Natural Water flows to another victory

PENANG:  Dec 29, 2018
 

NATURAL WATER is now flowing freely after his transfer from Singapore where he failed to register even a placing in 30 starts.

After three unplaced outings under new trainer Lim Hoon Seng, the Sakhee's Secret gelding broken the duck when he easily won over 1700m here last Sunday.

Proving that the dark days are behind him, NATURAL WATER had to work harder today when winning by a head in the Class 5 - 1600m handicap.

PERCIUS was the early leader but the six-year-old, ridden once again by AM Aizat, charged to the front making the turn into the back straight. He never surrendered his lead after that, although he drifted out in the home stretch and PERCIUS made a determined challenge on the rails.

NATURAL WATER, who cost just NZ$5,000 as a yearling, has been sold and resold several times and came under two different trainers in Singapore before finding his form in Malaysia.
