There is a lot to like about Silent Is Gold in Saturday’s $70,000 Class 3 event over 1,400m (long course). He is the horse to beat for many reasons. For starters, the Stephen Gray-trained four-year-old Australian-bred is in sizzling form and has only six rivals...
At his penultimate outing on March 18, he notched his fourth success under jockey Ronnie Stewart.He beat the promising General Command, who franked the form by winning his next start on April 1.He was shouted the winner until trainer Jason Lim’s Kranji’s horse of the moment Super Salute produced a tad more to deny him of victory.As we all know now, Super Salute went on to culminate his six-in-a-row feat last Sunday with a fantastic victory in the $150,000 Group 2 EW Barker Trophy over 1,400m.
The good thing is, while Super Salute proceeded to achieve something great in a higher grade, Silent Is Gold is back in Class 3. This certainly stands him in good stead. Although he is handicapped as the top weight with 59kg, Gray has engaged apprentice jockey Fahmi Rosman for his 4kg claim.What is more, Silent Is Gold has balloted a nice barrier – Gate 2.Either way, Saturday’s race looks like his to lose.
