Big two on course for Hong Kong

Falbrav and Rakti remain on course for a titanic clash in the Hong Kong Cup after featuring among a total of 37 horses from overseas selected to contest the International races at Sha Tin on December 14.

Falbrav has excelled this season under Luca Cumani, winning four times at the top level, while the Michael Jarvis-trained Rakti showed himself to be no slouch when he returned from a layoff to take the Emirates Champion Stakes in impressive fashion.
