Chi Chai Sin Sang (NZ) (Per Incanto) brought up his second career win in Macau on Saturday.

The son of Per Incanto gave first season trainer Wayne Smith his eighth winner for the season with an impressive win in a Class 4 over 1200m, and giving apprentice Eric Cheung two winners for the weekend.

In a race run at good speed, Cheung was content to cross over from gate seven and park Chi Chai Sin Sang off the speed in the run. Eased into the clear on straightening the four-year-old powered down the outside to win running away.

In his early races Chi Chai Sin Sang was ridden for speed and on a few occasions was found wanting, he proved to benefit from the patient ride and looks to be able to step up further in the future.

Chi Chai Sin Sang was purchased out of Kilgravin Lodge’s 2017 Ready To Run draft and trialled in Australia before continuing his racing career in the Asian jurisdiction.
