Promising performers GOOD STAR and PACIFIC STAR are set for an enthralling battle in the 1800m Merdeka Cup at Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.

Good Star , runner up in the recent 4YO Selangor Mile, has made rapid inroads since coming across from Australia and deserves a victory after some encouraging efforts from wide barriers. The gelding possesses a sharp sprint and will be suited stepping up to the trip for the first time.

Pacific Star  chalked up the hat trick in his toughest test against Supreme C company at the track and distance and enters the RM100,000 feature in peak form. PACIFIC WARRIOR heads the weights and is likely to lead in search of a winning hat trick while PLATINUM GLORY has lowered the colours of PACIFIC STAR in a previous encounter.
