Jockey Joao Moreira was full of praise for Super Easy who scored an impressive first-up win in the $55,000 Class 4 Stakes over 1000m on the Polytrack on Sunday.

Never out of second gear, Super Easy scored by five-and-three-quarter lengths over Danzig Rocket (Erasmus Aslam) with Shinkansen (Stephen Li) a neck away third.

Super Easy recorded the time of 58.68 seconds for the journey but was not pushed at any stage by Moreira who notched his 80th winner for the season.

"He is a horse with a very good future here in Singapore," said Moreira.

"I never had to push him at any stage of the race. He did it all on his own.

"The way he won the race was very impressive. He is just an amazing horse.

"I am very confident that if he continues to improve – and I think he will – then I think he will be winning a Cups race of some sort in the next 12 months."

Trainer Michael Freedman said in hindsight that maybe he should've lined the colt up in last week's Magic Millions Juvenile Championship over 1200m which he quinellaed with Mr Big and Rush.

"Maybe I should have started him last week, but really, I'm glad we waited that extra week with him," said Freedman.

"He's a horse that has some good scope about him. 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."

Freedman said with a bit of luck Super Easy could have been unbeaten in New Zealand before coming to Singapore.

"He had no luck when beaten by Anabandana two starts back with that horse being the champion two-year-old in New Zealand and then in the Karaka Million he was trapped wide and was still in front 50m from the finish," said Freedman.

"With a bit of luck he could have been unbeaten before coming here."

A three-year-old New Zealand bred by Darci Brahma from the Gold Brose mare Parfore, Super Easy was a NZ$140,000 yearling purchase (for Blue Sky Thoroughbreds) and on top of the NZ$63,000 he collected in New Zealand he added around $30,000 to the coffers of the Joy N Happiness Stable with his victory on Sunday.
