KUALA LUMPUR : Jan 15, 2026

Last start winner MEGA CRUSADER looks a chance to defy the class upgrade when he contests the 1275m KL Bird Stakes on Saturday.

MEGA CRUSADER opened his winning account in emphatic style against Class

5 company over 1150m here on January 3 when leading throughout. The three year old was able to find the front from barrier eleven and never looked in danger when accounting for his rivals by 3.75 lengths.

MEGA CRUSADER will drop 6kg on the upgrade this weekend and his customary gate speed will place him in good stead to establish successive victories for the Richard Lines stable.
