TOP local trainer Wong Tang-ping holds the key to the second leg of the Double Trio at Sha Tin tomorrow when he saddles up Silver Freighter and improving Super Power to present punters with a puzzle.

Of the two, Silver Freighter has undoubtedly shown himself to be a very solid bet in Class Five company but the more lightly raced Super Power looks ideally suited by the 1,600 metres and has good recent form on the board.

Super Power finished second to well-backed Planet at his last outing - his conqueror is not without a chance in a later race tomorrow - and appears to have held that form.

Stable apprentice Vicki C. W. Choi takes over from Gerald Mosse who is held to debutant Be Happy from the stable of his retaining trainer, Patrick Biancone.

The enforced change, despite Choi's claim, is not likely to ensure enthusiastic support for the the five-year-old but he must be included.

Silver Freighter has been more effective over longer than the Sha Tin mile but his trainer is noted for sending his horses over a head-scratching variety of trips.
