A recent win under trying conditions in a Class 3 handicap gave Sky Darci a major nine-point ratings boost by the Hong Kong Jockey Club handicappers, putting him up to 80 for race 8 on Wednesday at Happy Valley, and vaulting him to the top of another 1,200-meter handicap open to horses rated 80-60. Sky Darci must tote 133 pounds but at least has a better draw, 7, than the 12 post that led to all the ground loss last month.
