Trainer Tony Millard might have a strong finish to the season if the three all-weather barrier trials at Sha Tin yesterday were any indication.
The South African won two trials, with Tiger Ridge taking out the opener in fine style and Only You the third heat.
Tiger Ridge was the most impressive winner of the morning, clocking the fastest time of 1:01.5 over 1,050 metres. Brett Prebble had the last-start winner in a forward position, before asking him to extend in the final 200m.
The son of Indian Ridge eventually kicked five lengths clear of his rivals and the way in which he won this workout indicated he has a serious chance of notching another win before the end of the season.
John Size has been working overtime with Alinsky at the trials, and once again he fared well to finish second with Douglas Whyte up.
Olivier Doleuze was not far away in third aboard super-fit Whatabob.
