Prince Treasure can get trainer David Hayes and his stable jockey Basil Marcus back amongst the griffin winners in an interesting opening contest on what promises to be a tough day's punting at Sha Tin.

Hayes' youngsters were a standing dish in these griffin contests two seasons ago with the record-breaking Australian handler sending out winner after winner after winner.

Since then he's changed his modus operandi and shifted the emphasis to producing his youngsters through the Class Four ranks rather than the griffin ones.

But for his good two-year-olds the only option is a griffin contest and Prince Treasure has been working like he's decidedly above average.

His trials have been good. He's shown lots of natural speed and has not been at all knocked about.

But it was a jump out last Monday which put him down as a future winner.
