Former Kranji stayer Dream Alliance, Mega Gems, Golden Pegasus gear up on KL track
There is a big one coming up at the Selangor Turf Club on Dec 1 and trainer Lim Woei Chet or Wayne Lim as he is more popularly known in racing circles looks like he has the ammunition necessary to make a killing.
He has entered a team of three runners for the third leg of the Malaysian Group 1 Triple Crown Series the RM250,000 (S$ 75,400) Group 1 Piala Emas Sultan Selangor (2,000m) and all three Dream Alliance, Mega Gems and Golden Pegasus galloped on Nov 26.
Former Kranji stalwart Dream Alliance clocked 43.6sec in his leisurely hit-out, as did Golden Pegasus who was timed at 40.4sec.
The swiftest of the trio and most impressive of the lot was Mega Gems who tossed in a serious gallop, clocking 37sec for the 600m on a track rated good.
Lim would have been mighty pleased with all three of them, especially that smart show from Mega Gems.
True to his name, Mega Gems was shining bright.
Winner of the Group 1 Kawan ESG Coronation Cup at Ipoh on Nov 3, Mega Gems won that last start in fine fashion, coming from near last when the field straightened for the home run, to win going away over the 1,600m in 1min 34.98sec.
That was his first time over a bit of distance and he passed that test with flying colours.
