Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has installed the Hong Kong champion as $1.30 favourite forSunday week’s Stewards Cup.

All going well, Able Friend will then be geared towards Sydney for The Championships, where he heads betting at $6.00, for the Randwick Group 1.

“Able Friend stamped his superstar status with a dominant win in the Hong Kong Mile. Jockey Joao Moreira declared the gelding the best horse he has ridden, so the Stewards Cup should be no more than a track gallop,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.

Gold Fun, who chased home Able Friend in the HK Mile, is second pick on $6.00.
