January looks odds-on to recoup his last-start losses at the first February meeting at Kranji on Saturday.
The ultra-consistent three-year-old New Zealand-bred – five starts for two wins, two seconds and a third – is definitely a lot fitter after his first run for 2023.
And, more importantly, he is back over his winning surface (turf) and 1,400m trip.
He is also drawn favourably again in Gate 3 – the same as his last engagement – and is meeting just another average field.
Trained by Donna Logan for the Thai-owned Falcon Racing No. 7 Stable, the bay gelding by Swiss Ace was backed as if he had grown an extra pair of legs in his last start on Jan 14.
Despite racing on the Polytrack for the first time, race-goers jumped on the bandwagon and made him the $8 favourite in the Class 4 event over 1,100m.
It was obvious. He had the consistency and potential.
What was more, he had four-time Singapore champion jockey Manoel Nunes aboard.
But Lady Luck favoured Bionics that day.
