The Group 3 National Day Cup (1000m) headlines the action at Sha Tin on Tuesday afternoon, with a bumper 10-race program set for decision. The rail moves out to the C+3 position, and with no rain forecast in the lead-up, participants are all but assured a Good 4 throughout the afternoon. The rails in running could be an advantage, especially early in the card, so punters will need to be wary of any on-speed bias after the opening event at 1pm local time.
National Day Cup Tip: Call Me Glorious
Call Me Glorious returns after being narrowly defeated by Beauty Waves at Sha Tin on July 14 and gets a terrific opportunity to turn the tables on that key rival in the National Day Cup. He draws gate five down the Sha Tin straight course and shouldn’t have any issue sliding into a stalking position behind a hot tempo. Lyle Hewitson will need to navigate a passage to get clear in the bunching nine-horse field, but provided the breaks fall his way, Call Me Glorious should give punters a bold sight at an each-way price with horse racing bookmakers.

Best Bet at Sha Tin: New Future Folks
New Future Folks impressed in his one and only start last preparation, screaming home to finish runner-up behind Super Bonus at this course and distance on July 1. He cut the corner from last turning for home, and although he didn’t pick up the victory, the effort suggested the son of Savabeel has plenty of raw ability. Ben Thompson can be positive and lead from gate 10 this time around, and provided he can get there comfortably, New Future Folks will take plenty of chasing down.

Next Best at Sha Tin: Patch Of Theta
Patch Of Theta burst onto the scene at the end of last season, winning four of his last six starts, including a dominant victory at this track and trip on July 14. The son of Zoustar had no issues lugging 61kg to score by 2.3 lengths in Class 3 company, and although this Class 2 contest has more depth, he gets in well, dropping down to 55.5kg with Vincent Ho in the saddle. He’ll be stalking from the one-one, and provided he can accelerate like he did at the end of last preparation, Patch Of Theta should be right in this.
