Kuala Lumpur : May 7, 2026

Former Hong Kong galloper LUCKY EIGHT ONE will be out to make amends when he lines up in the 1200m Class 4B at Kuala Lumpur this Sunday.

Sent out as a short-priced favourite on his Malaysian debut, LUCKY EIGHT ONE overcame a slow start to score impressively over 1200m on March 28, highlighting his class. The six-year-old was again heavily backed at skinny odds (RM6) in the same grade a fortnight ago and performed creditably despite not enjoying the smoothest of runs. After shifting outwards in the closing stages, he stuck on gamely to finish third.

Drawn favourably this weekend, LUCKY EIGHT ONE looks well placed to bounce back. With the in-form Bernardo Pinheiro taking the ride, he should prove highly competitive once again.
