The first thing jockey Michael Rodd did after jumping off Friday winner Dusseldorf was to thank his colleague Matthew Kellady for his selflessness in sharing pointers about the quirky galloper.

After 12 vain attempts at Kranji, Dusseldorf finally opened his local account with a convincing victory in the $45,000 Class 4 Non Premier race over 1200m on Polytrack on Friday night.

Prince Alexander will look to continue his strong recent form when he lines up in the Class 4 Non Premier (1200m) at Kranji tonight.
