John Size saddles up Wunderbar and Stellar Express as he looks to claim Sha Tin’s Saturday feature, the Class One Pearce Memorial Challenge Cup (1,000m).
The 12-time champion trainer, who heads into Saturday with a commanding nine-win lead over nearest rival David Hayes in this season’s premiership, will be chiefly relying on his winning machine Wunderbar to extend his buffer.
The Rich Enuff galloper won four of his five starts as a three-year-old and kicked off this campaign with a pair of victories to bring his tally to six wins from seven, before his form levelled off following those tough performances.
Following a four-month break, Wunderbar stepped forward from a fairly promising reappearance by cruising past his rivals under Hugh Bowman to win the Class Two Business School And Faculty Of Engineering Handicap (1,200m) at Sha Tin two weeks ago, improving his record to seven wins from 12 starts.
