The 2023/24 Hong Kong racing season comes to a close at Sha Tin on Sunday afternoon, leaving punters with a bumper 11-race program to sink their teeth into. The rail is in the A course for the meeting, and although the humid conditions could prove testing for all participants, the track should be a genuine Good 4. All the action for the final day is scheduled to get underway at 4pm local time.
Best Bet at Sha Tin: Call Me Glorious
Call Me Glorious searches for a hat-trick of wins as he tackles Class 2 company for the first time. The son of No Nay Never couldn’t have been more impressive in his most recent victory at this course and distance on June 15, making every post a winner to score by 6.5 lengths on bottomless conditions. He’s just as formidable on top of the ground, and although he may not be able to cross and lead this contest, provided Zac Purton can gain cover throughout from stall five, Call Me Glorious will prove hard to hold out.

Next Best at Sha Tin: Steps Ahead
Steps Ahead has been a costly commodity for punters, with the Francis Lui-trained gelding finding the minor money on three straight occasions; two of which were as a well-supported favourite with online bookmakers. He was clearly the best of the beaten at this track and trip on June 23, with the three-year-old the only runner to make strong inroads late, as the quinella pair were off and gone with the prize. He should be ready to peak fourth-up, and with Zac Purton likely to trail the leaders back throughout, Steps Ahead should shirk the maiden tag.

Best Value at Sha Tin: Brilliant Express
Brilliant Express looks primed third-up into the campaign and should relish stepping up in trip to 1400m for the first time. The gelding by Starspangledbanner was no match for Glory Elite at Sha Tin on June 15, but the lightly raced three-year-old appeared to be doing his best work late under Hugh Bowman. He’s won a tick-over trial since, and with gate one allowing Bowman to take closer order this time, Brilliant Express should be figuring in the finish.
