All Time High may have failed to salute the judge in 34 appearances, but the addition of blinkers could have the desired result when the gelding contests the final leg of Sunday's HK$20 million Triple Trio, which starts the new season with a bang at Sha Tin, reports the HK Racing Post.

All Time High may have failed to salute the judge in 34 appearances, but the addition of blinkers could have the desired result when the gelding contests the final leg of Sunday's HK$20 million Triple Trio, which starts the new season with a bang at Sha Tin, reports the HK Racing Post.
It says: The Tony Cruz-trained seven-year-old put the writing on the wall when leading all the way to win a barrier trial on August 25 in impressive fashion. Under Matthew Chadwick, the gelding should be able to find the front with a minimum of fuss and be the one they all have to catch, with his toughest opposition likely to come from Fly Me To The Moon, Star Of Fame, Fun Rider and Record High.
The opening leg is brimming with talent, but the best banker looks to be highly promising sprinter Tuscan Spirit. The John Size-trained four-year-old put together four wins on the trot in impressive fashion, before failing at his last appearance when found to have an irregular heart rhythm. He showed he was back in business when trialling smartly 10 days ago and he should now be able to get his career back on track.
Main dangers are Medic Power, Brilliant Chapter, Dynamic Blitz and Nightlign. The middle pin is clearly the tricky part, but the safest banker option appears to be Divine Kid from a good draw.
