After ticking the boxes in both his trial and final gallop, the ultra-consistent General Command is set to score his fifth victory from eight Kranji starts on Sunday – in the Class 2 race over 1,100m. Furthermore, the five-year-old by Shalaa will be back on his pet...
He finished second and third, both over 1,200m. The third placing was in his last start on July 8, also in the top class.The hotshot rider was aboard when General Command ran a terrific second behind Illustrious in his Poly 1,000m trial on Aug 3.It must be noted that, while Illustrious was pushed by Bruno Queiroz, General Command was untaxed.The two horses will cross swords again on Sunday, but General Command is obviously the far superior horse.
“And, yes, I think he is a better horse on the Poly than grass – and the 1,100m is his best distance.” “Nunes was happy with his gallop this morning, just hope we have a good draw,” said the former champion jockey.Lim conceded that he has not had General Command for long to understand him yet. But he was happy with how the horse handled the work so far.
