ALEXANDER'S Choice steps out against the big boys in the Sing Tao Gold Cup in Macau this afternoon, and he can wipe the floor with the lot of them, writes Lawrence Wadey.
The Louis Ho-trained three-year-old has a perfect record of four wins from four starts and he's improved with each of them, taking his last race by seven lengths from the bang in-form Lucky Governor.
That start came over 1,800 metres on heavy ground and the move up to 2,000 metres should be right in Alexander's Choice's favour as he is one of those rare types who is blessed with both speed and stamina.
But today's Gold Cup is by far the toughest company Alexander's Choice has faced.
A quality Class One field is assembled and how Alexander's Choice fares will tell much about whether or not he's as good as he looks.
It would be a major surprise if he isn't and the advice is to back him accordingly.
The track at Taipa this afternoon is heavy after prolonged rain there in the past few days.
