Progressive sprinter Kam’s Comet capitalised on a sweet run in transit and a rails run to land the Amcham Cup at Kranji in Friday night.

While favourite punters were left lamenting as favourite Kiwi Karma was running in to dead ends, jockey Manoel Nunbe gave Kam’s Comet a sweet run behind the speed and speared him through on the fence for a dominant win in the benchmark 89 over 1000 metres.

The race was expected to signal a winning return for classy mare Kiwi Karma after running fourth last campaign in two of Singapore premier Group 1 races, the Krisflyer International Sprint and the Lion City Cup.

But the hopes of favourite punters looked forlorn from the jump with Kiwi Karma slow into stride and settling at the rear of the field.

The mare tracked into the race on the bend but apprentice Kif Toh could not find clear running for Kiwi Karma, eventually hooking her to the outside where she ran on into fourth place.

Kam’s Comet though earned his victory and is a gelding heading for better things.

It was the four-year-old’s fifth victory from nine starts and he achieved a new peak rating to show there is more improvement to come.

Kam’s Comet’s will to win was perhaps his most encouraging attribute on Friday night and when gaining the run he really put his rivals to the sword and savaged the line hard.

He ran out a 2.5 length victor over the ever-consistent Mycaptainoblivious, who had beaten Kam’s Comet at their previous clash in a class three over 1100 metres.

Secret Mission ran his best race for some time to finish third.

Speed machine Sebas ran slick time in landing his fifth career win from 15 stars, all victories coming at the 1000 meter scamper.

Sent straight to the front by Toh, the four-year-old travelled like a winner throughout and packed too many guns in winning the class 3 in a time of 58.39.

He had a length to spare on the line over Ninetyseven Gold with Eatons Gold third.

Mr Fantastic showed a strong finishing burst and plenty of toughness to win the class four over 1200 metres.

Ridden along early after setting well back, he wound up strongly for Barend Vorster early in the straight and made a sustained run to hit the lead and then hold off the late charge of Host The Nation with Storm Trooper a close third.

It was Mr Fantastic’s third career win from 13 starts at his first run since October.

Bourbon Goldman came from last to beat a handy field in the Kranji Stakes over 1700 metres, the feature event at Singapore’s Sunday meeting.

With Ws Chan settling Bourbon Goldman at the rear, the race looked to be in the keeping of Majestic Moments, who had burst to the front and was holding the challenge of Blossoms Sequel.

But when Chan wound up Bourbon Goldman out wide the gelding responded, lengthening impressively to finish over his rivals and win by three-quarters of a length.

It was Bourbon Goldman’s first win since January 2014 but he matched his career best rating.

Mr Nevermind looked one of the more progressive winners on the program in taking out the novice over 1200 metres.

A veteran of just four starts, the win was Mr Nevermind’s second and he overcame difficulties when hooked out of a pocket in the straight by jockey Rizuan Shafiq to run down Golden Mile in the finals stages.

Roselli also shaped as a future winner by running a closing second to the capable Blue Diamond in the class four over 1100 metres.

The former New Zealander has now been runner-up at both of his starts since arriving in Singapore and looks to have his hoof on the till.
