Many were ready to write off the championship hopes of John Size and Douglas Whyte only six weeks ago after slow starts to the season, but the Dream Team has well and truly awoken and has that winning look again today.
Perennial champion jockey Whyte, seeking a 10th straight title, has had 13 wins since November 28 and made serious progress against everyone but championship lamplighter Brett Prebble.
He has pulled back only one winner on Prebble in that time but made his way from mid-table to third place and now has the leader in his sights next.
But it is Size who has set things alight in the trainers' table, with 14 wins since November 28, including four trebles at Sha Tin where he generally keeps his winning form.
After being 10 wins off the lead in late November, and well down the list, Size has surged through the field to be third and only four wins off the leading trainer, Tony Cruz.
The Dream Team links up for six runners, including the hottest favourite Brave Kid in the final event.
Everything went wrong for Brave Kid when he made his jump into Class Three last start out after an impressive debut win up the straight.
