Sha Tin Racing Tips for Sunday, April 26th 2026

We have expert betting tips for racing at Sha Tin in Hong Kong on Sunday, which includes 11 races at the quality Group 1 meeting.

Punters get good value odds for the Hong Kong racing feature, and we have betting tips for every race on the card.

Race 1. (15:30) FWD Insurance Act Private Handicap (1200m)

#5 – The Heir

BET NOW

The Heir is getting close to posting an overdue win after four consecutive placings, and he could improve this Sha Tin record.

His best form comes at Happy Valley, but he owns a win and seven placings here, and it’s not the strongest field we’ve ever seen.

Look for a betting push in the opener.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (16:00) FWD Insurance Goahead Handicap (1600m)

#6 – Big Return

BET NOW

Gunning for back-to-back wins is Big Return, who scored as a $13 chance last time out.

The four-year-old son of Divine Prophet had been racing consistently without winning, but the penny might have dropped now.

Barrier three is enough to take him close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (16:30) FWD Insurance Asia Handicap (1200m)

#1 – Absolute Heart

BET NOW

Looking to remain unbeaten is Absolute Heart, who scored by 1.2 lengths on debut at Sha Tin.

The three-year-old son of Bivouac was an upset winner at $25, but punters should expect much shorter odds this time around.

We’re happy to include him in picks against a tricky field.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (17:00) FWD Insurance Bocom Handicap (1400m)

#3 – Robot Star

BET NOW

Robot Star looked good when winning earlier this preparation, and he comes off a tidy second placing.

The four-year-old son of Extreme Choice will need to run his best to cope with this class, but having Hugh Bowman riding helps.

We expect him to be right in the mix at each-way odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (17:35) Chairman’s Sprint Prize (1200m) - GROUP 1

Race 6. (18:10) FWD 1828 Handicap (1200m)

#5 – Cool Boy

BET NOW

Cool Boy looked good when making it three straight wins earlier this prep before finishing fourth last time out.

The Jamie Richards-trained gelding by Per Incanto didn’t lose any admirers with that performance, and we expect money to come for him again.

He only needs luck from a wide draw to go close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (18:45) Champions Mile (1600m) - GROUP 1

Race 8. (19:20) FWD Insurance CCB Handicap (1400m)

#4 – Fit for Beauty

BET NOW

Purton rides Fit for Beauty, who won narrowly two back before finishing second at Sha Tin last time out.

The four-year-old son of Vanbrugh owns three wins and two placings from nine starts, which is a solid enough record at this stage of his career.

He is another runner drawn wide, but ability takes him close.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 9. (19:55) QEII Cup (2000m) - GROUP 1

Race 10. (20:35) FWD Insurance NCB Handicap (1600m)

#10 – Shamus Storm

BET NOW

Shamus Storm scored a narrow win last time out, and that should give him enough confidence to kick on with it.

The four-year-old son of Shamus Award might have needed some fitness under his belt, so he could go back-to-back.

Barrier three should be enough to take him close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 11. (21:10) FWD Insurance Wing Lung Bank Handicap (1400m)

#5 – Winning Ovation

BET NOW

Looking to get back to winning form is Winning Ovation, who made it three straight wins before running second last start.

He was only beaten a nose last time out, and getting Purton in the saddle could be enough to see his winning form return.

He’s an excellent bet in the final race of the big race.

Stake: 3 Units
