BEST BET – RAGING BLIZZARD ridden by Z. Purton
06:30 – Race 1 – Griffin Plate filled with first timers – 1000m
Really tough to make any kind of informed decision here. Perhaps one to avoid. Watch the betting if you must have a bet.
07:00 – Race 2 | Class 5 | 1200m
Selections: 10/3/4
PERFECT PEACH finished 3 lengths in front of BEAT HOLLOW last time. He will strip a fitter horse and is one of the leading contenders. RATTAN WORLD didn’t disgrace himself last time out and it will be no surprise to see him feature in this opening contest at Sha Tin.
07:30 – Race 3 | Class 4 | 1400m
Selections: 9/13/1
WINNING GOLD has finished close-up behind the winner in his last two starts. It is encouraging that Keagan de Melo has kept faith in the ride and the combination merit healthy respect. YOUNG HORIZON won well in his last start. He has cracked a neat draw and can give another good account of himself.
08:00 – Race 4 | Class 3 | 1000m
Selections: 4/3/5
STELLAR EXPRESS finished 2 lengths behind BABY CRYSTAL last time. He is 2.5kgs better off at the weights and there shouldn’t be too much separating them in the run down to the line. NORTHERN BEACHES has entered the frame in his last two starts and must be included in quartets.
08:30 – Race 5 | Class 4 | 1200m
Selections: 5/6/11
LUCY IN THE SKY finished 0.8 lengths behind KING MILES last time. The pair meet on identical weight terms and there shouldn’t be too much separating them at the wire. LUCKY QUALITY is nicely weighted with apprentice Chan aboard and can run into the placings.
09:00 – Race 6 | Class 4 | 1000m
Selections: 2/9/5
LUCKY SYMPHONY showed good improvement on this course last time when beaten a nose by BOWSER. If confirming that effort he should be involved in the outcome of this Class 4 contest. KA YING WARRIOR is returning from a 6-month layoff and can show if fit.
09:35 – Race 7 | Class 4 | 1200m
Selections: 7/9/12
LUCKY TOUCH produced a promising debut effort on this course behind Lifeline Express and he should come on nicely with that run under the belt. AWESOME TREASURE has finished runner-up in his last two starts over this course and distance. He is in a good space and can give the top selection a run for his money.
10:05 – Race 8 | Class 2 | 1200m
Selections: 4/2/6
RAGING BLIZZARD won his last two starts easily at Happy Valley. He is a talent on the rise and can notch up the hat-trick. ATULLIBIGEAL followed up his recent win well behind Super Sunny Sing. He ideally prefers further but can still make his presence felt in this line-up.
10:35 – Race 9 | Class 4 | 1400m
Selections: 2/9/3
THE ABSOLUTE finished just under a length behind Sunlight Power last time. He won his penultimate start under Luke Ferraris and the wide draw shouldn’t be an issue. SKY TRUST is lightly raced and has the form to win a race of this nature. TOP SCORER is next in line.
11.10 – Race 10 | Class 3 | 1400m
Selections: 4/13/14
KARMA has decent form lines to his credit. He will relish racing back over 1400m and the only concern is the wide draw. AEROINVINCIBLE is much better than his last start. Andrea Atzeni has stuck with the ride and the combination can feature if reproducing his previous form. FOOLISH HEART comes in with a handy galloping weight and must be included in quartets.
11:45 – Race 11 | Class 3 | 1600m
Selections: 2/13/7
FLAGSHIP WARRIOR produced a good second-place finish behind FRANTANCK last time. He is nicely weighted with apprentice Wong aboard and definitely represents decent each-way value for Hong Kong racing pundits. WINNING DATA has consistent form lines to his name. He has cracked pole and should give another honest effort in the lucky last!
