Hong Kong racing heads to the bright lights of Sha Tin on Wednesday evening, with an eight-race program lined up on the all-weather circuit. Conditions should be ideal for all participants, with perfect weather forecast in the lead-up. The opening race is set to get underway at 7:15pm local time, with the rail in the true position throughout the meeting.
Best Bet at Sha Tin: Blissful Star
Back-to-back minor placings on the all-weather circuit should hold Blissful Star in good stead for the opening event on Wednesday night. The gelding by Power was narrowly defeated at this track and trip two starts back on December 3, as All Are Mine pushed through the pack to get the head down on the line. The quinella pair cleared out by 2.3 lengths back to third position, and since that effort, the six-year-old produced another strong performance over the 1650m on December 23. Blissful Star appears set to peak at his third start on the surface, so watch for this guy to be closing best.

Next Best at Sha Tin: All For St Paul’s
All For St Paul’s secured victory at this course and distance on October 25 and hasn’t really been able to replicate that performance on the turf. He has finished a combined 18 lengths away from victory in his two starts and looks desperate to get back to his favourite surface. This race lacks speed, so All For St Paul’s should get a relatively uncontested lead throughout the 1650m trip. Angus Chung gives him some weight relief courtesy of his 2.5kg claim, and with on speed gallopers usually getting an advantage during these night meetings, All For St Paul’s will look the winner at some stage.

#2 All For St Paul’s (2)

Next Best Again at Sha Tin: Flying Dragon
Flying Dragon has been ultra-consistent for the Dennis Yip barn and makes his return to the all-weather circuit after a terrific performance down the Sha Tin straight course. He was no match for Fun Elite and Baby Crystal who were off to fight out the finish, however, the son of Per Incanto showed his tenacity and knuckled down to finish 4.3 lengths away in fifth. His last run at this course and distance was an eye-catching minor placing behind Judy’s Great, and with Hugh Bowman having a strong association with Flying Dragon, we’re confident he can be fighting out the finish again.
