HK: Title hopes lift as Lui prepares trio for Happy Valley

Francis Lui went a long way to boosting his trainers’ championship defence with a four-timer at Sha Tin on Sunday and he takes a team of three to Happy Valley on Wednesday night in an aim to keep the ball rolling. Leading the handler’s trio at the city circuit is Hameron (Night Of Thunder), who features in the Class 3 Sea Eagle Handicap (1650m) under Vincent Ho in barrier five, seeking a third win. “He looks like he has improved a little bit. He’s not a big horse, he’s a little horse, and he always has a big weight,” Lui said. Do Your Part (Coats Choice) features for the reigning champion trainer in the Class 3 Nightjar Handicap (1000m), while Brave Joy (All Too Hard) debuts in the Class 4 Albatross Handicap (1200m).
