I was pleased with his work this morning.” Mullins speaking from Ireland said: “I am very happy with Max Dynamite and he has been working well. We would be delighted if he could make it into the first three in Hong Kong. He has recovered well from his run in the Melbourne Cup and has been fine since then. We are looking forward to him running at the weekend. “The drop back in distance (1m4f) is not ideal, but it is what we have to do and he had some good form over shorter distances back in his younger days.” Max Dynamite has twice finished in the places in the Melbourne Cup.
