Double bankers look like way to go in TT

Taking a risk and playing a double banker in the opening two legs of tomorrow night's Triple Trio, including a couple of rides for in-form Gerald Mosse, can help snare the lions' share of an expected HK$4 million dividend.

Mosse will bring the momentum of a Sha Tin double on Sunday to the city track and opens up the TT with a ride on Richard Gibson's rejuvenated miler Great Renown in a Class Three.

Great Renown came to Gibson as a winless six-year-old with 15 starts behind him, but delivered the Englishman his first Hong Kong win first-up.

He has yet to put in a bad run, with another win and two runner-up efforts. All have been over the Valley's extended mile and, from gate seven, he will be hard to beat.

Second banker is the Ricky Yiu Poon-fai-trained Plentiful, with another in-form jockey in the saddle - Zac Purton.

Purton rode a treble on Sunday to move into outright second in the jockeys' standings and will head back from gate eight, possibly looking for cover behind Great Renown.
