Taking Star Majestic and Grand Harbour as double bankers in the opening leg of Sunday's Triple Trio at Sha Tin can unlock the biggest jackpot of the season with a potential payout of HK$61 million for a single HK$10 investment on the line.
The last month of TT results at Sha Tin have been a nightmare and have resulted in a massive carry-over jackpot of more than HK$40 million rolling into the pool for Sunday's meeting.
Snaring the biggest payout of the season won't be easy, but taking the two standouts in the first leg can open up options in the final two events, which look even tougher nuts to crack.
Paul O'Sullivan's Star Majestic looks an essential selection in the Class Four mile, the three-year-old stepping up to the trip for the first time after three straight lead-up runs that indicated more ground was required for him to show his best.
A wide gate is nothing new, and from gate 12 Douglas Whyte will settle in the rear half of the field and hope for a strong run race, which he should get.
Plain Red Banner looks the nominal pacemaker with Dicky Lui Cheuk-yin aboard, but doesn't look a huge threat, while Zachary could also be pushed into a handy spot from his wide gate, along with Bright Concept going forward.
Unlikely to be vying for the lead will be Tommy Berry on Grand Harbour - dropping back to the mile last start, he was ridden aggressively, and while he has drawn awkwardly again in nine, a midfield spot will probably suffice, and he should be right in the thick of things at the finish.
Throw Telecom Prince (Alvin Ng Ka-chun) into the mix as a potential banker, he is racing in top form, proven over the track and distance and his last run was a total forgive effort.
The open nature of the rest makes the TT another potential jackpot waiting to happen: Zac Purton gets on On The Way, who gets to what might be his best trip for the first time, and he should be considered along with Elegance Klammer (Olivier Doleuze) and Zachary (Andreas Suborics).
The second leg is a Class Four over 1,400m where Silver Dragon (Whyte) might be the one to count on as banker.
There are some question marks over others, that nonetheless must be included: Razor Quest (Vincent Ho Chak-yiu) went around at more than 100-1 last start, but the step up in trip does look suitable, while Ascension (Eddy Lai Wai-ming) hit the line strongly last time out, but is first up for more than five months after injury. My Surplus (Purton) is hard to assess after two completely outpaced runs up the straight, and putting in what looked a decent trial since. Penny Lane (Karis Teetan) and Snow Slider (Christian Reith) can both go in.
In the final leg, take Ambassadorship (Suborics) as banker in a Class Three over 2,000m, from Wayfoong Express (Purton), Vanilla (Jacky Tong Chi-kit) and Agiaal (Derek Leung Ka-chun).
