Race 1. (21:45) Osmanthus Handicap (1650m)

#9 – Meepmeep

BET NOW

We have backed Meepmeep a few times this season without success, but the six-year-old has been close with two recent placings.

The son of Not a Single Doubt placed at Sha Tin in consecutive runs before finishing fifth last start, and he wasn’t far away.

Hugh Bowman rides, which adds to his appeal in the opener.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (22:15) Magnolia Handicap (1200m)

#8 – Macanese Master

BET NOW

Consistency is with Macanese Master, who won at Happy Valley four back before adding three placings to his record.

The six-year-old son of Universal Ruler is always around the mark no matter what field he faces, and that should be the case again.

Ethan Brown rides from barrier five, so he will get every hope.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 3. (22:45) Carnation Handicap (1200m)

#4 – Cloud Nine

BET NOW

Cloud Nine is only a three-year-old, but he has made a positive start to his career with four starts for two placings.

The son of Tiger Heat had three runs at Sha Tin last preparation for one placing before resuming for second at Happy Valley last start.

The wide barrier isn’t ideal, but luck should take him close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (23:15) Lotus Handicap (1800m)

#10 – Firefoot

BET NOW

Firefoot could go under the radar in this race, and the five-year-old looks to go one better than last start.

He ran second behind Foremost Teddy at Sha Tin All-Weather, so having track experience could be enough to take him close.

Getting down in the weights at 52.5kg makes him a contender.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (23:45) Carnation Handicap (1200m)

#5 – Mega Awesome

BET NOW

Looking to make a winning debut for David Hayes is Mega Awesome, who has looked above average at the trials.

The three-year-old son of Hellbent gets the services of Zac Purton in the saddle, which is always a leading guide for punters.

We expect him to run at short odds on race night.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 6. (00:15) Chamomile Handicap (1650m)

#5 – Blossomy

BET NOW

Blossomy turned his form around in a big way as a $22 shot last start, and that form could stack up well here.

The four-year-old son of Love Conquers All hadn’t shown too much before the win, but he raced with limited luck.

The penny might have dropped now, so take the odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (00:45) Carnation Handicap (1200m)

#2 – Natural High

BET NOW

Seeking back-to-back wins is Natural High, who got up in the final strides at Sha Tin.

The five-year-old owns four wins from 18 starts, and he doesn’t often string wins together, there isn’t too much depth in this field.

Punters should get a value price from bookmakers.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (01:15) Camellia Handicap (1650m)

#7 – Sky Vino

BET NOW

Punters should get each-way odds for Sky Vino, who ran second at Happy Valley last time out.

The four-year-old owns a win and two placings at Sha Tin, so having experience on this surface only helps his chances to win.

Joao Moreira rides, and he’s starting to regain his best form.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 9. (01:50) Begonia Handicap (1200m)

#1 – Romantic Son

BET NOW

Looking to get back to winning form is Romantic Son, who won back-to-back races at Happy Valley earlier this preparation.

The five-year-old son of Smart Missile owns five wins from 22 starts, and his third placing on this surface last start bodes well.

We expect him to run well against a tough field.

Stake: 1.5 Units
