Irish lass Emily Finnegan was off the mark in her third meeting in Singapore when she scored on GOL GOAL in the opening event at Kranji here today.

A little slow out of the gates, Finnegan slowly worked the Towkay gelding from the back of the field to win drawing away by 1 1/2 lengths.

"Shane (Baertschiger) told me he can be slow out of the gates and I was prepared for that. I just let him find his own feet, find his own rhythm and let him do his best work late," said Finnegan. "I’ve waited for a week to get the monkey off the back."

Finnegan is the ninth Dux of the South Australian Apprentice Academy to be the beneficiary of a short riding experience at Kranji as part of an agreement between Thoroughbred Racing South Australia and the Singapore Turf Club.

She will spend one more week in Singapore before returning to Adelaide where she is indentured to leading trainer Phillip Stokes.
