PACIFIC RIVER DROWNS ALL HIS RIVALS AT THE TRIALS

Former Kranji trainer David Kok's latest recruit impresses with a 15-length win
Former trainers from Kranji were all business at the six trials run over the 1,000m on Dec 17.
Richard Lim took the opening sprint.
Then came David Kok. He took the second trial which left Jason Ong who wrapped things up, taking the fourth and fifth jump-outs.
Yes, it was a good day at the office for the three Singapore stalwarts, who have already signalled their intentions to take the fight to their "hosts" in the season of racing coming up shortly.
Their winners on the day were Dream Alliance in Trial One, Pacific River in the second. Pacific Sonic in Trial Four and Pacific Beauty in the fifth.
Yes again. It was a flowing day for the Pacific Stable, who also had Pacific Empire losing out only by a nose to trainer Lim Shung You's Ototo in the third sprint and Pacific Scout filling the third spot in Trial 4.
Satisfactory, it sure was. Especially for Kok who saw his runner, Pacific River, drown his rivals to take the honours by a massive 15 lengths.
Only recently sent over to Kok's yard after being with Tiang Kim Choi for all of the current season, Pacific River has an impressive portfolio which reads three wins, a second and a third from just 10 starts.

Study option of extending rail corridors instead of new lines
