It was a tight finish with Honest Broker second and Gordon Roberts, who had led for most of the race,
staying on for third. Martial Art ran fourth and was running on well and probably not helped by lack ofpace in the race.
Race 8 the Open Benchmark 97 over 1000m saw former kiwi Coup Align break through for his first
Singapore win. Mr Timely was second and Primera Espada third, and Powerful Ruler fourth.On Friday Captain Obvious performed like an obvious choice defeating Ato, Maurice Utrillo and Apache
Crown in the Kranji A over 1400m.
