Brenton Avdulla will be hoping to continue his late-season surge when he partners the classy Raging Blizzard in Sunday’s Group Three Premier Cup (1,400m) at Sha Tin.

By his own admission it has been a frustrating season for Avdulla, but four winners at the last three meetings aboard the likes of My Mars and Jedi Spurs has seen him finishing the campaign on a high.

“It’s been a pretty frustrating season. I had a winner at the first meeting and then had plenty of placings after that in the first few months, which hurt me a little bit,” Avdulla said.

“I’ve been able to build a bit of momentum the last few months and found some nice horses like My Mars and Jedi Spurs which has helped. Hopefully I can find a few more winners and get ready to attack next season.”

Avdulla has been Raging Blizzard’s regular partner this season, riding him on nine of his 10 starts and he has only finished outside the four on two occasions, finishing fifth both times.
