Mark Newnham has made a strong start to the new season and will be looking to keep the momentum rolling with a team that includes promising Australian import Money Games at Sha Tin on Sunday.
Newnham has sent out two winners from 10 runners to start a campaign that is likely to see a number of his string heading towards a hugely competitive four-year-old series.
Joyful Joy was the first of Newnham’s 67-strong arsenal to strike this season and is likely to head down the Classic Mile route, while new recruit Money Games will start his journey in the Class Three Yiu Tung Handicap (1,400m).
The son of Casino Prince was flawless in two Australian starts for trainer Scott Singleton, securing wins at Tamworth and Scone before being imported to Hong Kong.
Drawing barrier 13 on local debut will not make his task any easier, but the talent is clearly there and he was a Conghua turf trial winner earlier this month.
