The Michael Freedman trained Super Easy made a brilliant Singapore debut
last night in the $55,000 Class 4 (1000m) race on the polytrack, winning by
the easiest of five lengths.

Now a resident of the Singapore racing ranks, Super Easy (NZ) (Darci Brahma
x Parfore) began his racing career under New Zealand trainer John Sargent.
A winner of both of his trials in Cambridge in November last year, Super
Easy showed his promise on the track when winning his debut at Trentham,
beating the tough filly Planet Rock (Fastnet Rock) in the process.

His next race came in the Group 3 Eclipse Stakes where he met the brilliant
filly Anabandana (Anabaa) and, in a stride for stride battle down the
Ellerslie straight, the filly took the honours by a nose.

His last start in New Zealand saw him notch up a brave fourth in New
Zealand's richest two-year-old event, the Karaka Million, where he was
trapped wide and ran a tough race before being run down in the shadows of
the post.

Last night's return to the track has proven that his six month break from
the races has done nothing to dampen his ability. Jumping in the lead for
jockey Joao Moreira, Super Easy travelled beautifully in transit and was
never challenged in the straight as he strode away effortlessly to record a
five-and-three-quarter length victory over the field.

"He's a horse that has some good scope about him," said his trainer Michael
Freedman, "so we will just take him along quietly and hopefully we will
have a lot of fun with him.

"He's growing into a lovely sort of horse and if he continues to develop
the way I think he will then he could be a lovely horse for the
Three-Year-Old Series next year."

Super Easy is from the first crop of the five-time Group 1 winning son of
Danehill in Darci Brahma whose first crop also includes the stakes winner
Darci Be Good, the winner of the Listed Fernhill Handicap in Australia last
season.

Super Easy was bred by M J Ryan and was offered by Esker Lodge at the 2010
Karaka Premier Sale where he was purchased by Blue Sky Thoroughbreds for
$140,000. Raced by the Joy N Happiness Stable, Super Easy has now taken his
stakes earnings to almost $100,000 from only four race starts.
