Taking a risk and playing a double banker in the opening two legs of tomorrow night's Triple Trio, including a couple of rides for in-form Gerald Mosse, can help snare the lions' share of an expected HK$4 million dividend. Mosse will bring the momentum of a Sha Tin double on Sunday to the city track and opens up the TT with a ride on Richard Gibson's rejuvenated miler Great Renown in a Class Three.

Great Renown came to Gibson as a winless six-year-old with 15 starts behind him, but delivered the Englishman his first Hong Kong win first-up.

He has yet to put in a bad run, with another win and two runner-up efforts. All have been over the Valley's extended mile and, from gate seven, he will be hard to beat.

Second banker is the Ricky Yiu Poon-fai-trained Plentiful, with another in-form jockey in the saddle - Zac Purton. He rode a treble on Sunday to move into outright second in the jockeys' standings and will head back from gate eight, possibly looking for cover behind Great Renown.

Plentiful hasn't been beyond 1,400m, but his remarkably consistent recent record at that trip and his relaxed style suggest he will run the distance.

Since finishing eighth with a heart irregularity this time last year, Plentiful has four seconds, two thirds and a fourth in seven straight runs at 1,400m.

Offsetting the fact he has only been to Happy Valley once, a long-priced failure at his second start, is an impressive December 16 barrier trial at the track where he cornered well and steamed home under a strong hold.

Adding confidence is the application of blinkers for the first time, to coincide with a return to the tighter circuit, and two eye-catching runs this season. First up, it took subsequent two-time Class Two winner New Vision to beat him, and at last start, he was way back at the 300m and stormed home in tidy sectionals to snatch third. Along with the two bankers, David Hall's lightly-weighted Jun Hua (Terry Wong Chi-wai) could give some cheek in front and should be included.
