TIGER ROAR will be one to watch in the middle distance races next season, after the Australian colt came from a long way back to win the Class 4 - 1800m handicap at Kranji here today.

After a win and two placings over sprints in his first three starts, the Australian three-year-old flashed home too late to catch LUCK OF MASTER over 1800m last month in his first staying test.

Ryan Munger, who had partnered him to victory two months back, was back in the saddle today and settled TIGER ROAR in the rear early. When the field bunched up making the turn into the straight, he made his run widest of all.

Munger steadied TIGER ROAR for his final push and the Wandjina gelding just got up in the last few strides to beat CIRCUIRT STAR by a nose.

"I didn’t want to smack him, I thought I could ride him all hands, but like he did at his last races, he was looking for company," said Munger. "I gave him a few smacks and that’s when he ran past the other horse."

Trainer Michael Clements said: "It looked like he made hard work of it, but I’m still very happy with the win. He’s only a three-year-old, and he did well at the middle of the handicap."
