DUNDERDALE'S FIGHTERS LOOK READY TO RUMBLE

So We Fight and Good Fight add the finishing touches to their preps for Dec 22

DUNDERDALE'S FIGHTERS LOOK READY TO RUMBLE

As expected, with the races at Sungai Besi looming large on Dec 22, most runners would have already been primed and pampered ahead of their tasks.

However, and as always, there was action on the training track and Dec 19 was no exception.

Sure, there were no signs of the cavalry charging over the sprint trip and there were no queues behind the 600m starting line.

But trainers did send out some of their Sunday soldiers - if only for light work.

Of course, there were some bright sparks. And a couple of "fighters".

Yes, "fighters" as in trainer Simon Dunderdale's runners, So We Fight and Good Fight.

Down to contest races three and six respectively on Dec 22, So We Fight loosened up by a strong canter while Good Fight went against the clock, running the 600m in a smart 38.8sec.

A seven-year-old by Super One, Good Fight has been putting together some fine results at his last handful of race starts.

Indeed, his last four runs going back to Oct 26 produced two fourths and a couple of second-place finishes. Yes, he looks the real deal in Race 6 - even if the 1,200m might seem a tad too short.
