The barrier draw for the Hong Kong Sprint is shaping as the most nerve-wracking part of Gary Portellis week.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.

SEATTLE -- Nelson Cruz reached another home run milestone, this time with a shot that left no doubt where it was going to land.I thought it might be out of the stadium from the angle I was sitting, Seattle manager Scott Servais said.Cruz hit his 20th home run of the season, Robinson Cano had three hits including an RBI single and the Mariners beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2 on Tuesday night.Seattle won for the third time in four games thanks to an offense that finished with 12 hits and a key walk in the fifth inning that started the Mariners three-run rally.While Cruzs home run was the big blow of the fifth inning, the biggest at-bat came from Franklin Gutierrez. With two outs, Gutierrez was able to work a 10-pitch walk off Pittsburgh starter Jonathon Niese (6-6). Gutierrez advanced to second on a wild pitch then came around to score on Canos third hit.It really started it all. Two out, nobody on and a walk. Amazing how that works, Servais said. We talk about it, its really what we did a lot earlier in the season and I think this whole homestand has been better.Cruz then followed with a line shot just fair down the line. It was his 11th homer this season off a left-hander, and Cruz became the only current player with at least 20 home runs in every season since 2009. David Ortiz and Brian McCann can also reach that mark this season.Its just being able to play a lot of games, Cruz said. Its how you put the numbers (up). You dont just throw it out there. You have to play games to be able to put up numbers. Youre thinking as a player how to stay healthy and play as many games.Niese didnt make it out of the fifth for his shortest outing of the season.I thought I had some pretty good stuff early, just at the end everything went flat, Niese said.Seattle starter Hisashi Iwakuma (7-6) took a shutout into the seventh inning before giving up a pair of runs. Iwakuma has pitched into the seventh in six of his past seven starts. Without his normally sharp splitter, the veteran relied heavily on a slow curveball that kept Pittsburgh off-balance.Chris (Iannetta) had a lot of confidence in it in the bullpenn.dddddddddddd He called it a lot, I didnt shake and it worked out well, Iwakuma said through an interpreter.Iwakuma was nearly perfect through the sixth, facing just one batter over the minimum and allowing two hits. He ran into trouble in the seventh, beginning with Gregory Polancos leadoff double. Polanco scored on Starling Martes triple to deep right-center field, and Marte scored on David Freeses two-out single. Iwakuma was lifted after giving up a base hit to Adam Frazier, the fourth hit of the inning.Edwin Diaz got out of the jam in the seventh and pitched a perfect eighth. Steve Cishek pitched the ninth for his 18th save.SEE YA!Pittsburgh hitting coach Jeff Branson was ejected by home plate umpire Ben May arguing a strike call on the first pitch of the fifth inning. Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle soon followed, getting ejected after a brief argument with May after Branson had been tossed.I didnt think it was warranted, so once he threw (Branson) I went out and let him know that this was a little continuation of what weve been dealing with too much, Hurdle said.TRAINERS ROOMPirates: RHP Gerrit Cole (triceps strain) threw a 35-pitch bullpen on Tuesday and threw fastballs and off-speed pitches.
