Peter Ho Leung and Alex Lai Hoi-wing combine with aptly-named Favourite Return in the final leg of the Triple Trio tomorrow night and there are plenty of reasons to use the progressive galloper as a banker in the final leg.
The son of Woodborough has managed a win and second place from two starts at the city course.
His form reads well over the Valley mile but he should relish the step up to 1,800 metres and from gate one will have every chance to prevail.
The recent form of Vital Patrol has been creditable and although he moves back to the Valley, he has handled the course in the past and with Douglas Whyte on board punters have plenty in their favour.
Winwin Combo found the line strongly last Wednesday and his recent form has been good enough to suggest he can figure in the finish once again, while Triumph has drawn awkwardly but is still capable of filling a minor spot.
The best option for a banker in the opening leg is Excellent Boy, who made a positive impression on debut when finishing fifth to Forte down the straight course.
