Frankie Lor Fu-chuen will chase a Class Two double at Sha Tin on Sunday afternoon with in-form pair Voyage Samurai and Bottomuptogether headlining the handler’s all-out assault on the 10-race card.

Lor, who has a runner in each of the weekend’s races, will hope Voyage Samurai is ready for the 1,800m of the Class Two Hong Kong Lions Cup.

An all-the-way winner over a mile last start, Voyage Samurai finds himself in a strong contest featuring the likes of Five G Patch, Helene Feeling, La City Blanche, Winning Dragon and Bundle Award.

“I think he can handle the 1,800m because he has a big stride and he can keep on well on the speed. Since we put the blinkers on, he has improved,” said Lor of his five-year-old, who has sported blinkers in his past three starts for a fourth, a second and a win.

The only jockey to salute aboard Voyage Samurai with five successes, Derek Leung Ka-chun retains the ride and the pair jump from gate four.

Bottomuptogether also begins from barrier four in the Class Two Kowloon Bay Handicap (1,200m) as he tackles Sha Tin’s all-weather track for the first time.

Successful in the grade over the Happy Valley 1,000m three starts back, Bottomuptogether has done just about everything but win over six furlongs at Sha Tin this season.

After three seconds and a third over the turf 1,200m, Lor has opted to roll the dice on the dirt.

Zac Purton sticks with the four-year-old son of Shamus Award and they do battle with the likes of Copartner Prance, Beauty Waves and Stellar Express.

“He usually trials very well on the dirt. He can lead or he can sit second. There aren’t too many Class Two 1,000m or 1,200m races, so we need to try the dirt. He’s in good form,” said Lor, who has had a winner at the past five Sha Tin meetings.

One of the gallopers successful in that streak was South Star, who will look to make it two victories on the bounce in Sunday’s Class Three Ho Chung River Handicap (1,400m).

A convincing winner at the course and distance on March 30, South Star steps up in grade and will again be partnered by Andrea Atzeni.

Triumphant More is another in-form galloper among Lor’s full weekend book, with the four-year-old chasing a fourth win of his debut season in the Class Three Ngau Tau Kok Handicap (1,200m).

Second at the course and distance last start, Triumphant More looks well placed to help Lor, who sits seventh in the trainers’ premiership, add to his 35 victories so far this campaign.

The affable handler also saddles up Silver Destiny, Dreaming Winner, Fun N Fun Together, Beauty Live, Lucky Impact and Victory Moments this weekend.

Looking forward, Lor expects to have two runners on Champions Day next weekend – Lucky With You in the Group One Chairman’s Sprint Prize (1,200m) and Happy Together in the Group One Champions Mile.

The latter will face one less international raider after Lake Forest was withdrawn by William Haggas on Thursday.
