Magic City
sparkles in season opener, again
PENANG: Mar 21, 2021 |
|
|
MAGIC CITY, who started the 2020
season on a winning note, has done it again in the new season.
After his winning start last year, the Brazilian ridgeling failed to
reproduce any decent form except for one minor placing before bouncing back
with a victory on this track last November.
This time, MAGIC CITY followed up on that effort to win the Rapid Stakes
set-weight event over 1200m here today.
Jockey Ruzaini Sani settled the seven-year-old on the rails just off the
pace but switched him wide out making the turn into the straight. ECLIPSE
SPLASH shot the front at the 300m and dashed clear.
MAGIC CITY got going very late and just managed to put his neck in front at
the finish.
MAGIC CITY has now won three of 14 starts since coming over from Singapore
where he also picked up three wins in 20 outings.
