Lucky With You is showing all the makings of being a star of tomorrow and this Wednesday (18 May) the gifted bay will experience a Happy Valley race night for the first time when he contests the HK$2.4 million Class 2 Grass Island Handicap (1200m).
A four-time winner from eight runs for David Hayes, Lucky With You impressed last start with a smart win in Class 2, coming from off the speed to halt Cordyceps Six’s hat-trick bid, while earlier this season he’d already claimed a pair of tidy Class 3 successes.
Karis Teetan knows Lucky With You well and is looking for a fourth win aboard the 91-rater tomorrow night, stepping away from gate three against 11 opponents.
“He’s definitely a horse that’s going to improve with a high rating next season, so it’s going to be interesting.
“He’s going to Happy Valley for the first time which will be a test but I think it’s going to suit him and if the pace is on, he will have the finish that he gave us last time,” Teetan said.
Prior to last start, Lucky With You’s three wins came from out in front but his most recent effort showed versatility and that perhaps he is just as effective – or if not even more improved by coming from off the pace.
