A four-time winner of the Longines World's Best Jockey Award in 2014, 2016, 2021 and 2023, Moore rides current DBS x Manulife Million Challenge leader Soleil Fighter (50 points) in the Class 3 Tsui Man Handicap (1650m) and fourth-placed Eternal Fortune (40) in the Class 3 King Kwong (1000m).

Both of Moore's mounts - along with I Can (42) and Aurora Lady (36) - can potentially win the series, which is decided on a format of 15 points for winning, six points for second, four for third and three for fourth.

Gustosisimo, who is not racing in the series finale, is currently in second place overall with 42 points. Connections of the winning horse will receive HK$1 million with HK$350,000 to the runner-up and HK$150,000 for third.
