Singapore racing continues on Sunday (12 February) for a 12-race turf and dirt fixture at Kranji Racecourse.
Exciting four-year-old STREET OF DREAMS can continue his winning ways this Sunday when he lines up in the $100,000 Kranji Stakes A race over 1400m.
STREET OF DREAMS has become unstoppable since breaking his maiden in October last year, winning his last four starts in emphatic fashion. Despite rising to Class 3 for the first time at his latest outing, the Dundeel gelding sat just off the speed and hit the front near the 200m, before toughing it out to land a narrow but impressive win.
There is plenty of merit to the victory as the early sectionals were the fastest amongst all the races that day.
This week, STREET OF DREAMS tests his mettle against some of Kranji’s best. The up-and-comer takes on reigning Gold Cup winner HONGKONG GREAT, star South African galloper KATAK and other quality gallopers including CYCLONE, MR BLACK BACK and SKY EYE.
However, with most of the aforementioned horses resuming and with bigger goals ahead, it paves the way for STREET OF DREAMS to score a fifth straight win given he’s right down the bottom of the weights.
Elsewhere, the Tim Fitzsimmons-trained three-year-old POPEYETHESAILORMAN looks all set to shed his maiden tag in the $75,000 Restricted Maiden over 1400m on turf.
POPEYETHESAILORMAN is at his fourth career start on Sunday and he arguably should have won his first-up run over 1200m as he was held up for clear running from the 500m until passing the 200m. He had to be taken out abruptly to improve into clear running from there while the eventual winner had a free passage throughout.
Once taken out, he ate up the line late to check home a strong second place, beaten 1.75 lengths. With an unimpeded run this week, while looking ideally suited up in trip, he can get the job done.
