Lynam hoping Sole Power can strike in HK Eddie Lynam is keeping his fingers crossed Sole Power can make it fourth-time lucky in the Longines Hong Kong Sprint at Sha Tin on Sunday. The multiple Group One-winning sprinter finished ninth on his first visit to the Far East four years ago, but fared better when runner-up to Lord Kanaloa in 2013. However, he was well beaten again 12 months ago and Lynam is keen for conditions to dry out ahead of his latest appearance in the six-furlong contest. After seeing his charge exercise on the Sha Tin all-weather track, the trainer said: " He just lapped around the track a couple times today and he'll probably do something similar tomorrow. "We will just give him a feel of the grass on Friday. Hopefully it's not too loose or too slippery if this rain blows away. "He's been here three times but hasn't enjoyed the track yet. Each time, the jockeys who have ridden him have said he didn't handle going right as well as they had hoped, that he was a little intimidated and ran a little bit in snatches. "Hopefully the fourth time will be lucky."
