John Size's stable continues to build impressive momentum after the master trainer posted a quartet, crowned by Stellar Express' victory in the HK$2.84 million (S$493,000) Class 2 Lukfook Jewellery Cup Handicap (1,000m), at Sha Tin on Dec 15.

Following a double on Dec 11, 12-time Hong Kong champion trainer Size boosted his season's tally to 11 wins when former French galloper Stellar Express ($33 on the Singapore tote) sped to his first victory in Hong Kong, as Mickley ($25), Grand Nova ($28) and Beauty Alliance ($18) also triumphed for the Australian maestro.

Jumping from barrier 6, Stellar Express found the outside rail under Brenton Avdulla and was never headed, clocking 55.90sec to beat I Give and James Tak. Favourite Fast Network finished fourth.

"I've been a bit slow out of the gate this season because our horses had to have a break, but they're starting to show some form now. Hopefully, it will continue on," said Size.
