A Kosi hit-out 9 days ahead of Kranji Mile

Ghalib winning a Kranji barrier trial from Golden Monkey , Lim's Kosciuszko , Pacific Emperor and Street Of Dreams in a busy finish on May 9.Back to the set-weight conditions of the Group 1 Kranji Mile , Lim’s Kosciuszko looms as an almost insurmountable adversary on May 18.

It was only when eventual winner Ghalib upped the ante inside the last 200m that that competitive side in Lim’s Kosciuszko woke up ever so slightly. “He actually recovered really quickly even after such a tough win. He’s put the little weight he lost back on.Having had the Kermadec six-year-old under his care since 2021, Meagher sure knows what makes his horse tick.“My confidence levels are good, even if we can’t go to the well too often. But the thing is every time we have, he’s done well,” said Meagher.

A troublesome near-fore knee has been the scourge of the Wandjina six-year-old for most of a career which still yielded a Group 3 Singapore Three-Year-Old Sprint win in 2021 when prepared by Michael Clements. “You can’t expect much from him in trials because he’s not a 1,000m horse and he doesn’t warm up till the end.For a few days after the EW Barker Trophy, Meagher did toy with the idea of a three-pronged title defence of a race he won with Lim’s Kosciuszko in 2023.
