Talented THE MAREEBA MANGO
outclassed his rivals in his second outing of the year to capture the Class
3 - 1200m handicap at Sungei Besi here today.
The son of Snitzel, who was placed once in three starts at two and three in
his native Australia, has been plagued by leg problems after a promising
start in Singapore in 2020 where he had a win and second in as many starts
at Kranji.
He then spent 17 months, including the whole of the 2021 season, on the
sidelines before finishing first-up fourth in Malaysia in January last year.
Following that, THE MAREEBA MANGO was out for another nine months.
A change of trainer to Simon Dunderdale saw him with came back and scored in
two consecutive starts last November. But another enforced break followed,
and subsequently another change of trainer to Richard Lines in February this
year.
THE MAREEBA MANGO tried to make all the running in his latest comeback in a
Class 3 - 1075m sprint on the No. 2 track here two months ago but went down
second to the up-and-coming PROOF PERFECT who went on to contest the Penang
Sprint Trophy last Sunday.
With apprentice Cheah Wei Wen in the saddle once again today, THE MAREEBA
MANGO jumped well and led the proceedings early.
He was headed by a line of three horses, headed by ZANJABEEL approaching the
600m, and they stepped up the tempo. Cheah kept THE MAREEBA MANGO handy on
the rails and the pair eventually moved up second to follow ZANJABEEL home.
THE MAREEBA MANGO raced past ZANJABEEL passing the 400m and shot clear with
250m to go. He went on to win as he liked by three and three-quarter lengths
from HADEER.
"He is a very talented horse and he has improved considerably from his first
start (with me)," said Lines. "He has had leg problems in the past so it was
nice to run on a beautiful track today."
Jockey Cheah said: "They went fast today and I had a good seat, making them
work around me. In the straight, we just kicked away."
