After three consecutive second placings, FRAAJILISTIC broke through for his first win in Singapore with a gutsy display in the Class 3 - 1400m handicap at Kranji here tonight.

Ridden for the first time by Craig Newitt, the four-year-old had to stave off a determined challenge by newcomer RIDE OF VALKYRIES before winning by half a length.

FRAAJILISTIC did not race as a juvenile but had 11 starts at three in New Zealand, winning four times including twice at Ellerslie.

The New Zealand gelding began his Singapore campaign with a sixth placing but had to play bridesmaid in his next three runs before his breakthrough tonight.

"He’s such a professional and genuine horse as you can tell from the good run he’s had right up to tonight," said Newitt.
