Oisin Murphy, who has enjoyed a stellar season in Europe, gets his chance to ride a winner at Sha Tin aboard the capable Great Treasure (8.35) in the Mody Handicap over 1m½f.

Murphy, in town to partner Salouen in the Hong Kong Vase next week, has a willing partner in Great Treasure, who has thrived since moving to trainer YS Tsui at the start of the season.

The seven-year-old has been out of the frame just once in five starts for Tsui and his latest second over course and distance was a cracker. He ran on well from back in the field and was beaten only half a length.

He is expected to be the first leg of a double for Tsui, who can be confident of another win from dirt specialist Ugly Warrior in the Nathan Handicap (9.10).

He will be short but he is in top form and stands head and shoulders above his rivals.

Finally, save something for the Francis Lui-trained Diamond Rhyme in the closing Salisbury Handicap (9.45).

Zac Purton is always a jockey to follow at these low-key fixtures, where he is spoilt for choice when it comes to mounts.

Diamond Rhyme is an ex-West Australian galloper, who was placed in Listed company. He is coming to hand nicely.
