SMART performer Deluxina can give defending champion Geoff Allendorf another handy winner at Taipa today and continue the recent run of trainer David Thompson.
The former Madras-based mentor saddled up a good winner in the shape of 18-1 chance Echo Valley last week but stable supporters will have to take shorter odds about Deluxina - particularly with Allendorf up.
The galloper has been running in top races but finding one or two just that little bit too good - and he has not always had that much luck in transit.
At his last start he finished second, course and distance, and looks poised to take the extra step this afternoon.
His honesty has resulted in a steady creeping up the scale but from the ideal barrier draw (2), and with Allendorf in top form, he should oblige.
And there won't be fancy odds about Eagle World (nap) in the seventh event, even though he was beaten fairly comprehensively at his last outing.
