LIM'S KOSCIUSZKO THE BEST BY TWO MILES

Nothing can stop Meagher’s champion as he equals Rocket Man’s 20-win record

- Michael Lee

Kranji megastar Lim's Kosciuszko produced yet another exhilarating performance to record back-to back wins in the $1 million Group 1 Kranji Mile (1,600m) on May 18.

The $7 favourite was hard to topple at set weights, even with nine of Kranji's finest milers all out to claim his scalp.

They came, they saw, but they just could not conquer a bombproof machine yet again - even if one did try to turn giant killer late.

Leader Street Of Dreams (Bernardo Pinheiro) kept him honest on his outside from the start.

But as Lim's Kosciuszko (Marc Lerner) came upsides barely out of second gear upon cornering, it was "goodbye and sweet dreams".

The chasers were also struggling when Singapore's kingpin put two lengths on them.

It was the script most had expected on a level-playing field: The cream rising to the top.
