Black Swan has hit a good patch again
Kranji barrier trials
BLACK SWAN, who ended a long drought with a last-start victory, can be followed again next time out.
The Steven Burridge-trained four-year-old caught the eye with a stylish come-from-behind win in the second of four trials at Kranji yesterday morning.
He has obviously come right again and is low enough to make it a double.
