MY - Selangor Turf Club - Race 9

FRIEND OF HONOR (4) brings the most reliable winning case after his third to Rhythm Of Zen at this venue, when beaten just under two lengths as a dominant odds-on favourite. He has strong 6f depth, a sound track-and-distance profile and represents the leading trainer at this track, so the recent placing still looks the key form reference. CASH COVE (8) arrives off a decisive Class 5 win, scoring by just under three lengths from Pacific Power after heavy market support, and his four wins and six places from 21 starts at this track and distance make him the clear danger. MEGA SKYE (3) resumes after four months, but he ended last campaign with a solid second in Open grade and had won his previous start by three lengths, so his overall profile is strong enough to be respected fresh. GOOD SORT (5) lacks the winning edge of the main pair, yet her recent third and fifth were both in open markets and barrier one gives her a genuine chance to run into the minor money.
