Mokastar impresses in Kranji trial
Debut runner-up MOKASTAR showed he was ready to go one better with an impressive trial victory at Kranji yesterday morning.
The Ricardo Le Grange-trained two-year-old tracked the leader Crazy Dreams with two-year-old newcomer Kiss Your Song, who was hard held.
Kiss Your Song hit the front 300m out, chased by Mokastar, who unleashed a strong burst to win by half a length. He should be winning soon.
Kiss Your Song, a strong and muscular type, must also be closely watched.
The Shane Baertschiger-trained juvenile had already served notice by winning his first trial on May 23.
