The chestnut will step away from gate one with jockey Zac Purton assigned as Ho serves a riding suspension.
“He has a good draw. Vincent mentioned after his last run he still wasn’t concentrating, but I think the draw can help,” Lui said.
Lui is without a runner in the night’s feature – the Class 4 LONGINES Cup (1200m) – but has Call Me Dandy engaged in the finale, the first section of the Class 3 Speedy Handicap (1200m) – again with Purton aboard.
“He’s an honest horse, but you look at his last two runs, it seems that the short straight at Happy Valley might suit him,” the trainer said.
Lui has entered Stoltz in Sunday’s (22 October) HK$5.35 million G2 Premier Bowl Handicap (1200m) after the chestnut sprinter landed a first Group 3 victory last start.
“We’ll try 1200 metres, of course his best distance is 1000 but there is no harm to try it. There’s only six runners,” Lui said.
Lucky Sweynesse, Sight Success, Victor The Winner, Duke Wai and Adios are also entered in Sunday’s Premier Bowl.
- Wednesday’s nine-race fixture at Happy Valley commences at 12h45 with the Class 5 Success Handicap.
