Just how are they going to beat Ka Ying Rising in the FWD Chairman's Sprint Prize ? David Hayes reckons he is the best horse he has trained in his illustrious, three-decade career. That makes him better than Miss Finland, Better Loosen Up and Fields Of Omagh. He is a horse with a freakish “extra stride”, as Hayes describes it. For one rare occasion, Ka Ying Rising has drawn an attractive inside gate (four), and with the speed expected to come from out wide from Victor The Winner (ten), Magic Control (11) and Copartner Prance (12), it will be interesting to see how Zac Purton plays it. He could just take a sit behind the pace or, if the champion pings the stalls extra smartly, he might decide to kick on and let his rivals try to overhaul him. The start will be crucial to the tactics employed, not only for Ka Ying Rising but also by Joao Moreira on Satono Reve. Hayes believes his horse is in as good form now as when he beat Helios Express in the Group 2 Sprint Cup last month. He has come through his customary barrier trial ten days ago in good order and is set to cap a brilliant, all-conquering season. You sense Moreira and the good judges of Japanese form concede it is almost impossible to beat the favourite but the Brazilian insists he will be doing everything in his power to cause an upset. From gate six, Satono Reve is likely to settle in midfield with cover and try to come late. The six-year-old has more than three-quarters of a length to find on his Hong Kong Sprint third in December if he is to reverse the form with Ka Ying Rising. The Frankie Lor-trained Lucky With You is probably next best. However, Lucky Sweynesse, who just over a year ago was top of the pile, deserves a mention. Injury curtailed his attempt to defend his crown 12 months ago. It has been a long road back. He has trialled four times since December and it is brave of connections to reintroduce him to the racecourse at such a high level. Eustace has Good Luck on his side David Eustace is the trainer to follow later in the day when he can lift the last two handicaps on the ten-race FWD Champions Day card. It has not taken long for the trainer – who co-trained a Melbourne Cup winner in tandem with Cieron Maher – to make his presence felt in new surroundings. After 65 racedays, he has sent out 24 winners of more than £3.1m in prize-money and now has 71 horses in his stable. Eustace (right) saddles a four-year-old once regarded as his key Hong Kong Derby hope, the lightly raced import Silvery Breeze , who resumes after a lengthy break, in the Class 3 7f handicap (10.55) . The Dundeel gelding has not run since February 9 when he fell after after a collision with Legend St Paul’s, who broke down in the home straight. He had been moving impressively into a challenging position at the time of the incident. Injuries from the fall put Zac Purton on the sidelines for seven weeks. This is a hot race in which to make a return but he has drawn well in stall three and should be able to take up a handy position. Karis Teetan takes over, with Purton preferring Eighty Light Years, who has drawn 13. John Size sends out Endeared, a useful five-year-old, whose claim to fame is having beaten subsequent top miler Charyn in a two-year-old novice on the July course at Newmarket for James Fanshawe in 2022. Size has booked Craig Williams for the ride, which is a positive. In the Class 3 mile handicap (10.20 ), Eustace also has a solid each-way chance with Good Luck Babe , who is looking for back-to-back wins. The gelding has gone up 5lb in the ratings and also taken a promotion after breaking the ice at his ninth attempt locally. Teetan rides this one, too. His main threat is the consistent Magnificent Nine, another representing Size and Williams. The gelding comes to this off the back of a good third to classy Another World and Yuen Long Elite in a strong Class 3 heat. He steps up to the mile but has a nice inside draw (2) to assist him. Star Mac, who won in January, takes his chance but he is now handicapped right up to his limit with very little in hand.
