LIM'S LIGHTNING continued his remarkable comeback to Singapore racing with yet another win at Kranji here today.

Ridden by comeback jockey Danny Beasley no less, the Lope De Vega gelding easily accounted for his six rivals in the Kranji Stakes A - 1400m event, winning by 2 1/4 lengths after tracking the pacemaker FAME STAR before passing him with ease.

It was his fourth win in five starts (the other being a second to MINISTER in the Kranji Mile back in May) since returning from a campaign in Australia.

All count, LIM'S LIGHTNING had won eight of 13 starts in Singapore including the Lion City Cup last April.

Having been tested twice over the mile for a third (in the Guineas in 2019 before his Australian adventure) and the Kranji Mile, the six-year-old will now set his sight on the Raffles Cup next month.
