Six exciting races lined up tomorrow

Kota Kinabalu: Local racing resumes with six exciting races lined up tomorrow (Sunday). Reliable Boyka is favourite in Race 4 (Novice) over 1,100 metres sand track.

Ratu Pantai and Lawa Dondo can be included for placings. Race 5 ((Initiation) over 1,000m sand track is a match-up between trusted Romantic Warrior and on form Imperial Girl. Imperial Girl secured second placing in her last two runs and she has swagger to challenge the warrior. Putra Rinaking loves to lead and he can gate crash. Puteri Seroja has vast experience and should be regarded. Race 6 (Initiation) over 1,000m sand track should be Magic Opa's golden moment. Hardworking and dependent, he is expected to cruise home. Challengers Victoria Glory and Marvelous One are proven quality and a cut above rest of the field. Simpangan Boy has speed and should be considered in the selections. Racing fans have plenty to look forward to this Sunday as well with 'live' telecast of races from Hong Kong and Perak. With the commingled totalisator pools for Hong Kong and Perak races, dividends are more stable. Royal Sabah Turf Club's (RSTC) Sabah Star is entered in Race 5 (Class 4/Div B) over 1,200m at Selangor Turf Club today (Saturday). His record over the past five runs have been disappointing to say the least. Lim's Unique is in a good moment and he can fight against favourite Joey. Both Wealthyness and Ironclad have ability to follow up with second straight win.
