From Dubai on Saturday to Hong Kong on Monday followed by a trip to see Liverpool host Manchester City in the Champions League showdown on Wednesday.

A quick hop to see Tiger tee it up at Augusta is all that's missing from Joao Moreira's hectic sporting week but for those of us who turn right on the plane it's tempting to oppose the Magic Man in search of value at Sha Tin's Easter meeting.

Moreira will be aboard at least four likely favourites starting with newcomer Aerohappiness, who could start odds-on for the Dendrobium Handicap at 7.30 following three morning trial wins.

John Size's gelding will prove much better than a mark of 52 in time, but nothing is guaranteed first time out and Destin's recent best gives him clear each-way appeal at 7-1 or bigger with newly freelance Aussie star Tommy Berry aboard.

Moreira holds solid claims for Size again in the HK Lions Cup at 8.00 aboard Raging Blitzkrieg, who promises to be well suited by the return to 1200m, but there are at least two big dangers.

Recent course winner Always Win looks bound to go well with Hong Kong's newest apprentice Victor Wong able to claim 10lb, but Winning Supreme has a proven strong claimer in Jack Wong and the speed to make them all go.

Royal Performer won three from five in the UK when known as Turn Tide for David Brown and a promising all-weather reappearance suggests he can make his mark in the Oncidium Handicap at 10.10.

However, the final recommendation comes in the Primula Handicap at 10.45.

Harmony Hero looks set to go off fairly short to justify a tall home reputation, but he came up short at skinny odds on his debut and the way that Sun Touch powered clear of a fair field from the front here three weeks ago makes him a live alternative.
