Dropping from Group One to Class One, Same World can follow up his barnstorming performance in the Mercedes-Benz Hong Kong Derby and stands out as a banker in the middle pin of tomorrow night's Triple Trio at Happy Valley, which is expected to reach HK$6 million.
One of five John Moore-trained runners in last month's Derby, Same World was the lowest rated of the quintet, but ran by far the biggest race.
In fact, Same World was the lowest rated runner in the prestigious event and was closing on winner Fay Fay to be beaten a neck on the line, producing the second-fastest last 400m (21.83) of the race.
A month later the four-year-old finds himself at the city track and beyond 2,000m for the first time in the Hong Kong Rugby Football Union Cup (2,200m).
Brett Prebble retains the ride and has drawn a perfect gate in three, which should provide him with the opportunity to sit midfield in a 10-horse field.
The Valley shouldn't pose a problem for a horse that continues to develop race sense and 2,200m should be ideal.
