Manoel Nunes signalled his desire
to regain his Kranji crown now that he is back riding for a full season for
the first time in three years.
Nunes won three Singapore premiership from 2015 to 2017 and was second to Vlad Duric in 2018 after which he was
not relicenced.
The Brazilian was back in action at Kranji last November before Singapore
racing took a one-month break.
Nunes was not in action at the season-opening meeting last Sunday and wasted
no time to show his intention with four winners today. He was in the thick
of things most afternoon as he also finished second five times.
Nunes and Tim Fitzsimmons combined to win three races with DANCING LIGHT,
SUPER ATAS and LUCKY JINSHA.
LUCKY JINSHA, who cost just A$5,000 at the 2YO Horses In Training sale,
completed a hattrick and has now won four of 12 starts.
Nunes' other success came on MORTAL ENGINE who picked up his second win in
three starts. The Australian gelding was unplaced in one run Down Under
before coming out to Singapore.
"I’m so happy to start the season with four winners. I
had five seconds, too, it could have been better, but I can't complain and
can't be too greedy, anyway," said Nunes.
"I’m very happy with the way things have gone so far,
considering I had a break for two years (stranded due to COVID-19
restrictions) in Brazil, and only rode for one month in November.
"And then just when I was getting
fit, we stopped again in December, but to be honest, I rode every day except
Sunday, which was my only day off.
