Three placings in Singapore
Takeover Target had to settle for eighth place in Singapore, but the Bel Esprits did a bit better with both Mooring and Perfect Sky getting placings, being beat by a bolter while Aranda came home third in his race ridden by Val Duric. Blue sky came home sixth in Hong Kong ridden by Dwayne Dunn in his second ride in that country
After the day got off to a shock result in Race 1 when Langstraat scored at debut at long odds of $149, punters were in for a bigger jolt when $217 bolter Dream Lad bounced back from a bleeding attack at his last run to score an all-the-way win in the $95,000 Japan Racing Association Trophy (1200m).
The Argentinian-bred by Bernstein flew out of the gates to take up the running with Barend Vorster the pilot and never looked back thereafter. Enjoying a soft lead on the bridle, Dream Lad swung for home still in the lead and soon opened up to a three-length break.
The Patrick Shaw-trained galloper looked to have given his 12 rivals the slip, with most of them battling to make up any ground. At the 150m, lightweight chance Mooring (Joao Moreira) was the only one who looked like he could be a threat, but though Dream Lad shortened strides, the winning post arrived on time for him to fall in by one length from Mooring, with Perfect Sky (Benny Woodworth) running on well for third another 1 ¼ length away.
