Sha Tin horse racing tips

Race 1. (15:30) Peniaphobia Handicap (1000m)

#2 – Sparkling Fellow

Getting close to scoring an overdue win is Sparking Fellow, who has two placings from four starts this preparation.

The five-year-old son of Street Boss gets the services of Zac Purton in the saddle, and that could be enough to make the difference.

The last time Purton rode, he finished third, so that’s a good sign.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (16:00) Beat the Clock Handicap (1200m)

#4 – Gallant Design

Looking to make a winning debut is Gallant Design, who has looked good enough at the trials to make an impact.

The Jamie Richards-trained son of Ole Kirk is bred to show early speed, and jumping from barrier five adds to his appeal.

Look for a betting push on race day.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (16:30) Ambitious Dragon Handicap (2000m)

#5 – Gentleman Legacy

The five-year-old son of Showtime wasn’t far away when third last time out, and he has been close to posting a win.

He owns four wins and nine placings from 19 starts, and some of his best form comes at Sha Tin, so he’s good enough to handle this field.

Barrier four gives him all favours in the run, so he’s worth backing.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (17:00) My Vitality Handicap (1200m)

#1 – Packing Glory

Packing Glory showed good speed when winning on debut at Sha Tin, and he wasn’t far away when fifth last time out.

The four-year-old son of Harry Angel finished 2.5 lengths behind the winner as a $2.40 chance, and punters should expect similar odds this time around.

Purton rides, adding to his good book of rides.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (17:30) Sound Print Handicap (1400m)

#5 – Turin Champions

Looking to cap off consecutive second placings is Turin Champions, who placed at Happy Valley before running second at Sha Tin as a $22 chance.

We expect shorter odds for the three-year-old son of Harry Angel, who only needs a touch of luck from a wide barrier.

Getting Bowman in the saddle could offset the barrier.

Stake: 1 Unit


Race 6. (18:00) Centenary Sprint Cup (1200m) – GROUP 1

Race 7. (18:35) Waikuku Handicap (1400m)

#4 – Positive Smile

Positive Smile was too good for them last time out when scoring at Sha Tin, and the penny might have dropped now.

The David Hayes-trained gelding is a three-time winner, and he should have won more. He has run close with three placings this prep, and he could have easily won those.

Punters should get each-way value odds on race day.

Stake: 1 Unit


Race 8. (19:05) Steward’s Cup (1600m) – GROUP 1

Race 9. (19:40) Able Friend Handicap (1200m)

#5 – Packing Angel

Looking to make an impact fresh up is Packing Angel, who owns three wins and two placings from eight starts.

The five-year-old son of Shocking ran third behind Cap Ferrat in a tough race last start, and that form bodes well for this race.

Punters should get value odds for the minor upset.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 10. (20:15) Aerovelocity Handicap (1200m)

#10 – Winning Buddies

Winning Buddies showed good pace to win on debut in New Zealand, scoring by a half-length over the talented Casino.

The four-year-old son of Castelvecchio will need to be good to win in Hong Kong, but he profiles well, and getting in with 55kg helps.

Double-figure odds could be available on race day.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 11. (20:50) Beauty Generation Handicap (1600m)

#11 – Packing Fighter

Packing Fighter won on debut at Gowran Park before being sold to Hong Kong and finishing fourth at Sha Tin.

That was a solid HK debut, and the four-year-old should only improve with more racing under his belt this season.

We’re happy to include him in picks at the odds.

Stake: 1 Unit
