The progressive performer ANSU has rapidly climbed through the classes in six local starts and appears well-positioned to achieve a hat-trick of wins in the 1400m Class 3 contest at Kuala Lumpur on Saturday.
ANSU will be entering the race with back-to-back wins on his home track over 1300m and 1400m, the latest being a leading performance in his first attempt in Class 3 company. The five-year-old received strong support from the market, securing victory with 50kg after the 3kg claim for apprentice Tuan Ammar.
Upon arriving in Malaysia, ANSU had a record of one win from ten starts, breaking the maiden tag on debut back in January 2021. Since joining Simon Dunderdale earlier this year, this former Kiwi galloper has found his stride and is expected to add to his winning tally this weekend.
Clarton on a Treasure hunt first-up
The nine-year-old gelding CLARTON TREASURE is in a favorable position to secure a first-up win in the Class 4 Division A Handicap over 1200m at Kuala Lumpur on Saturday.
CLARTON TREASURE has been a consistent performer in Malaysia, capturing four wins from 16 starts and securing six additional placings. He is returning to the races after finishing in third place in early June.
This evergreen galloper performs exceptionally well when fresh, boasting two wins from nine first-up appearances. Moreover, he displayed good form in a recent trial, indicating that he is well-prepared and ready for a strong performance this weekend.
