Just Name it back in form with hat-trick

PENANG:  Mar 16, 2019
 

After going almost 22 months without a win, JUST NAME IT has bounced back to form in style at the age of eight to reel off a hat-trick.

The Darci Brahma gelding won just once in 28 starts in Singapore and started his Malaysian campaign with a double in early 2017.

Early last month, JUST NAME IT was back in the winner's circle with an easy win on this track. Promoted a class, he had to battle to a narrow win in Ipoh two weeks ago.

Today, JUST NAME IT came from just off the pace to win drawing away by two lengths in a Class 4 handicap over 1400m.

JUST NAME IT kicked start a superb hat-trick by jockey Rueven Ravindra and trainer Evert van Breukelen.

They followed up in the next event with HONGCHEN who has now two wins from three starts after his transfer from Singapore where he managed seven wins in 64 runs.

Their third winner was BELT AND ROAD. The Wanted gelding ended his Singapore campaign with a win in his final (ninth) run last April and has now found success in his ninth outing in Malaysia.
