MY - Selangor Turf Club - Race 9

BANKER'S TWO SIX (2) was a winner two back at this track then was competitive last time when fourth over 1 ¼m at Perak, beaten only 1.2 lengths. This is his optimum trip with three wins from four starts and shapes as a key contender. RUMEUR (9) hasn't been far away recently including last time out when second over 6 ½f at this track. Given a five-week freshen up and with the light weight makes plenty of appeal. ANTIPODEAN (1) finished 16th two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 7f at this track, beaten 5 lengths. The engagement of B Pinheiro is noteworthy. Steps up a level but he is up to the task. ALWAYS A GENTLEMAN (3) had been in sparkling form winning two races on end but missed the frame most recently when tenth over 6f at Group 1 level at this track. One of the better hopes back in this more suitable race.
