IPOH: Mar 2, 2019

MR DREYFUSS staged a dramatic turnaround of form to win a Class 5 - 1200m handicap here today.

The New Zealand gelding has been unplaced in his last eight starts after being placed in three consecutive races in the middle of last year. Worse still, he has finished no better than 12th in his five outings.

Not surprisingly, MR DREYFUSS started at long odds today but shocked punters with a runaway win.

After settling in midfield, MR DREYFUSS was still several lengths from the leader TRIPLE COIN at the top of the straight. But he opened up in fine style in the final 200m, not only overhauled the leader but kicked away to win by 5 1/4 lengths. He paid RM63.

MR DREYFUSS had a brief, unsuccessful campaign in Singapore before moving to Malaysia where he has now picked up six wins.
