The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 12:45pm HKT.
Best Bet at Sha Tin: Charity Gain
Charity Gain has been racing without much luck and appears primed to secure his second career victory. The Twilight Son gelding had too much work to do in his most recent outing at Happy Valley on November 27, powering home to get within a half-length of Affordable. James McDonald gets legged aboard for the first time, and with barrier five allowing the star hoop to take closer order, Charity Gain should have no issues justifying the short price with Neds.

Next Best at Sha Tin: City Thunder
City Thunder appears set to peak third-up into the campaign after an eye-catching performance behind Happy Park at this course and distance on December 8. The son of Starspangledbanner lunged and only missed by a half-length, with the top three clearing out on their respective rivals in the concluding stages. The booking of Zac Purton shows intent, and provided City Thunder can give his opposition the slip in the final furlong, this guy will prove hard to chase down.

Best Value at Sha Tin: Bling Bling Genius
Bling Bling Genius impressed in his last two barrier trials, winning by a combined five lengths across both pieces of work on the Conghua surface. The Douglas Whyte-trained gelding appears to have terrific barrier manners, holding the leaders’ back on both occasions before being pushed out to score impressively. Lyle Hewitson should land in a similar position drawn in stall three, and provided Bling Bling Genius can sprint fresh, expect this guy to give a good account of himself debuting at an each-way price with horse racing bookmakers.
