NOVA SWISS, TERMS OF REFERENCE and CONSTANT JUSTICE all won their trials impressively at Kranji yesterday but another that also pleased was a runner-up, SPEEDY PHOENIX.

Trained by David Kok, the three-year-old grey American-bred could also have won his trial if given his head.

After sitting midfield, Speedy Phoenix moved up into a striking position on straightening. You could see that Nunes had a lapful of horse underneath him as he chased the leader and eventual winner, SATTAR.

Despite being hard held, Speedy Phoenix closed in very fast and could easily have won had Nunes intended to.

The one-time winner from three starts is truly a horse to follow.
