Selangor Race Preview: Sunday - 4th May 2025
The 1600m Chairman’s Trophy Race 9) will headline the twelve race program from Selangor Turf Club this Sunday commencing at 12.15pm.
Progressive performer, Golden Pegasus will head the weights in the RM100,000 Listed feature and will strip fitter second up this campaign. The five year old resumed from a four month break when finishing 4th behind one of the country's best in Antipodean over 1400m here on April 5, beaten 2.5 lengths. With a record of six wins from sixteen starts, including minor placings in two Group Ones last year, GOLDEN PEGASUS appears well handicapped against his own age bracket and looks a measuring stick with former premiership jockey, KC Wong riding the gelding for the first time. CINNAMON BLAZE is a lightly raced five year old who is gradually working his way through and has created a big impact despite winning his Maiden in January. The Charles Leck trained gelding has come a long way in a short space of time and will be competitive despite facing his toughest assignment so far in his short career.
From the trial session here Tuesday weeks ago, WAR STAR looked the most impressive and will be attempting to atone for his last start defeat in the 1020m Class 4A contest (Race 10). Winning the trial by an effortless eight lengths, he appears on track for a winning return, WAR STAR scored on his Malaysian debut over Sunday's track and distance on March 23 where he was heavily supported to start an even favourite. The four year old goes up against the consistent OUR SECRET WEAPON, which is a fast beginner and is suited by the tighter inner track while another consistent performer SUPER POSH was runner up to WAR STAR and can easily reverse the result on current form.
