Tuscan Spirit had no excuse first time out this season when narrowly beaten, but the benefit of that run should see him take another step towards the top level in the Group Three Sha Tin Sprint Trophy (1,000m) this afternoon.
In other international races, Sea the Stars will be off to the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe while Scenic Blast will be the only HK horse at the Sprinters Stakes in Japan due to injuries sustained by Sacred Kingdom and Enthused.
Alan's pick for the main race will be Tuscan Spirit, while his best bet will be on Penglai Xianzi ridden by Matthew Chadwick. AUDIO & VIDEO AFTER THE JUMP.
