While the promise of Triple Trio riches will lure many to Sha Tin tonight, the best contest on the card is race two - a Classes One and Two dash on the dirt where much interest surrounds the local debut of smart Argentinian performer, Citizen Kane.
Multiple Group-placed at home, Citizen Kane and his connections will be hoping for better luck than that which befell Litigado when he made his debut at Sha Tin six weeks ago.
Although it was over the short sprint on the grass and Litigado's Buenos Aires' form had been over much longer, it didn't stop the horse being backed into 3-1 favouritism.
But he made no impression in a race won in good style by Ivan Allan's classy Futurity winner Tajasur.
Citizen Kane will have his work cut out on debut but is not hopeless as trainer Tony Millard, enjoying a sensational first season, has been putting good work into the three-year-old.
Frankly, unless there are ridiculous odds about the son of Ibero, he is not seen as a win bet but he can be included in quinella and tierce investments.
