That man Basil Marcus, a sixth title all but in his vice-like grip, can anchor the final leg of tomorrow night's Sha Tin Triple Trio.

Marcus, who has visibly raised his already high standard in an effort to repel Douglas Whyte's considerable championship challenge, partners Fortune Tycoon for retaining trainer David Hayes.

Hayes, himself, is having to pull out all the stops in order to keep defending champion trainer Ivan Allan at bay.

But while Fortune Tycoon may struggle to win, and it has to be admitted he might well have been expected to have already won by now, given the promise of his debut run, he does look the best horse around with which to banker bets in the TT's concluding leg.

So Great, representing trainer John Moore whose horses invariably come with a rush over the last couple of months of the season but this time round more so than ever, is another to keep firmly on side.

He's ridden by Whyte, who won't have given up all hope of catching Marcus just yet, even though he doesn't just have a mountain to climb to catch him, he has a whole range of Himalayan proportions to traverse.
