Luke Ferraris has shaken off the worst of the fever that sidelined him from Wednesday night’s Happy Valley meeting and is hoping he has the ammunition to continue his strong recent form at Sha Tin on Saturday.

Victorious at the past two meetings he has ridden at, Ferraris will feature in both of Saturday’s Group Three features but must overcome barrier 10 aboard Lucky With You in the Sha Tin Vase (1,200m) and Chancheng Glory in the Lion Rock Trophy (1,600m).

“Lucky With You is going to need the rain to stay away. He’s definitely more effective on a firm track, so that doesn’t look great, and he’s also got a bad barrier to contend with as well,” said Ferraris.

“But he’s got nice horses drawn around him, so if he can get on the back of a nice one and get a nice pull through the run, hopefully he can bring that Class One form up to this Group Three.

“Chancheng Glory also has a bad barrier but his raceday form is honest and if the pace is on and he can get a nice run in transit, hopefully he closes off well.”

Ferraris fared better at the draw with smart youngster Dazzling Fit, who has gate three but must carry 135lbs as he shoots for consecutive victories in the Class Four Tin Sam Handicap (1,400m).

“Dazzling Fit has finally pulled a gate, which is nice. Hopefully he can lob somewhere around midfield. It will be a good test. He’s a young horse with a lot of weight to shoulder, but he is a big fella so hopefully it’s not too much of an issue for him. He’s definitely a horse on the rise,” said Ferraris, who also looks to be a winning chance aboard Hong Kong debutant Infinite Resolve in the Class Three Tai Wai Handicap (1,200m).

“Infinite Resolve’s last trial at the Valley was good and he looks to be a versatile horse – he can go forward or he can go back. I’ll see what Mark [Newnham] wants to do. His prep going into the run has been good, he hasn’t really put a foot wrong and he seems honest enough. It will be interesting to see what he does.”
