WATCH AKHTAR AT KRANJI ON SATURDAY

Trainer Jason Ong hopes that the King Power Stable-owned Akhtar can win on his Singapore debut in the SG$50,000 Class 4 race over 1100m on Saturday after Cavalry won in the same colours four days ago.

On Saturday, the much-touted Cavalry made his Kranji debut for trainer Michael Clements and won comfortably by one- and-three-quarter lengths at Class 3 level over 1400m. The Taupo Cup (2000m) winner (when known as Tutukaka) and half-brother to Kiwi champion mare

Melody Belle has since been aimed at a second-up run in the Group 1 Singapore Derby (1800m) on July 23.

Akhtar, on the other hand, arrived with less fanfare than Cavalry.
