A BETTER TOMORROW LOOMING

When you are at the races on May 12, make a note of the James Peters-trained runners.

You may just pick out a winner maybe a couple more.

The Englishman will be represented by just eight runners on the day but he was a busy man trackside on May 8, when almost all of his runners came out for a slice of morning trackwork.

Impressive among them were A Better Tomorrow, Fast And Fearless and Fountain Of Fame.

Of the three, A Better Tomorrow topweight in the penultimate card of 10 races on May 12 - drew the most attention.

He had race-rider Ruan Maia in the saddle when running the 600m in 39.3sec.

The Brazilian jockey was also astride Fountain Of Fame, engaged in Race 8, who ran out the trip in 41.4.

As for Fast And Fearless, who will be ridden by champion jockey Manoel Nunes in the opening event, he strode out in 37.9.

But, on an overcast morning at Kranji, A Better Tomorrow seemed to tick all the boxes.

One of the young ones in Peters' yard, the four-year-old by Awesome Rock will have track and trip in his favour.

Yes, the mile on the grass suits.
