Trainer Alvin Tan went into a mild panic late last week when he learned that Manoel Nunes was to ride Huka Falls in the Group 3 $200,000 Woodlands Handicap over 1200m on Friday.

Trainer Alvin Tan crept ever so closer to a maiden Group 1 success when Speedy Cat took out the opening Leg of the Singapore Four-Year-Old Challenge on Sunday.

It was billed as a match race but Speedy Cat proved a giant killer with his victory in the Group 3 $200,000 Merlion Trophy over 1200m on Friday night.

Trainer Alvin Tan could not have wished for a better 44th birthday present after Speedy Cat returned to racing with victory in the $125,000 Kranji Stakes A over 1200m on the Polytrack on Sunday.

Three-year-old Speedy Cat kept his unbeaten record intact when successful in the $75,000 Kranji Stakes C over 1100m on the Polytrack on Sunday.
