still not fully fit after taking a break last September, the Hidden Dragon gelding still showed too much class when he came from off the pace early to run down the front-running CONSTANT JUSTICE to win by a head.

WONDERFUL had shown promise from day one when he finished fourth in his debut but then went through an exasperating run of five placings, finding one to beat four times, before being moved to Baertschiger.

WONDERFUL was purchased by his owner Lai Chan Cheong for A$110,000 as a yearling and won his only start in Sydney before coming to Singapore.
