The in-form Zac Purton now ranks second in the Jockeys・ Premiership, two wins ahead of the sidelined Brett Prebble. This Wednesday, he'll be looking to keep the fire burning with a full book of rides, and is sure to want to ride a winner or two for Me Y S Tsui!

Zac Purton is on fire! He's ridden 8 winners in February alone, and has racked up a total of 29 winners so far this season to land himself in second place in the Jockeys' Premiership.

This Wednesday, Purton has a full book of rides, two of which are for Me Y S Tsui. Purton last rode for Tsui on 11th February, but prior to that, we have to go back to 27th December, when he partnered CHEETAH BOY. This meeting, he takes the ride on PRINCE OF SUNSHINE (Race 2, No. 2) and NAMJONG BLOSSOMS (Race 4, No. 8). PRINCE OF SUNSHINE was placed twice over a mile at Shatin this season, and is now switching to the city track. As he has the same sire as LOADS OF JOY, can he breakthrough and win?

Dennis Yip is another trainer with whom Purton has enjoyed success this season. He partnered BESPOKE MASTER last Wednesday, and his record on Yip runners now stands at 6 wins, 2 seconds and 1 third from 12 starts in Happy Valley. This Wednesday, Purton and Yip will be going for a CHEERFUL DOUBLE (Race 1, No. 2) over course and distance, after having won on the horse last November in Class 5, 2200 metre race. Then in Race 5, Purton has picked up the ride on Yip's SURFER BOY (No. 4). Will the Purton-Yip partnership score again? Find out this Wednesday night at Happy Valley!
