Bank on champion jockey for share of the TT spoils
It would be wise to stick with Douglas Whyte in all three legs of the Triple Trio on Sunday.
The champion jockey has good chances with Gold Medal Winner (seventh race), American Victory (race four) and Triumph (race six).
The progressive Gold Medal Winner scored on his debut in March and then finished second and gets his chance to get back into the winners' circle.
Manfred Man Ka-leung has applied blinkers for the first time and the gear change looks a real positive.
The recent form of Glory Years has been decent enough to see him figure in the finish, despite drawing gate 14.
Master Spirit should roll straight to the lead from gate one and the way he won over 1,400m last start suggests he is a worthy contender.
Taiji Spirit is holding his form well and can hit the frame, while Lord Cairns ran well on debut and should relish the step up in trip.
American Victory, who finished a game second to Master Spirit over 1,400m on May 21, is set to give Whyte (pictured) a flying start in the opening leg.
If he runs up to his latest performance then he should prove hard to beat.
Plenty Of Heart should be fitter this time around and he showed marked improvement with the side winkers applied on his last outing.
Globe River may not have handled the yielding conditions last start but his form prior to that was solid and he deserves another chance.
Laser Glory is well handicapped and looks capable of hitting the frame, while Stoic has drawn gate 13 but can fill a minor spot.
The logical choice for a banker in the middle pin is the Sean Woods-trained Victory Turbo.
He finished a game second to Knight Templar over 1,400m last month and leaves the impression he will relish the step up in distance.
Triumph, who finished third in the race won by Knight Templar, can maintain Whyte's winning ways. He has been knocking on the door recently and adds visor.
Carry The Magic showed nice progress on his second start when fourth to Global Fortune and must be included to the list of chances.
Liverbird has been a shade inconsistent but is capable of figuring in the finish, while Desert Storm is always a threat in this grade over the Sha Tin mile and merits respect.
Whyte is the jockey to stick with in the third event where Syllabus looks hard to beat.
He won with a touch to spare last attempt over 2,000m and should appreciate the move to 2,400m.
Treasure Field has been in good form lately and has place claim, along with Sniper, who should prove more competitive with the step up in trip.
Legionnaire may be able to dictate the pace and if allowed to do so, may prove hard to run down.
