Australian Steven King can make his penultimate mount as a Hong Kong-based jockey a TT blockbuster in the final leg of the world's best bet, for which there is a mammoth $36.9 million carried forward to Sha Tin tomorrow night.
King partners Electronic Unicorn in the sixth event, which concludes the TT, and he looks a quality TT banker.
The Ricky Yiu Poon-fie-trained four-year-old has done nothing but improve from race to race from his griffin days.
It culminated with an enormous run in the Classic Trial where he came from virtually last off a slow pace to run third to Industrialist.
He should have gone up by considerably more in the ratings than the five pounds he has and from a handicapping point of view, it is hard to see him not in the first three.
The one drawback is the 1,800-metre trip. He is blinkered for the first time and there are some who believe that he won't get beyond the mile of the Classic Trial, which probably explains why he was left as first reserve for the Derby itself.
