There was just the one meeting in Singapore over the weekend which saw Faaltless claim the feature Kranji Stakes A over 1200m on Friday night.
From the inside draw, Faaltless pushed forward to take up the lead and never looked like getting run down, claiming a solid one and a half length win over Super Winner in third with Rafaello third.
The Shane Baertschiger-trained runner ran to a new career peak rating, slightly above what he achieved when winning the Group 3 Garden City Trophy three starts back.
Having returned with a terrific win in the Group 3 Garden City Trophy over this trip, the Shane Baertschiger-trained runner was then unable to measure up over the 1400m in the Group 3 Jumbo Jet Trophy.
Dropping back to the 1200m where he had won on six previous occasions appeared to do the trick and getting a soft lead throughout from the inside draw also played into this hands.
The seven-year-old gelding by Faltaat is still relatively lightly raced with only 25 starts to his name and if he can continue to run up to his rating achieved on Friday he should be very competitive in group racing going forward.
Of the beaten runners, Super Winner in second was able to bounce back from his disappointing effort the start prior in the Jumbo Jet Trophy and is another who appreciated the drop back to 1200m.
With the big weight of 59.5kg, Super Winner ran his highest rating since finishing third to Wimbledon in a Kranji Stakes A back in January, also carrying 59.5kg.
The resuming Rafaello in third also signalled his potential for a big campaign, returning a rating only slightly below his third placing in the Group 3 Rocket Man Sprint and should improve into his campaign.
The following race saw Jelly Bean return in good order with a win in the Class 3 over 1100m on the Polytrack.
Settling off the leaders in sixth, Jelly Bean edged closer coming to the turn and ran on strongly in the straight, taking over proceedings inside the 300m and survived the challenge from Golden Tomahawk to run out a half length winner.
Jelly Bean ran to a clear new career peak rating and certainly looks set for a nice preparation ahead following that win.
The consistent six-year-old mare has now featured in the placings 15 of her 19 career outings, winning four of them and had little luck in both outings last campaign.
The daughter of Darci Brahma certainly appears to have come back very well this campaign and is likely to continue to run well over the shorter distances.
Golden Tomahawk in second would have lost no admirers running on well from back in the field and ran the same rating as he achieved the start prior when third to Sir Isaac in then Kranji Stakes C.
