Better Than Ever almost as good as ever

Better Than Ever had a welcome return to the winner's stall at Kranji on Sunday after winning the feature G1 Kranji Mile.

With 100m to go there were chances in every direction but the champ came through to win this race for

the second consecutive year, followed home by a strong run from Clear For Action who looked the winner

with 50m to go and the ever reliable Waikato third and Trafalgar Legacy fourth -no excuses for the beaten

brigade except perhaps for Speed Baby who had a tough race.

Earlier The Commedian won the 1400m Open in nice style from Apache Crown and the flyig Silveron

Wings.

There was another flying finish in the Open 1600m on Friday when Superczar came from the clouds but

could not get past Paulinho and Nandowra. Lockdown was not a bad run in fourth.
