These are heady days for Club jockey Robbie Fradd as he makes a late-season assault on the jockeys' premiership.
Despite missing three months of the season the South African sits in fifth position on the championship table, banging in winner after winner since returning to Hong Kong three weeks ago.
And in the Peter Ng-trained Saafend Rock he appears to have secured yet another winning ride if the three-year-old colt secures a run in Wednesday night's Camellia Divided Handicap at Happy Valley.
Ng has sent the youngster to the city track to trial on two occasions and both times he has created a big impression with trackwatchers.
He trialled very impressively last Saturday behind Sea Jade and there will be many hoping he gains a run from third position on the reserve list.
Yesterday Fradd was on top as he worked over a solid 1,200 metres with talented stablemate Expedient and there was a lot to like about the way he hit the line at the end of the gallop. Saafend Rock was placed third in a Listed race at York last August and the only time he finished out of the the first four in nine starts was when finishing seventh in a Group Three race at Ascot in October - he will take plenty of beating if he is produced as he does seem to have settled in well to his new surroundings.
