Hong Kong racing returns to Sha Tin on Sunday afternoon, with a bumper 10-race program set for decision. The rail is out in the B+2 position the entire circuit, and with nothing but sunny skies forecast across the weekend, punters can expect a genuine Good 4 surface. All the action is scheduled to get underway at 1pm local time.
Best Bet at Sha Tin: Masterofmyuniverse
Back-to-back minor placings should have Masterofmyuniverse ready to peak third-up in the campaign. The son of Havana Gold hasn’t had much luck getting clear in his two starts at Happy Valley, and the John Size-trained gelding should appreciate getting to the wide-open Sha Tin circuit for the first time. Zac Purton will need to manoeuvre into cover from barrier 11, but if breaks go his way, Masterofmyuniverse should prove too good for this lot as he wins his way out of Class 4 company.
Best Bet
Race 5 – 
#2 Masterofmyuniverse (11)
4yo Gelding | T: John Size | J: Zac Purton (59.5kg)

Next Best at Sha Tin: Shamus Storm
Shamus Storm appears poised to strike on debut after an eye-catching barrier trial on the Sha Tin all-weather circuit on December 10. The Shamus Award gelding bowled to the front under minimal riding, suggesting the unraced three-year-old had plenty left in the tank as he careered away to score by 2.5 lengths. Andrea Atzeni will have no choice but to drag back from barrier 13; however, if he can produce a similar turn of foot on race-day as he’s done at the trials, Shamus Storm should figure at a good price with BlondeBet.

Race 4 – 
#5 Shamus Storm (13)

Best Value at Sha Tin: Senor Toba
Senor Toba hasn’t claimed victory since February of 2023 and finally gets conditions to bounce back to his best. The Caspar Fownes-trained galloper appreciated the drop into Class 2 company in his latest outing at Happy Valley on December 4, hitting the line well over the 1800m. Getting out to the 2000m should be ideal, and with the booking of Hugh Bowman showing good intent third-up in the campaign, punters can expect Senor Toba to put in the big strides late at an each-way price with horse racing bookmakers.
Best Value
Race 3 – 
#1 Senor Toba (5)
7yo Gelding | T: Caspar Fownes | J: Hugh Bowman (61kg)
