Indy's Gem can give Peter Chapple-Hyam another winner by taking the featured St Andrew's Challenge Quaich on the Sha Tin dirt.

Dirt meetings are there to be endured for the greater good and, for the inveterate punter, there will be seven winners.

Indy's Gem, hopefully, will be one of them.

This Class Two event over 1,650 metres is not easy and the selection is offered in the fairly sound hope that he will be a solid each-way odds. He certainly deserves to be.

Last time out Indy's Gem and jockey Freddie Sanchez parted company on the first turn in a 1,650-metre race at Happy Valley and tonight Eric Legrix takes over from his compatriot who is sidelined through suspension.

The American-bred gelding has run well on the dirt before and has been working particularly fluently coming into this. Legrix, who is having a fine first season as a Club jockey, knows the horse backwards and is guaranteed to get the best from him. It just might be enough.

The last time he completed a race, Indy's Gem was just a half-length away from the excellent Wasabi at Happy Valley. The race has worked out well as Wasabi scored again and fourth-placed Willie Way was also on the mark.
