| SUPER SALUTE holds on for his fourth
consecutive win - SNTC photo |

SUPER SALUTE took advantage of a
big drop in the weights to capture the Class 2 - 1200m sprint at Kranji here
today to make it four consecutive wins.
After finishing fourth in his Singapore debut, the Australian gelding has
gone from strength to strength.
With Mamoel Nunes unable to make the allotted weight of 50kg, Krisna
Thangamani took the ride on the son of I Am Invincible. Although the jockey
won just one race in the new season prior to today, he handled the job
perfectly.
SUPER SALUTE settled just off the pace in fifth spot early, moved up to
fourth at the home turn, then raced past SILENT IS GOLD who had taken the
lead at the 200m to win by half a length from QUARTER BACK who was flashing
home near the line.
"I was worried about his barrier issues, so when he
fly-jumped, I panicked a bit. I think most jockeys would, as he was the
favourite in a good race," said Krisna.
"But he picked up straightaway and put himself into a
nice position. I had a good horse (SILENT OF GOLD) to follow, so when I got
off the fence, I knew we had a very good turn of foot and had a good chance
to win.
"QUARTER BACK came quick though. I knew I had won but I
was watching him until the line."
SUPER SALUTE raced 15 times for two seasons in Australia
for a win and four placings which included a second in the Group 2 Breeders'
Plate at Randwick at two.
