Trainer Jerome Tan has boosted his stock and three of his newbies emerged at the trials on Tuesday.
All of them impressed, especially Sacred Command.
With all three runners contesting Trial No. 2, Tan had a good chance to dominate, and that was exactly what he did.
Well, that was what Sacred Command did.
The five-year-old put on wings over the concluding stages of the 1,000m hit-out to beat the Donna Logan-trained Eastiger by a neck.
As for the other Tan triallers, Lucky Baby ran third another head away while Energy Baby ran sixth.
But, on the morning when rain stayed away from the track, it was all about Sacred Command.
With Akmazani Mazuki doing the steering, the son of Epaulette settled in third behind Lucky Baby and Energy Baby for the Tan "trifecta".
The threesome cleared the 600m as one, with the rest of the five runners strung out behind them.
Into the home stretch and the apprentice got to work.
