Sakura Japan wins
3YO Championship heat
PENANG: May 6, 2018 |
|
Australian filly SAKURA JAPAN put
up a gutsy display to win the first heat of the 2018 Malaysian 3YO Champion
here today.
JUTSU, as many feared, failed to saddle up after his hard-earned victory
last week even though he was well in touch with the leaders throughout
today.
Five-time winner RELAU STAR was sent off the favourite and looked the winner
when he dashed clear at the 200m.
SAKURA JAPAN, kept handy throughout by Ruzaini Supien, was about to launch
her effort at the 300m when D'GREAT DRAGON ran about and Ruzaini had to
straight his mount.
Once the filly got clear behind the heels of D'GREAT DRAGON and got into
strides, SAKURA JAPAN charged home to pip RELAU STAR by head on the line.
She paid RM114.
SAKURA JAPAN finished second in her debut last month and is trained by
Charles Leck who just missed out on winning the 3YO Championship last year.
