David Hall and Brett Prebble have been the two big movers on the premiership ladders this season and their march up the ranks look set to continue tomorrow night at Happy Valley when they team up with Krovanh in the opening leg of the triple trio.
With the TT only being partially won last week, the carry-over pool is expected to swell to $15 million and Krovanh, despite a slow start to his career, appears set to make up for lost time.
In his second season in Hong Kong, Hall has made a solid impact, training 10 winners from 90 runners, including a double at Sha Tin last Saturday with the promising pair Reunion and Romantic Winner.
Prebble, who resumes from a two meeting suspension, has been the big mover on the jockeys' table, sitting second to Douglas Whyte after landing 27 wins from only 169 rides.
Zabeel gelding Krovanh arrived in Hong Kong with the impressive credentials of five wins from six starts in New Zealand but his inability to settle early in his races proved his downfall, often going too hard in his races and having little left in the final stages.
Hall took over the training of Krovanh following the departure of David Hayes to Australia, and this season the five-year-old appears a lot more settled in his work and trials and showed with a sound first-up performances he was ready to find winning form.
Krovanh resumed at Happy Valley on November 16 in an unsuitable 1,000-metre event and after settling well back in the field, worked to the line smartly in the closing stages to be beaten just over four lengths by Flying Sprinter.
