Several runners who have been entered for the 12-race Selangor action on Oct 5 came out of the Sungai Besi trials on Sept 30 looking like they were all good to go.

The two “hot ones” were Spicy Babe in Trial 2, and Good Chilli from the third hit-out.

Richard Mule and War Sniper, who both trialled on the sand in the fifth and last jump-out of the morning, also drew notice.

But the standouts were Spicy Babe and Good Chilli, and it could pay to give them plenty of attention in both their races coming up.

Starting next to the rails, Spicy Babe jumped cleanly and led from Jungle King, Aurish Star and Trees Of Valinor.

The Jukebox five-year-old soon seemed tired of the attention. With 600m to travel, she cleared away from the pack.

Up in the saddle, Uzair Sharudin could have done the crossword puzzle, such was his mount’s dominance.

Eventually, the gutsy mare cruised to the line a five-length winner, wrapping up the trip in 1min 0.38sec.
