The eight-year-old who placed fourth to Crescendo last week, can step up on that effort to reassert his dominance and end a long losing sequence.
The Beraya Stable’s roan galloper, who has been racing under the radar, can find his strides and challenge strongly for supremacy. Wind Chaser, second to Crescendo last week, deserves another chance. To be ridden by Roslan Bujang this time around, the eight-year-old can step up a notch.
Don’t write off Geronimo in Race Two (Class Four – 1000M).
The former Class One racer can atone for his disappointing showing last week with a reversal of fortune today. With a better rider (Jasmi Kamar) up, the seven-year-old should stamp his class against an average field of fourth division runners.
