Singapore Racing - Weekend Review - Sacred Croix A Must Follow

Despite only winning a Kranji Stakes D event on Friday night, the Mark Walker trained Sacred Croix is a must follow, he will be winning plenty.

Lining up at just his third start, Sacred Croix took a good step forward when launching late in the second event.

An impressive maiden winner the start prior, Sacred Croix again reeled off some very slick sectionals to land the prize.

Ridden by Benny Woodworth, Sacred Croix found a good spot midfield, one off the fence with the Steven Burridge trained Everybody Happy taking up the running.

Close to 5L off the lead passing the 600m, Sacred Croix spotted the leaders a decent start with the first three slipping away into the straight.

While not one to panic, Woodworth pulled him to the centre, before unleashing Sacred Croix inside the 300m.

Everybody Happy gave a good kick out in front and looked home, before Sacred Croix really knuckled down late.

His last 200m was ultra impressive, grabbing Everybody Happy in the last stride.

While only a narrow margin, the sectionals tell a completely different story.

Had he run his race more efficiently, he has close to 5L up his sleeve and he is bred to be even better over further.

Returning a Timeform rating of 68 on Friday night, he can continue his rise through the grades and is a must for your blackbook.

The fact he has only won by narrow margins is also in our favour, as it has somewhat hidden just how well he is going.

When looking at sectional mark ups/adjustments, he has the ability to win a Class 3/Kranji Stakes C event.

Off his rating of 61 he is likely to be seen in Class 4 company at his next outing and should prove very very hard to beat.
