Hong Kong Sprint Form Guide & Tips
(1) Ka Ying Rising (Best Bet – $1.30)
Ka Ying Rising is the star sprinter in Hong Kong, hence the extremely skinny odds from bookmakers.
He’s well worth including in multis after posting eight wins from 10 starts, including the Jockey Club Sprint by 3.2 lengths last start.
He has yet to run at Group 1 level, but he looks every part the winner.
(2) California Spangle ($15.00)
His form has tapered off a touch and he’s long overdue a win, but he’s a proven winner at the top.
He won the Al Quoz Sprint in Dubai before taking out the Chairman’s Sprint Prize at Sha Tin, so there’s no way we’re leaving him out of our picks.
(3) Lugal ($17.00)
An upset winner of the Sprinters’ Stakes in Japan last time out before spelling. A tough customer who could give them something to worry about.
A first four chance, especially at the odds.
(4) Victor the Winner ($51.00)
Not firing on all cylinders this season and this isn’t a race where runners typically bounce back to good form.
He should be struggling a long way from home.
(5) Invincible Sage ($51.00)
Having Blake Shinn riding is a bonus but he’s not running well enough to be considered at the big odds.
Barrier 12 doesn’t help his chances.
(7) Starlust ($31.00)
Not always the most consistent type going around and the three-year-old colt will need a fair amount of luck to win.
18 starts for a young runner is a lot, so he could be fatigued when he needs to let down in the straight.
(8) Toshin Macau (Best Each Way – $13.00)
Another Japanese runner and he looks like a winning hope after posting seven wins from 20 starts, including the Sankei Sho two back.
He was beaten narrowly by Lugal last time out, but he draws barrier five here, and that could make the difference.
(9) Satano Reve ($21.00)
Seven wins from 10 starts, but he finished seventh behind Lugal in the main Japanese form guide race.
We can’t see him turning that effort around in time to beat this talented Group 1 field.
(10) Recommendation (Best Roughie – $34.00)
We’re including Recommendation in our picks because the Australian has good barrier speed, and he could jump well and hold on.
His only Group 1 races haven’t resulted in much, but he has speed to burn and Australian sprinters usually match up well on the world stage.
(11) Lucky With You ($51.00)
Not too far away this preparation but also not close enough to be considered at the odds.
(12) Helios Express ($15.00)
A first four chance given his placings this campaign, and being a local runner should help his chances.
Hugh Bowman rides off the inside draw, and he’s the second-best chance of the Hong Kong-trained runners.
(13) Howdeepisyourlove ($17.00)
Better when second last time out behind Ka Ying Rising, but he was over three lengths behind him.
He has ability, so he could sneak into first four picks with James McDonald riding.
(14) Beauty Waves ($41.00)
Never too far away from the prize but we don’t think he’s running well enough to handle this level of opposition.
(15) Flying Ace ($67.00)
Not running well and he won’t be figuring in the finish.
