Leticia Dragon’s purple patch of form showed no signs of letting up after Flaunt landed the money in the $20,000 Open Maiden race over 1000m on Friday night.

With that latest victory, her seventh this season, the Singaporean trainer has leapfrogged by four spots to make it just outside the Top 10 on the Kranji log, one spot above last year’s champion Lee Freedman.

Following a training double with Super Six and the undefeated Nimble last weekend, Flaunt brings up her fourth winner in the space of three weeks, for a total haul of seven winners this year.

One thing is for sure. The regular visits at the winner’s circle has not made the former air-stewardess blasé.

“I’m so excited! The owners (Gallop Stable) and his friends are here tonight,” said Dragon. “It makes up for Spirit D’Wind’s defeat (third) in the first race earlier.

“It took a while for Flaunt to find his feet. He was disappointing at his last start, but I was hoping for a better performance tonight.”

Punters were obviously aligned to the trainer’s optimism as Flaunt was still well-backed into $22 despite the Argentinian-bred three-year-old’s last mediocre run in a Restricted Maiden race over 1000m a month ago.

Ridden with great confidence by two-time Singapore champion apprentice jockey Wong Chin Chuen, the son of Pure Prize sat in the firing line from a long way out, taking the trail on leader Aabir (Benny Woodworth) throughout.

Resuming after nearly a year off following a bleeding attack at his debut run in May 2018, Aabir put up a stiff resistance as Flaunt came testing him at the top of the straight.

For a moment, it did look like the Fortuna NZ Stable-owned son of O’Reilly could last it out, but Wong again showed why he was twice the top gun among the Kranji juniors as he unrelentingly pushed Flaunt to the line to eventually have the gelding’s neck in front where it mattered.

My Miracle (Marc Lerner) ran third another two and a quarter lengths away. Flaunt clocked 59.47secs for the 1000m on the Polytrack and has now grossed in excess of $35,000 courtesy of that win and two previous placings in seven outings.

“I was just worried about his gate speed as it was the first time I rode him,” said the Penang-born Wong.

“He jumped out very well from his outside barrier and came across easily by himself. I was not too worried he was three wide as he was always travelling well on the bridle.

“He just kept going in the straight. His momentum never stopped and he finished off very well.”
