Mark Newnham is relishing a fast start to the new season and is looking to Mid Winter Wind and New Forest to continue it at Sha Tin on Sunday.
The 57-year-old has hit the board on three occasions so far this campaign and he has a host of chances to continue the good times on Sunday, with his team spearheaded by the promising Mid Winter Wind.
He goes in the feature Class Two Yi Tung Shan Handicap (1,200m) and is looking to bounce back after a low-key end to last season that saw him fail to build on a local debut victory.
A South African Group Three winner, Mid Winter Wind is drawn wide for his seasonal reappearance, but that is no concern for Newnham, who thinks his five-year-old can close off strongly after a patient ride from Lyle Hewitson.
