Hong Kong racing returns to Sha Tin for a rare Saturday meeting, where a competitive 10-race program is set to get underway at 1pm local time. The card is split between the turf and all-weather circuits, with the rail in the C+3 for all turf contests throughout the afternoon. There are some showers predicted in the lead-up; however, with excellent drainage at Sha Tin, the surface should hold its Good 4 rating.
Best Bet at Sha Tin: Call Me Glorious
Call Me Glorious was sensational on debut at this course and distance on February 25 and wasn’t disgraced in his following effort in Class 3 company. He was collared by Ka Ying Rising but held on comfortably to secure a second-place finish, running sharp time in the process. Watch for Lyle Hewitson to lead throughout from barrier seven, and provided he can tick-over a soft sectional in the middle stages, Call Me Glorious will take a power of beating.
Best Bet
Race 8 – 
#7 Call Me Glorious (7)

Next Best at Sha Tin: Chill Chibi
After a bold showing in the Hong Kong Derby (2000m) on March 23, Chill Chibi appears well placed in this Class 2 contest. The son of Wrote hit the line powerfully under Jerry Chau despite getting into a bumping duel with 150 metres left to travel. He should be able to slide across into the one-one throughout the 1800m journey, and with a genuine tempo engaged with the likes of Flaming Rabbit and All For St Paul’s attempting to burn the candle at both ends, Chill Chibi should be closing off best.

Race 9 – 
#4 Chill Chibi (5)

Best Value at Sha Tin: Prince Of Porty
Prince Of Porty hasn’t found the minor money in six starts this preparation; however, dropping back into Class 4 should be a major benefit. His only two wins have come in this grade, with his debut victory at this track and trip proving a gritty effort in January 2023. He should lob midfield under Hugh Bowman, and although he may need luck down the Sha Tin straight, Prince Of Porty warrants an each-way ticket with online bookmakers.
Best Value
Race 4 – 
#1 Prince Of Porty (4)
5yo Gelding | T: David Hall | J: Hugh Bowman (61kg)
