Three Interesting Fortuna Runners in Singapore this weekend

Two Fortuna runners, the 6yo READY FORTUNE and 5yo KING SAVINSKY clash in Race 1, a Class 5 event over 1700 metres, at Singapore’s Kranji racecourse Friday 26th February. Both have dropped back in Class and both have strong credentials. READY FORTUNE has won four times in Class 5 and is a dangerous lightweight with just 53kgs to carry; to be ridden by the promising apprentice CK NG. A get back type of runner, he will be storming home at the finish. KING SAVINSKY is a two win horse in Singapore after having previously won once in NZ. A big, strapping son of Savabeel, he is primed for this race and will be ridden by Champion apprentice (but now a senior rider) SHAFIQ RUSOF, from a good barrier draw.

Race 1 on Sunday features the 5yo DOUBLE JEOPARDY, one of the best performed Maiden Runners in Singapore. Off the scene for a mandatory three month stand down after suffering a bleeding attack last November, he is a very interesting runner. A natural staying type, the Class 5 1200 metre trip is, on paper, too short for him, but a look at his past form reveals that he is very capable of running this sort of trip very strongly in a fresh state. To be ridden by CK NG (who takes 4kgs off his back) from barrier 4, he presents some danger to this field.
