PACIFIC ATLANTIC HAS THE FORM TO SWAMP HIS RIVALS

Red Maned and Lucky Goal also work well and are worth including in Sept 7 watchlist

- Brian Miller

With the final running of the Queen Elizabeth II Cup slotted in for Sept 7, the action is going to be hot and furious.

After all, it leads to the Grand Singapore Gold Cup on Oct 5 which is the really big one.

But the QEII Cup has always been sentimental and it still has a pull on the heartstrings. This year's running is no exception.

But, to get to it, racegoers at Kranji and elsewhere will first have to negotiate an interesting undercard which will feature some exciting horses.

Most were out doing their stuff on the morning of Sept 3 and prominent among the "workers" with assignments on Sept 7 were Pacific Atlantic, Red Maned and Lucky Goal.

Now, when was the last time you did NOT see a horse win in the colours of the Pacific Stable? The answer is: Too long ago.

At the Sept 1 meeting, Pacific Sonic greeted the judge. And before that, on Aug 25, Pacific Vampire carried the jockey in those orange and white silks to a popular win.

The list could go on... but it will take up too much space.

So we will look to the immediate future 1 Sept 7 and try to point you in the right direction.
