Drawing single figures can help Super Plus break through for the first time in more than a year and aid punters trying to narrow calculations in a tough Triple Trio at Happy Valley tomorrow night. After a wide-open first leg, the Peter Ng Bik-kuen-trained sprinter can be counted on as a banker in the middle leg of a TT expected to hit HK$8 million - which includes a HK$4.38 million jackpot.

Super Plus comes into the Class Three 1,000m dash off two brave efforts in this grade where he was trapped three wide facing the breeze.

On both occasions he jumped from wide gates and had no right to be sticking on at the finish. But he did, finishing second and fourth and continuing his sound form from the end of last term.

Ben So Tik-hung gets the seven-year-old in at an attractive 116 pounds, but it is gate four that is the kicker.

With speed drawn inside him, So should be able to slide across to the coveted box seat just behind the pace, sprint at the turn and record the gelding's first win since September last year.

Danewin Winning would have made more appeal had he not drawn the extreme outside. From there, Gerald Mosse may have to try something different on the Tony Cruz-trained galloper, who has been ridden handy at his three starts.

Others to include, despite being drawn unfavourably, are Vintage Hussler and last-start winner Double Luck.

In the final leg, a Class Four over the extended mile, it could be wise to play narrow again to open up options in the first and banker improving Great Renown.

First-term trainer Richard Gibson has already shown a propensity to get the best out of Class Four and Five horses and progress them.

He has managed to win three consecutive Class Fives with Easy Gold and it's not hard to imagine him doing something similar with Great Renown, his first winner.

The six-year-old came to Gibson after 15 starts and off a mark of 51. He copped six points for his first-up victory but still looks better than this grade.

Drawn two with Douglas Whyte, he will get a cosy run just off what could be a solid tempo with numerous no-pace types entered. (www.racing.scmp.com)
