Proof he is fine
after Perfect start in Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR: Jun 18, 2023 |
|
|
PROOF PERFECT scored first-up in
Malaysia after a long layoff to deny THE MAREEBA MANGO a hattrick in the
Class 3 - 1075m handicap at Sungei Besi here today. All races were run on
the No 2 track.
THE MAREEBA MANGO, who scored back-to-back wins last November and was racing
for the first time since, was the odds-on favourite and attempted to make
all the running.
The leader came under pressure and ran about at the top of the straight.
MALAYSIA CAPTAIN ranged alongside him on the rails at the 300m and was
momentarily in front at one stage.
PROOF PERFECT, meanwhile, settled off the pace in fifth spot early before
moving up to fourth at the top of the straight.
THE MAREEBA MANGO raised another effort and beat off MALAYSIA CAPTAIN at the
150m. But PROOF PERFECT got going at this stage and opened up in fine style
to overhaul the leader to win by 3/4 length.
PROOF PERFECT raced for three seasons in Australia for three wins and three
placings in nine starts. He won another three races in 20 runs in Singapore
before moving to Ipoh to join trainer Stephen Cook.
"Very please to win," said Cook. "I have to thank Golden Stable who
supported me to buy this horse. He will be better suited racing on the main
track."
"He didn't jump too well and I have to settle behind the pace," said jockey
MM Firdaus. "He responded well in the straight when I put the pressure on
him."
Firdaus completed a double when he
partnered SIMLONG BEACH later.
