Artois UP FOR ANOTHER ROUND

Another Capitalist progeny, Red Sky, also looks bright when going against the clock

As expected on the morning of Feb 26, there was little fast action tossed in by the runners engaged in the Il-race programme coming up at Sungai Besi on Feb 28.

A few exceptions still emerged, such as debut winner Artois.

Despite a good gallop on the morning of Feb 24 when he ran the 600m in 37.9sec, the Capitalist four-year-old came out for a wee bit more to keep his mind on the job ahead.

The Simon Dunderdale-trained galloper takes on some nippy characters in that Class 4A sprint over the 1,200n, slated as Race 6.

Two rounds of trotting would have Artois all topped up for his attempt to make it two wins from as many Malaysian starts.
