Wadadelight's the one to kick-start TT jackpot rush

Why you can trust SCMP

A drop to Class Five for the first time for Wadadelight and a return to the all-weather track should result in the old-stager breaking a 27-month run of outs in the opening leg of Sunday's bumper Triple Trio day at Sha Tin.

With the TT failing to be lifted last weekend, HK$53 million is up for grabs, and the nine-year-old looks great banker material after coming up with an inside alley for jockey Way Leung Wai-ming.

The Gary Ng Ting-keung-trained gelding showed he still had something to offer when running a creditable fourth to Fantastic Dancer on May 3, and he has been far from disgraced at his last two outings in unsuitable turf races, his most recent last weekend.

The last time the nine-year-old backed up quickly, he turned in his best performance in over two years when running second to Alice Too.

He looks set to get an ideal run on the back of the speed after coming up with gate two and can post his ninth win on the surface.

Dangers are plenty, headed by Master Tower, Bravo Horse, Couldn't Care Less, Storm's Destiny and Energetic Boy.

The middle pin appears very even, but with a rise in distance My Goal looks a terrific chance to notch back-to-back victories. The David Hall-trained gelding has always displayed nice ability and showed he was beginning to put it all together when resuming from a good break with a tidy fourth in an unsuitable 1,000m event.
