Kante before the Ready to Run Sale
Kante quickened stylishly in the straight, surging through in between the two leaders, and he claimed top honours by a neck in a desperate battle to the finish.
Kante was the least experienced runner in Sunday's field, lining up for just his second career appearance. The Evert Van Breukelen-trained runner now boasts a perfect two-from-two record and has earned more than RM150,000 (NZ$54,000).
A close relative of the multiple Group 1-winning sprinter Atomic Force(Danehill Dancer), Kante was bought at Karaka by Mr Ooi Tang Beng & Mrs Chew Siew Ean, who selected him from the draft of Westbury Stud.
