Fly Me To The Moon can turn his form upside down in TT

2-MIN READ2-MIN

Fly Me To The Moon may not have managed a single placing in the past 12 months, but expect the gelding to turn around his form in the middle leg of Monday's Triple Trio at Sha Tin.

The five-year-old has made nine appearances this season and, although he hasn't troubled the judge, there have been legitimate excuses on each occasion.

He was forced to work too hard from his barriers over the tricky Happy Valley 1,650m course - a distance which has proven just beyond his stamina range.

The John Size-trained gelding turned in an improved effort last start behind the in-form Add The Fun, and he will relish a return to Class Four for the first time in 21 months.

In a race devoid of a legitimate frontrunner, Douglas Whyte will likely take him straight to the lead and he should prove too slick for his rivals.

His main danger will come from promising Red Ruler, despite the three-year-old coming up short in six outings.

The David Hall-trained gelding turned in a sound effort behind classy Many Gains on February 9 after being taken back to last from a wide barrier, but he looked the winner last start before being caught on the line by Rich Dragon.
