Twice a winner over the Polytrack 1,000m trip, Sky Eye must be treated with utmost respect in Sunday's $70,000 sprint over that same distance.
Prepared by Jason Lim, Sky Eye is one of two runners from Lim's yard who have been entered for the Class 3 “flyer".
The other is Crystal Warrior.
An impressive winner two starts back when beating a Class 4 field by a commanding 21/2 lengths, Sky Eye was on his toes in a workout at Kranji yesterday morning.
Ridden by Manoel Nunes, who was the man in the driver's seat when winning that sprint on Feb 13, Sky Eye easily disposed of the 600m in 38.2 sec.
Bumped up a class after that impressive win, Sky Eye was sixth in his next start – which was his last start.
But less than three lengths separated the top six sprinters in that Poly 1,100m contest.
That day, Sky Eye tried to motor home with his front-running tactics. But the last 100m proved sapping and there was nothing he could do when Spirit Of Big Bang swooped on him in that lunge to the line.
