Weichong Marwing, riding on the crest of a wave following his brilliant display to land Irridescence a winner of Sunday's Audemars Piguet QEII Cup, looks set to continue his winning streak when he teams up with Flying General in the middle leg of tomorrow night's Triple Trio at Happy Valley.
Although the David Ferraris-trained gelding hasn't managed a victory in 31 months the cards have finally fallen in his favour with an inside barrier and the likelihood of a strong speed placing him at a distinct advantage.
His best performance of the season came six starts ago when the Geiger Counter gelding was gunned down on the post by the classy Sunny Sing over this course and distance, which is outstanding form for a race of this calibre.
With Classa For Ever, Keen Flyer, Trust Me and Victory Warrior all free-running horses, Marwing should have Flying General settled right on their backs from gate two and be ready to pounce turning for home.
Biggest danger is likely to come from Profit Hill, who also is advantaged by an inside barrier, with his form is clearly better than it appears on paper.
The Sean Woods-trained gelding, a four-time winner in Australia, showed he was on the verge of landing his first local victory three starts back when finishing a luckless second to Excellent Boy after being held up in the straight.
