As is often the case, Douglas Whyte set to be the pin-up boy of Triple Trio players at Sha Tin tomorrow afternoon where he looks an outstanding chance to make a clean sweep of all three legs.
With the TT being only partially won last Saturday, the carryover jackpot is expected to reach $7 million and Whyte's three rides - Turf Gold, Right Fraar and Crusader Of Gold - are set to give punters a walk-up start as each looks a standout banker.
Turf Gold was an emphatic winner of a near-identical race two starts back when he overcame a slow beginning to come from the tail of the field with a brilliant finishing burst to defeat Pleasure Pleasure and Star Prodigy.
The Peter Ho Leung-trained gelding will find this much more suitable than his last outing when reverting to 1,200 metres, and after coming up with gate two he looks to have a bit too much class for his rivals.
Other worthy inclusions are Fat Dragon, Pleasure Pleasure, Gold Master, Cosmo Star and Metro Leader.
In the middle pin, the much-improved Right Fraar is set to continue on his winning way despite stepping up to 2,200m for the first time.
The John Size-trained gelding has been a revelation this term, winning three of his last four, and his last-start win over Connoisseur's Love indicated he still had more to offer before the season is out.
