They were coming from all directions during a busy session at Sha Tin yesterday but first things first and that has to be Owners' Glory.

The Alex Wong Yu-on-trained galloper always looked a decent type last season but was beginning to look an under achiever until a late-season placing at big odds.

This time round he's come back into work going better than ever and won at the first time of asking in Class Five.

He did have as charmed a run as you could imagine that day, hardly coming off the rail and, on that basis, there will be many willing to take him on in tonight's much tougher Class Four opening event.

The trackwork evidence says keep him safe. He seems to have improved again since that win and has been moving stylishly in readiness for this evening's mile contest.

Yesterday Wong and jockey Douglas Whyte, who seems to have the pick of the rides from the stable, put Owners' Glory through a significant 800-metre pipe-opener in 54.0 seconds with a decent final quarter in 23.5.
