TRAINER Ivan Allan has set punters another poser in the fourth event on the Sha Tin all-weather surface tonight where he starts both Mighty Mighty and Speedstar.
Leading jockey Basil Marcus, riding in rare form at the moment, sticks with Mighty Mighty for his seasonal reappearance and the big question here will be the horse's handling of the equitrack surface.
Mighty Mighty certainly does have enough class to be involved in this grade while Speedstar, with stable claimer Stanley K. M. Chin up, backs up after a sparkling win on this tricky surface over the minimum trip.
Speedstar has drawn perfectly against the rails and with the all-weather surface on Wednesday night definitely favouring the speed horses, it would be difficult to leave Speedstar out of the calculations.
He won by three-parts of a length last time and it could be that the extra 100 metres - which is a vital consideration - may just find him out. Earlier on the all-weather surface, sheer speed was not necessarily getting horses home over this slightly longer sprint.
Conversely, Mighty Mighty will be much better off over this slightly longer sprint and assuming they can still come from behind, as on Wednesday night, he must be given serious consideration.
