Sweynesse gets Lucky as he draws inside and Wellington receives a luckless gate

Lucky Sweynesse is favourite for Sunday's Group One Hong Kong Sprint (1,200m) at Sha Tin. His connections drew an inside gate and associates of three of his biggest rivals pulled barriers from which no horse has won the race. Lucky Sweyne's trainer, Manfred Man Ka-leung, would like him to settle under Zac Purton. Puron is a champion rider and conditioner. He will partner California Spangle in the Hongkong Mile on Saturday. He has nine victories in HKIR contests. The field is solid. It includes a few horses from within Hong kong and from Japan.
