The current good run of leading trainer, Jason Ong continued with a stable treble at the Selangor Turf Club last Sunday and once again will be represented by several winning chances this Saturday on the eleven race program commencing at 12.45pm.

One of those is the ultra consistent six year old, OUTFIT which is yet to miss a place in six Malaysian starts and steps out in the 1020m Class 4B event (Race 4). Whilst the gelding won a couple of Class 5 contests at his first two runs in the country, he has maintained a strong presence at Class 4 level with four minor placings in succession. OUTFIT will have to overcome the outside barrier in the twelve horse lineup but he has the early pace to counteract that obstacle as displayed in previous performances on the inner track. TYPHOON could be his biggest rival with a slight advantage at the weights from pole positon. The five year old is coming off a fast finishing 4th after being trapped deep throughout over 1150m and unlike OUTFIT, he has already scored at Class 4 level.

The Ricky Choi stable is also going strong currently lying fifth on the trainers premiership strike rate of 20% and another galloper to win at his Malaysian debut, DRAGON CLAW gets his chance for a winning return in the 1200m Class 3 contest (Race 7). That debut win has been the five year old’s sole victory in the country so far but he has retained solid form since despite a couple of blemishes against the higher graders recently. Returning to Class 3 level last start, DRAGON CLAW closed off well when finishing runner up over 1200m here a fortnight ago indicating he has recaptured his best form and strikes a winnable race there on Saturday. BOY XANDER does look to be the likely leader in a race devoid of early speed and could be the one to catch if the breaks go his way. The seven year old should be primed third up and will benefit from the apprentice claim also.

ENGINE START is due for another win in the 1500m Class 4A contest (Race 8) after finishing in the bridesmaid spot at his past three outings. Punters may be starting to lose faith in the six year old as he was a beaten favourite in each of those runs. After failing to show up at his local debut in February, ENGINE START was freshened prior to an impressive 3.75L victory over the mile in a Class 5 contest on March 1. Carrying the 53.5kg with R Shafiq astride, the gelding could add another victory for the Jason Ong team. GRAND AVANTE on the class downgrade is one to watch however as he won at this level on his local debut back in January The gelding does possess a good second up record of three wins from seven preparations and finished runner up to Duel Group One winner, Lucky Magic during his last campaign.
