Lightweight duo set for Gl Coronation Cup, Wilamara spot-on for S’pore Pools Trophy

- Brian Miller

The Group 1Coronation Cup will be run on Novi6 and the spotlight will shift to the Perak Turf Club, where the feature event will see 12 runners vying for glory over the mile.

While the RM250,000 (S$78,000) contest is the highlight, the undercard is also rather impressive.

There is the RM100,000 Singapore Pools Trophy (1,200m) and two other trophy races — the JRA Goodwill Trophy (1,200m) and the Royal Sabah Turf Club Goodwill Trophy (1,400m) - that will add further glamour to the afternoon’s action.

So while it is all quiet on the Selangor front, trackwork was in full swing on the Ipoh racetrack where several contenders for the named races were out strutting their stuff on the training track.

Prominent among them were Leong Ma Biscuit and Man Of Action who will be contesting the Coronation Cup.

While the pair may not look like two of the glamour horses in the lineup, their work on the training track did suggest that they are both ready to put in a bid for the crown.

In separate gallops, Leong Ma Biscuit clocked 38.5sec for the 600m, while Man Of Action stopped the clock at 39sec.

The Ismadi Ismail-trained Leong Ma Biscuit has what it takes to win races.
