After a historic night of Hong Kong racing at Happy Valley on Wednesday, attention turns to Sha Tin on Sunday afternoon, with a bumper 11-race program set for decision. All turf races will be run with the rail in the A+3 position the entire circuit, and with no rain set to hinder proceedings, participants can be assured of a genuine Good 4 surface throughout the afternoon. All the action is scheduled to get underway at 12:30pm HKT.
Best Bet at Sha Tin: Sunlight Power
Sunlight Power has been a model of consistency this season, posting a win and two minor placing across his five starts. The son of Capitalist has done it without much luck to boot, including his most recent outing at Sha Tin on January 12 where the five-year-old was forced to make inroads from the rear of the field after being dragged back from gate nine, running up behind a wall of horses and going through the line under a stranglehold. Zac Purton takes the reins from barrier one this time around, and with even luck in the concluding stages, Sunlight Power should justify the short price with Neds.

Next Best at Sha Tin: Gorgeous Win
Gorgeous Win has been unfortunate to run into an airbourne Raging Blizzard in his last two starts, finishing runner-up in back-to-back outings. The Press Statement gelding appears primed to got one better in this Class 2 contest, with Zac Purton likely to stalk his rival from barrier seven. Purton has a formidable record of six starts for four wins aboard the consistent Danny Shum-trained sprinter, and provided he can produce a peak figure, Gorgeous Win must be considered the one to beat in the first leg of the quaddie.

Best Value at Sha Tin: Monarch County
The Caspar Fownes-trained Monarch County may be unplaced in three starts this preparation; however, it isn’t a fair indication of how the son of Per Incanto is travelling heading into start four. The four-year-old was chopped out at the start at Sha Tin on December 8 and did a fantastic job to recover and get within 1.8 lengths of Happy Park. Stepping out to 1400m should be ideal, and with Hugh Bowman likely to lob into a handy position from stall two, expect a much improved version of Monarch County as he storms through the wire at an each-way price with horse racing bookmakers.
