It's a bit of a surprise to see veteran stayer Oriental Express at the summit of the weights in the Sprint Trial Trophy (Premier Handicap - 1000m) but King Of Danes will prove more attractive to bettors on his seasonal debut. After a fine third-placed run in the Hong Kong Sprint last year, many believe that King Of Danes can shape even better in this year's renewal. It was in this race 12 months ago that he made his Hong Kong debut and sensationally defeated Fairy King Prawn. Since then he has claimed the Centenary Sprint Cup (Gr.1-1000m) to firmly establish himself as one of the top sprinters in town. Lucky Win was the top sprinter in Singapore before he arrived at Peter Ho's stable during the summer and his trackwork has improved appreciably since his debut in the Happy Valley Trophy (Gr.3-1200m) when he was seriously hampered on the home turn. The track record holder for the 1200m at Kranji where he won on nine occasions, he almost stole the Singapore Airlines Krisflyer Sprint with devastating early pace last May only to be cut down in the final strides by Iron Mask with Plenty-Plenty two and a quarter lengths further back in fourth place. Although he won the Hong Kong Classic Mile (Gr.1-1600m) last season, trainer David Hayes seems keener to tackle sprint distances with Charming City than take on the likes of Electronic Unicorn over 1600m. Charming City finished third last time out ahead of five of his rivals in the National Panasonic Cup - Solid Contact, Kenwood Melody, Plenty-Plenty, Winning Counter and Champ De Union - and should go well again. Three-quarters of a length separated the winner, Solid Contact from the third-placed Kenwood Melody in the Happy Valley Trophy (Gr.3-1200m) last month this is their second meeting since then. Aspiring champions Our Class and All Thrills Too and Winning Counter are also there to add further intrigue to the mix. Winning Counter and Our Class finished one-two in the Sha Tin Vase (Gr.2-1000m) last term when King Of Danes finished third. All Thrills Too, meanwhile, scored stylishly last time out. For top class domestic and international racing - your best bet is to get to Sha Tin this Sunday. First race is at1.00pm.
