Hong Kong punters love to follow the big names and McDonald will be seen as good for betting turnover.
McDonald will not ride in Sydney again this year after he had to stand down from Wednesday’s Rosehill meeting because of a case of influenza. He hopes to be back on Saturday to add to his group 1 tally at Caulfield, where he is booked to ride the Chris Waller-trained Joliestar in the Thousand Guineas.
The Zoustar filly was a $950,000 Easter yearling purchase and has put it together as a spring three-year-old.
“After she ran second to Arctic Glamour in the Reginald Allen, we targeted this race because she looks like a miler,” Waller said. “Since we have taken her down to Melbourne she has thrived and she has finally got a good draw on Saturday.
“I’m sure she will run a strong mile, and we have James to make sure she gets the right run.”
