Ka Ying Rising might not be in attendance on Wednesday, but the only horse to have beaten him, Wunderbar, will look to enhance his already stellar record when he lines up in the feature Group Three National Day Cup (1,000m).
The son of Rich Enuff was a three-time winner last season, with his only run under Wednesday’s jockey Hugh Bowman being a cosy win in a 1,200m Class Two at Sha Tin in June.
He followed that run up with a brilliant second to Beauty Waves in the Class One Pearce Memorial Challenge Cup (1,000m) when he was giving that rival 6lb.
The pair reoppose in the National Day Cup with Wunderbar enjoying a 15lb swing at the weights and his jockey Hugh Bowman was reeling off the positives as he looked forward to the ride.
“It’s nice to get back on board. He’s performed well over the course and distance,” said Bowman. “He’s got a favourable draw and he looks like one of the live chances to my eye.
