Why you can trust SCMP

Centre tomorrow's Sha Tin Triple Trio bets around Surplus, All Satisfy and Decouvert in the fourth event and there could be some hope of a slice of the whopping $37.91 million jackpot.

Due to the 48 million-plus possible winning combinations, and a minimum unit stake of $5, you have to go 'thin' somewhere to keep the total outlay within a manageable limit.

Tomorrow it is the fourth race, a Class Three 1,400-metre handicap, which looks the easiest of the three TT events to solve.

Surplus is improving all the time and represents the in-form combination of trainer David Hayes and jockey Basil Marcus.

This is particularly Marcus' time of the season. When it comes to slugging it out for championship honours, he can go toe-to-toe with anyone and more than once has come from a long way back on points to deliver the knockout blow.

Surplus, with Marcus' considerable assistance, should relish the return to Sha Tin and the move up to 1,400 metres.
