Hong Kong racing returns to Sha Tin Racecourse on Sunday afternoon, with a bumper 11-part program lined up on the turf. The rail moves out to the C+3 position the entire circuit, and with sunny skies forecast across the weekend, punters can anticipate a genuine Good 4 surface. All the action at Sha Tin is scheduled to get underway at 12:30pm HKT.
Best Bet at Sha Tin: Top Dragon
Top Dragon appears set to peak third-up in the campaign after a barnstorming effort at this course and distance on January 19. The son of Pierata showed a tremendous turn of speed to close within a half-length of Blazing Wind and had the three-year-old got out a stride earlier, he would’ve made things interesting as the pair past the post. Harry Bentley gets the chance to slot into the one-one from barrier three, and provided Top Dragon can reproduce his last start performance, expect this guy to justify favouritism with horse racing bookmakers.
Best Bet
Race 2 – 
#2 Top Dragon (3)
3yo Gelding | T: Chris So | J: Harry Bentley (58.5kg)
Next Best at Sha Tin: Spirit Of Peace
Spirit Of Peace couldn’t have been more impressive breaking his maiden at Happy Valley on January 22. The son of Harry Angel produced a devastating turn-of-foot in the final furlong to power away by a half-length, with the four-year-old relishing every inch of the 1200m. Stepping up to the 1400m at Sha Tin should be ideal, and provided the breaks fall his way from the awkward draw (9), Spirit Of Peace must be considered the one to beat in this Class 4 contest.

#1 Spirit Of Peace (9)

Best Value at Sha Tin: Magnificent Nine
Magnificent Nine is yet to taste success in Hong Kong, with the Toronado gelding finding the minor money in six of his 16 starts. His best performance came at this track and trip two starts back, however, with the John Size-trained galloper relishing the drop back into Class 4 company when nosed out by Another World on January 5. Brenton Avdulla will look to slot in for cover from barrier seven, and although he must lug 61kg to victory, Magnificent Nine should get every chance to claim his first Hong Kong win.
