The penny dropped for Twin Turbo at his last start when he skipped away for a maiden win and he looks set to continue his progression through the grades in the middle leg of Sunday's Triple Trio at Sha Tin.
After last weekend's monster TT jackpot was snapped up, punters start again with a particularly tough trio, and it would not surprise if it was left unclaimed.
Richard Gibson's Twin Turbo stands out as one of two possible bankers in a Class Four (1,400m) that lacks depth.
The four-year-old was transferred to Gibson from Me Tsui Yu-sak after four starts at big odds over sprint distances. Some experimentation with gear at the trials and a disappointing run on the dirt was followed by a smart 1 1/2-length win three weeks ago, with all head gear removed.
A jump of nine points takes the four-year-old to 53, only one more than where he started, and a mark he can compete at after showing some scope for improvement last time out.
Olivier Doleuze reunites with the gelding and, from gate four, should be able to slot into the same one-out, one-back position he found last time out.
