The barrier draw for the Hong Kong Sprint is shaping as the most nerve-wracking part of Gary Portellis week. Asics Shoes Clearance .The Portelli-trained Rebel Dane and Takedown from the Gary Moore stable, will represent Australia in the 1200m-race at Sha Tin on Sunday.Rebel Dane has arrived safely with Portelli to fly to Hong Kong on Tuesday to oversee his days leading up to the Srpint.A good barrier draw is imperative, Portelli said.One to five would be nice, To have a chance in the race he needs to be able to take up a good position.There doesnt seem to be a stand-out horse this year and it looks like it will come down to whoever has the most luck in running.Rebel Dane travelled on Sunday with two handlers and, although he ate and drank well, he still lost several kilograms from his 495kg frame.He lost eight kilos on the way over but he cleaned up his feed bin and had a big drink which is a good sign, Portelli said.Hopefully he puts it back on in the next few days.He did all his work before he left Sydney so hes fit and we dont have to do too much with him.The Sprint will be Rebel Danes first start since he won the Manikato Stakes on October 21.In contrast, Takedown arrived in Hong Kong last week, heavier than when he left Australia.The four-year-old, who weighs in at more than 600kg, was a late invitee a couple of days before he won the Group One Winterbottom Stakes in Perth last Saturday week.Moore managed to organise a flight from Melbourne last Tuesday after Takedown was flown there from Perth a day earlier.

Ireland will give CJ Stander, Rob Kearney and Simon Zebo every chance to prove their fitness for Saturdays Test clash with Australia.Flanker Stander and full-back Kearney are working through head injury checks after concussions, while Zebo continues to suffer the after-effects of cramping during Saturdays gruelling 21-9 defeat to New Zealand.Ireland are loath to lose any more frontline stars to face the Wallabies at Dublins Aviva Stadium, with Johnny Sexton and Robbie Henshaw already ruled out.So head coach Joe Schmdit could take the rare step of allowing a nucleus of stars to return to full training on Thursday - before settling on his final line-up for Australia.They are on track, they are following the return to play protocols and are covering off those [markers] as we would expect, said Ireland assistant Simon Easterby of Stander and Rob Kearney.We will know later in the week as they go through those protocols.Simon [Zebo] has managed training today and got through some work.He, like some other players in the group, are being managed, to get them right for Thursday, when we can select the team based on who is available.Stander and Kearney must pass all the relevant stages of the rigorous head injury tests before being cleared by Irelands medical team to return to full training.Ireland boss Schmidt would in an ideal world start his Test-match selection process in earnest after training on a Tuesday building up to a Saturday match.The former Leinster coach has delayed his selection to cover the Thursday training run in the past however, and now looks likely to do the same again.Fly-half Sexton will miss Irelands final autumn clash against Australia in Dublin with a hamstring strain, while Henshaw has alreadyy been ruled out through concussion.

Utility back Keith Earls trained fully on Tuesday after missing the All Blacks defeat through a dead leg, while lock Ultan Dillane has beaten a minor knee issue.Munster star Earls recovery offers a significant midfield boost, with Sexton and centre Henshaw already missing and Zebo and Kearney still doubtful.Earls ability to feature at full-back, centre and wing could almost now guarantee him a start against the Wallabies amid Irelands fluid selection process.Keith has managed to train today, Ultan was carrying a bump from his performance against Canada so those guys are back on board, said Easterby.They will have been disappointed to miss out on the opportunity to play last weekend but it is obviously good to have some guys coming in who are a little bit fresher and ready to put their hands up for selection.First and foremost we want to try and get a performance [on Saturday] and keep building some consistency.Yes we want to build depth; that probably goes back to the World Cup time when we didnt quite have that depth in certain positions.But it is important to get the balance right. We have lost a few players already after the weekend, we want to keep some consistency [in selection] but we always want to build some depth going into the Six Nations and this weekend might allow us to do that.The players put themselves through a hell of a workload at the weekend.Its important we get them right in the first part of the week, so we can build up in to Thursday and Friday and get them in a really good physical and mental state for Saturday.
