MEAGHER EYEING ELUSIVE BOWL

Australian handler bullish about his rising star Lim’s Saltoro lifting Group 3 feature

- 

Thanks mainly to some very useful types in Lim's Lightning and Lim's Kosciuszko, trainer Daniel Meagher has won most Group races on offer in Singapore.

Given the dominance of his two stable stars over the last four or so years, the fact that the Silver Bowl (1,400m) has eluded the 40-yearold Australian conditioner is an oddity.

But it can be rectified on June 9 when Meagher saddles two runners in the $110,000 feature, with Lim's Saltoro and January among the eight nominations.

Lim's Saltoro, in particular, looks a huge winning chance to knock in what would be his first Group victory, with a race record that stands at six wins and one narrow defeat in only seven career starts.

And it may have been an unblemished record, bar his being beaten only a short head, by the unmovable force that is his stablemate Lim's Kosciuszko, in the Group 2 EW Barker (1,400m) on April 21.
