TRAINER Ivan Allan is locked into a winning streak at the moment and topweight All Thrills should keep the run going in the fourth event at Sha Tin tomorrow.

With Lester Piggott taking over from Frankie F. C. Lor the odds may be relatively skinny but the New Zealand import does look a must for Double Trio supporters.

There is a full field of 14 involved in the first leg of the bet, a Class Three event over 1,600 metres and there is little doubt that All Thrills should have won last time out.

He went under by the minimum margin but the engagement of Piggott should ensure that this time around he gets every possible assistance from on top. His only two Hongkong runs have been over 1,400 metres but the step up in distance is unlikely to be a problem.

All Thrills looks to be a progressive type and it will be interesting to see if Piggott adopts the front-running tactics so fruitfully employed on So Easy last week.

Although All Thrills appeals as a banker for the popular bet, there are dangers aplenty in this interesting race and due note should be taken of another important riding change.
