Hong Kong racing continues at Sha Tin on Sunday afternoon, where a bumper 10-race program awaits punters. The rail moves out to the C+3 position for all races on the turf course, and with pristine conditions forecast leading into the weekend, participants should be racing on a Good 4 surface. The opening event is scheduled to commence at 1pm HKT.
Best Bet at Sha Tin: Wunderbar
Wunderbar endured a tough run at this course and distance on December 22, sitting three and four wide throughout the journey to finish 4.3 lengths off Raging Blizzard. He had no luck crossing from barrier 11, with the son of Rich Enuff knuckling down to the task despite the torrid run in transit. Zac Purton will attempt to dictate terms from stall two this time around, and with a swing in the weights on a couple of key rivals, expect Wunderbar to get back to winning ways in this quality Class 2 contest.

Next Best at Sha Tin: Ka Ying Radiance
The David Hayes-trained Ka Ying Radiance appears set to make an impression on debut, showing a blistering turn of speed winning a recent barrier trial at Conghua on December 13. His barrier manners have been an issue, being slowly away on multiple occasions; however, the booking of Zac Purton appears to be key, and with the chance of a good price with horse racing bookmakers, punters won’t want to miss out if this unraced three-year-old can strike first-up.

Best Value at Sha Tin: Light Years Charm
Light Years Charm was an eye-catcher on his Hong Kong debut at Sha Tin on December 15, hitting the line well in an on-speed-dominated affair. The Australian import was heavily backed with Picklebet prior to the jump, and had it not been for a chequered passage, the son of Rubick should’ve finished much closer than the 3.8-length margin may suggest. Light Years Charm can only improve with the run under his belt, and although this is a deep Class 3 contest, it would come as a shock if this guy wasn’t fighting out the finish.
