Century Super Star gets winning draw for Sha Tin on Sunday (Dec 6)

Century Super Star has provided trainer Andreas Schutz with half of his four winners this season and is perfectly drawn for a three-peat in the final leg of this Sunday's juicy Triple Trio, which is estimated to reach HK$46 million, says Philip Woo in HK Racing Post. He adds: Dirt-freak Century Super Star has won three times and has placed on four other occasions from nine starts, with punter confidence further lifted when he draws gate four or better with three wins, a second and a third from a

Century Super Star has provided trainer Andreas Schutz with half of his four winners this season and is perfectly drawn for a three-peat in the final leg of this Sunday's juicy Triple Trio, which is estimated to reach HK$46 million, says Philip Woo in HK Racing Post.

He adds: Dirt-freak Century Super Star has won three times and has placed on four other occasions from nine starts, with punter confidence further lifted when he draws gate four or better with three wins, a second and a third from as many runs.

Regular rider Eddie Lai Wai-ming has charted a similar path to victory in Century Super Star's two course-and-distance wins this term. From gate two on September 20 and from gate three on November 4, the son of Last Tycoon sat quietly in midfield before launching his winning bid.

Lai will have him nicely tucked away from gate one and, after a similar preparation to his opening two wins - a nice blow-out before raceday - the eight-year-old remains a logical banker, despite a six-point rise in the ratings and a 127-pound weight assignment.

Mutual Friendship was fifth best when resuming behind Century Super Star, but has since produced a wicked turn of foot to produce consecutive dirt wins. He can be forgiven for his latest run on turf and is the main danger back to the all-weather surface.

Winner Smart, Global Win, Magic Temple, Trulli, Har Har Charms and Thunder Dancing appear to be the chief opposition.

Sound Of Silence can kick things off in the opening leg. The nine-year-old does not have too many good runs left in him, but stayed on nicely to beat a near-similar group two starts back over this trip.

He could not repeat the dose next run over the 1,800m, but will relish the step back to the mile.
