Unplaced in all three legs of the 3YO Challenge this year, PENNYWISE has bounced back to take two of his last four runs.

A win in Class 3 last July after the Challenge series was followed by another gutsy display in the Class 2 - 1000m handicap on the polytrack at Kranji here tonight.

Ridden for the first time in a race by Krisna Thangamani, PENNYWISE came from midfield and fought his way on the outside of horses to score by half a length.

"I’m also very happy for Krisna. For two years he only rode trackwork on this horse and never got a chance to sit on him in a race," said trainer Ricardo Le Grange. "Tonight, he got the chance and he gave him a great ride. Yes, they were trapped wide, but Krisna kept him rolling and they were nice and strong to the line."

PENNYWISE has now won seven times in 16 starts after being purchased for 720,000 pesos as a yearling in Argentina. He has earned just over $330,000 with his latest success.
