Next step on comeback trail for Sacred Kingdom


Preview: Hong Kong, Sunday (GMT 8.35am)

Sha Tin: Chairman's Sprint Prize (Group 1) 6f, turf

WHETHER Sacred Kingdom is back to the form that ranked him the world's leading turf sprinter for two years will become more apparent in the Chairman's Sprint Prize on Sunday.

The second leg of the Hong Kong Speed Series pits the Ricky Yiu-trained star against Green Birdie, Enthused and Sunny Power, who finished runner-up, fourth and fifth respectively behind Inspiration in the Hong Kong Sprint.

Yiu says he is "more than happy" with the five-year-old's progress since his comeback race in the first leg of the speed series, when he finished fourth despite being disadvantaged by racing on the far side of the 5f chute.

"I thought his comeback was acceptable,"said the trainer. "He was on the wrong part of the track that day.

"It was the plan to follow Enthused and Douglas Whyte but we didn't expect they would stay over on the far side.

"He got a bit of a squeeze closer to the line as well, but I wasn't too disappointed with the run overall."

Asked whether he felt he could collect this HK$4.5million (£400,000) race for a second season, the trainer replied: "Yes, I think that's most likely - as long as he gets clear running I think he can win."

Olivier Doleuze takes the reins for the first time on Sacred Kingdom and will find himself exiting the inside barrier from the 6f start.

Green Birdie should prove a worthy opponent as he drops back in trip having raced a little too prominently for trainer Caspar Fownes' liking over 1m in the Stewards' Cup under Doleuze and Christophe Soumillon will get the leg-up on the day his stint as a club jockey expires.

The ever-consistent Enthused, meanwhile, can also be expected to deliver another big run, even if jockey Douglas Whyte bemoaned his inability to draw a suitable barrier.

"This is the third Group 1 in a row he has got a bad alley," said the eight-time champ.

"He got 13 in the international sprint, gate oneon the wrong side of the track last time out and now he has eight of ten.

"He's capable of winning a Group 1 but he'll need luck from out there
