Gale Saga showed big improvement to finish second last time out at Sha Tin, which is a good form guide for this race.

The five-year-old son of So You Think is a two-time winner at Sha Tin, and it won’t take him much longer to get back to winning form.

#3 – Mr Cool

BET NOW

Frankie Lor lines up Mr Cool, who comes off back-to-back third placings at Sha Tin.

The four-year-old son of Maurice is only a one-time winner from 10 starts, but getting Zac Purton in the saddle bodes well.

Barrier two is another positive, and the money should come.

Stake: 1.5 Units

#5 – Lucky Ranger

BET NOW

Looking to go one better than his debut second placing is Lucky Ranger, who ran second as a $2 favourite.

The three-year-old son of Vanbrugh will need some luck from a wide barrier, but he won’t take long to win a race.

We’re happy to keep backing him until he wins.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (17:00) Lung Yat Handicap (1200m)

#3 – Speedy Smartie

BET NOW

Boasting four wins this preparation is Speedy Smartie, who won by 4.8 lengths at Sha Tin all-weather last time out.

The six-year-old son of Satono Aladdin keeps paying each-way odds with bookmakers, so he’s always an attractive bet.

Barrier 12 doesn’t help, but he should go close with luck.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (17:30) On Ting Handicap (1400m)

#2 – Rezeki

BET NOW

Seeking consecutive wins is Rezeki, who was too good for them at Sha Tin last time out.

The David Hall-trained son of Ardrossan isn’t always the most consistent type going around, but he could kick on with it now.

Punters should get each-way odds on race day.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (18:00) The Yan Oi Tong Cup (1200m)

#10 – Peridot

BET NOW

Peridot has yet to win from six starts, but the four-year-old went close at Sha Tin when third last time out.

The son of Ribchester doesn’t meet an overly tough field on Sunday, so he could take advantage and post his first career win.

We expect good odds from bookmakers.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (18:30) Tai Hing Handicap (1200m)

#2 – Loyal Bright

BET NOW

Boasting four wins from six starts is Loyal Bright, who was unbeaten in three starts at Toowoomba before coming to Hong Kong.

His two-length win at Sha Tin last start is an excellent form guide, and he’s likely to contest stronger races later in his career.

We expect shortening odds throughout the day on Sunday.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 8. (19:05) The Centenary Vase (1800m)

#5 – Speed Dragon

BET NOW

Boasting two wins already this preparation is Speed Dragon, who comes off a Group 3 win at Happy Valley.

The six-year-old son of Darci Brahma owns five wins from 20 starts overall, and barrier three gives him every chance in the run.

There isn’t much to this field, so he could take advantage.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 9. (19:40) Wu King Handicap (1200m)

#3 – Victory Sky

BET NOW

Shooting for three consecutive wins is Victory Sky, who is unbeaten in two runs at Sha Tin, and he could keep that form going.

The five-year-old son of U S Navy Flag scored easily by two lengths last time out, which is an excellent form guide for this race.

Having Purton in the saddle only adds to his chances of winning.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 10. (20:15) Yan Tin Handicap (1400m)

#4 – Emblazon

BET NOW

Emblazon has made a good start to his career with three wins from six starts, including a gutsy win by a nose last time out.

The four-year-old son of Zoustar is bred to be better than average and getting weight off his back only helps his chances here.

We expect him to be fighting out the finish on Sunday.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 11. (20:50) Yau Oi Handicap (1800m)

#9 – Smart Avenue

BET NOW

Smart Avenue scored a tough win two back at Sha Tin before running second last time out, which is a good form guide.

The four-year-old son of Shamus Award gets in well off on the weights at 54kg, which makes him a winning threat.

Teetan rides, and he has time to find cover from a wide draw.

Stake: 1 Unit
