Hong Kong's three hopes for the Dubai World Cup meeting on Saturday night are said by connections to be thriving in the surroundings of the gleaming new Meydan track and hopes are rising for a victory at the richest meeting ever staged.
For a start, the prospects for both sprint envoys -Joy And Fun in the Al Quoz Sprint and One World in the Dubai Golden Shaheen - have been enhanced by encouraging draws.
Joy And Fun drew a middle berth in six for his mission down the 1200m turf chute, while One World has been allocated the inside gate in the US$ 2 million Golden Shaheen on the new all-weather surface.
On Wednesday morning, One World did his main piece of work for the week on the Tapeta surface he will race on and drew positive remarks from jockey Darren Beadman in the saddle.
"We didn't go too hard, about three-quarter pace, but he felt great. The most important things were that on the turn he changed leads exactly when I wanted him to and he feels really comfortable on the surface," he said.
