The Selangor Gold Cup formline has stacked up very well at the same Sungai Besi track a fortnight later with three winners and three placings.
Seven from the mile feature field were out to do battle on Sept 21 and 22, with the Gold Cup winner Antipodean not one of them.
The three winners were Berry Bliss (sixth in the Selangor Gold Cup), Awesome Storm (eighth) and Military Flag (ninth) while Golden Pegasus (second), Good Fight (third) and Trigger Pegasus (10th) finished in the money.
Only Cheval Blanc (seventh) missed a minor spot, but still ran creditably for a fourth place behind the Berry Bliss-Golden Pegasus-Good Fight trifecta in a Metro A (1,700m) on Sept 22.
In the process, Berry Bliss, a six-year-old by Charm Spirit outstayed the Cup place-getters to claim his 11th win in 25 starts.
Following his tooth-and-nail fight with Antipodean before going down by a head in the Cup, Golden Pegasus unsurprisingly started odds-on.
