Two key rematches hold the key to solving today's featured Kowloon Cricket Club Centenary Cup (9.05) at Sha Tin.

Exultant was just ahead of when the pair finished third and fourth in the BMW HK Derby last month, but John Moore's handsome black colt will relish the step up to 2200m and looks a good bet to take his revenge this time.

Consort met heavy traffic when fourth behind Ruthven's stablemate Grand Chancellor in a handicap on Derby day, but this former St James's Palace Stakes third is winless after 17 runs since leaving Sir Michael Stoute and the winner can confirm the placings.

The decision to side with Ruthven or Grand Chancellor wasn't an easy one but early market moves – which admittedly can be deceptive – have helped settle matters.

Ruthven's profile suggests he should be 11-4 to win this, while Grand Chancellor's recent improvement suggest he should be around 9-2. It looks like both horses will be bigger, in which case a two-pronged approach looks well worthwhile.

The question facing punters in the other four races covered in RUK's 'Luck On Sunday' is whether to be with or against some strong, lightly-raced favourites.

Hair Trigger looks a fair alternative to very speedy Mr Lumieres in the 8.35 with Joao Moreira aboard for the first time, while Shamport is well drawn in stall 2 as he bids to build on a very promising debut in the 9.35.

The presence of a good 10lb claimer gives Pablosky a sporting chance of stopping the strapping Pick Number One from making it five from five on the AW in the 10.10, while Super Wise appeals in the 10.45.

Moreira will corner a large slice of the market for this finale aboard highly promising trial winner Hezthewonforus, but Super Wise is in prime form after a course and distance success which looks gilt edged after subsequent wins by his four nearest pursuers.
