MONDAY is Alex Wong Siu-tan day on the Sha Tin work tracks and the local handler didn't disappoint trackwatchers yesterday.
He sent out his recent first-up scorer Millennium Reigns for a searching piece of work along with with stablemate, Natural Talent.
The latter, a filly, is a very good worker but it was hard to avoid the conclusion that Millennium Reigns was moving the easier of the two as they came through 1,200 metres in a very useful time of one minute 13.7 seconds.
There is likely to be a scramble among jockeys for the ride now that Alan Munro has finished his three-month stint in Hong Kong and is off to Japan and San Francisco.
Munro was on board Millennium Reigns on his Hong Kong debut and they were untroubled to saunter a couple of lengths clear of Classic Turbo.
It wasn't a very competitive Class Two event and Millennium Reigns has since been promoted to Class One where things can soon get tough.
