Top Australian jockey Corey Brown could not have hoped for a better script when he kicked off his Singapore stint with a winner at his very first day of riding on Sunday.

It is rare for champion jockey Joao Moreira to go winless at a Singapore race meeting. With 174 winners to his credit in season 2012, Moreira is usually on the winner’s board early in the programme.

South African veteran jockey Felix Coetzee is oozing confidence ahead of Rocket Man's assignment in Sunday's Group 1 Lion City Cup (1200m), qualifying his condition as “better” than in Dubai.
