Sha Tin horse racing tips

—

Race 1. (15:30) Clear Water Bay Handicap (1000m)

#3 – Bustling City

BET NOW

Bustling City is on debut for David Hayes after showing good form at the trials, and having Zac Purton in the saddle is a bonus.

The three-year-old son of Starspangledbanner will need a good ride from barrier eight, but he has the man for the job.

Look for a betting push on race day.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (16:00) Kiu Tsui Handicap (1200m)

#8 – Majestic Delight

BET NOW

Majestic Delight has threatened to win a race recently with back-to-back placings, and it doesn’t need to improve too much to win here.

The four-year-old son of Unite and Conquer has yet to win from 12 starts overall, but it’s only a matter of time before he does.

We’re happy to keep backing him.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (16:30) Mirs Bay Handicap (1400m)

#3 – Light Years Charm

BET NOW

It’s a small but tough field, and we’re going with Light Years Charm to get back to winning form for David Eustace.

The five-year-old son of Rubick hasn’t fire at his last two starts, but they came in tough races, including one behind Galaxy Patch.

He’s good enough to handle this level of opposition.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (17:00) Lam Tsuen Handicap (1200m)

#1 – Mabubu

BET NOW

Looking to remain unbeaten is Mabubu, who caused an upset on debut at $29.

The four-year-old son of Zousain headed straight out for a spell following that win, which is often a good sign from this stable.

A betting push would add to our confidence levels.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (17:30) Lam Tsuen Handicap (1200m)

#1 – Smart Golf

BET NOW

Seeking back-to-back wins is Smart Golf, who ran fifth on debut before breaking maidens with a win at Sha Tin.

That victory came by two lengths, and if he’s anywhere near that level, he should have no problem handling this field.

Barrier 12 isn’t ideal, but he has enough speed to cross.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (18:00) Hoi Ha Handicap (1000m)

#5 – Together We Value

BET NOW

Looking to make a winning debut in Hong Kong is Together We Value, who won twice in Australia at Randwick and Doomben.

The four-year-old son of Night of Thunder won the Inglis Nursery before contesting the likes of the Inglis Milliennim and Black Opal Stakes.

It’s good form for this race, so include him in picks.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 7. (18:30) Long Valley Handicap (1600m)

#3 – The Golden Knight

BET NOW

Getting close to breaking through is The Golden Knight, who owns four placings from seven starts.

The four-year-old son of Impending ran second last time out at Sha Tin by a nose, and he’s good enough to score an overdue win.

Hugh Bowman rides, which is enough to take him close.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 8. (19:05) The Hong Kong Mile Classic (1600m)

#1 – Sagacious Life

BET NOW

The four-year-old owns six wins from nine starts, and he’s our best bet to win the Group 1 feature.

He looked good when winning at Sha Tin last time out by just under a length, and we love the toughness he showed.

Purton rides, adding to his book of rides.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 9. (19:40) Robin's Nest Handicap (1400m)

#11 – Circuit Fiery

BET NOW

Circuit Fiery might only be a one-time winner from 18 starts, but he’s never too far away from the prize.

The six-year-old son of Tavistock won by two lengths to break maidens two back before placing last start, so his most recent form is best.

He’s worth including in picks at the odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 10. (20:15) Kat O Handicap (1600m)

#8 – Lucky Sam Gor

BET NOW

In winning form this prep is Lucky Sam Gor, who is already a three-time winner this time in.

The Mark Newnham-trained gelding showed toughness to win by a nose last time out, and something close is good enough for this race.

He’s another runner that should pay value odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 11. (20:50) Yan Chau Tong Handicap (1400m)

#2 – Six Pack

BET NOW

Seeking back-to-back wins is Six Pack, who scored by a narrow margin at Sha Tin as a $7.40 chance.

The five-year-old son of Rubick is a three-time winner overall, and now that he has confidence, he could kick on with it.

Getting the inside draw is enough to take him close.

Stake: 1 Unit
