Trainer Desmond Koh’s two ‘black type’ winners Guru-Guru and Order Of The Sun are back into the fray this Friday and will both saddle up in the same race again.

The 2017 season kicked off in Singapore last week with a number of stand-out performances.

After missing the cut in the Dester Singapore Gold Cup, Guru-Guru got a nice form of redemption in the shape of a gritty win in the $200,000 Group 3 New Year Cup (1900m) on Sunday.

Emerging stayer Gilt Complex could not make the cut for the $1.35 million Group 1 Dester Singapore Gold Cup (2200m), but made up for the disappointment in the ‘Consolation Stakes’, the $80,000 Helping Hand Stakes, a Kranji Stakes C race over the same Gold Cup distance on Sunday.

Emerging stayer Bahana earned his ticket to the Dester Singapore Gold Cup after running his heart out to a hard-fought victory in the $150,000 Group 3 El Dorado Classic (2200m) on Sunday.
