It's been a quiet season by the championship standards of John Size but the reigning premier handler could rekindle that winning feeling at headquarters this afternoon where he has a number of winning chances across the programme.
Early market players have warmed to one in particular, Pocket Money to be ridden by Felix Coetzee, in the final event, the Macau Handicap over 1,400 metres.
Pocket Money has been a model of consistency throughout his career but has really come solid since his mid-season transfer to the Size yard.
However, that nebulous commodity, luck, has been missing. He's been plagued by big weights and wide barriers but today everything falls into place.
He has a rise in class that has translated into an 18-pound weight drop on the 133 pounds that he's carried at each of his last five starts. And he'll also start from barrier five with the South African master horseman to guide him home.
Pocket Money was a $44 favourite on last night's 7pm tote call.
