Pixie Knight finds his calling, set to start favourite in Hong Kong Sprint

Pixie Knight is favourite for Sunday's Group One Longines Hong Kong Sprint (1,200m) at the Hongkong Racecourse. The price for the talented three-year-old has been crunched into $2.45 with international fixed-odds bookmakers. He is the first of Maurice's progeny to win a Group one. His jockey Yuichi Fukunaga is concerned about the weight swing between him and Sprinters Stakes runner-up Resistencia. He has the gate directly inside Pixie Knight and Belgian ace Christophe Soumillon will be looking to get a cart into the race.
