South African Trainer Ricardo Le Grange took out the $50,000 Class 4 Division 1 race over 1200m on Saturday at Kranji with the Fred Crabbia owned Water Rocket.
Jumping on terms, Water Rocket was sent straight to the head of affairs by Ruin Maia. Lims Bestbreaker (APP Wh Kok) ran on strongly for second but was no match for the gutsy son of Orpen who has now won four times in the famous Rocket Man silks.
