Andrea Atzeni is excited about his chances of landing a Group Three double on Sunday when he teams up with one of Hong Kong’s emerging stars, Sky Jewellery, and the in-form Crimson Flash.
A brilliant winner at five of seven starts, the John Size-trained Sky Jewellery will make his feature race debut in the Lion Rock Trophy (1,600m) while Crimson Flash will also make the leap to Group company for the first time in the Sha Tin Vase (1,200m).
Sky Jewellery was one of the leading early contenders for this season’s Classic Series, but Size had to scrap those plans when the The Autumn Sun gelding bled from both nostrils after a trial in November, incurring a three-month ban from racing.
He picked up where he left off in a sparkling return, winning first up last month and again on May 3 with Atzeni on board for the first time.
“It will be good to get back on Sky Jewellery because he’s a very promising horse,” Atzeni said,
