Interestingly, last-start winner SAFEER has a knack for winning his trials.

For the fourth time at Kranji yesterday, the Ricardo Le Grange-trained youngster won again, which was by far his best win.

The manner he got up to beat his higher-class stablemate Elusive Emperor, albeit by a short head, was very impressive, indeed.

Ridden by jockey Nooresh Juglall for his 1,000m-blinkers' test, Safeer sat in fourth spot early, as I've Got A Feeling disputed the lead with Speedy Demon, with Elusive Emperor third.

Speedy Demon seemed to try and jump the running rail when whipped by Olivier Placais on straightening and lost ground. I've Got A Feeling was left in front, chased by Elusive Emperor, who overtook the leader close home but found no answer to stablemate Safeer's strong finish.

In his three other trials, Safeer also came out tops - on May 9 (1min 10.98sec), on June 29 (1:01.06) and on July 20 (59.68sec). Yesterday, he clocked 59.37sec.
