The inaugural RS Mobile Station Six G Cup was robbed of
some glamour with the withdrawal of the unbeaten AWESOME STORM.
But TIPPING POINT and FLYING DURUMI stepped up and made
the set-weight event for three and four-year-olds a race to remember.
TIPPING POINT, who was aiming for his fourth consecutive
win after finishing second in his debut, started odds-on and set the pace
from the start.
FLYING DURUMI, who scored a runaway win his debut and
finished second in his next start, ranged alongside him at the 400m. From
there the pair fought stride-for-stride to the finish.
FLYING DURUMI was momentarily in front at one stage but
TIPPING POINT fought back under jockey Mohamad Firdaus Mansor to win by a
short head.
"I was fortunate to be given the ride," said Firdaus who
was riding TIPPING POINT for the first time. "The horse began well, was
headed halfway down the straight but showed heart to fight back and win."
Winning trainer Lawson Moy said: "It was a nice win in
his age group. Hopefully he can carry his good form through the grades. Well
ridden by Firdaus."
