Sha Tin Racecourse is the destination for Hong Kong racing on Sunday afternoon, with a bumper 10-race program set for decision. The rail is in the B+2 position for the meeting, and although some rainfall is forecast in the lead-up, it should have little to no effect on the Good 4 rating at the time of acceptances. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 12:45pm local time.
Best Bet at Sha Tin: Sky Jewellery
The argument can be made Sky Jewellery should be undefeated heading into start five, with The Autumn Sun gelding having clear excuses in his two defeats. That includes his latest effort at this course and distance on March 15, with the three-year-old laying in on Hong Lok Golf as the pair spaced their rivals by 2.5 lengths. He’s the horse with upside in the Sha Tin finale, and provided the breaks fall his way from gate nine, Sky Jewellery should put them away with relative ease.

#9 Sky Jewellery (9)

Next Best at Sha Tin: The Boom Box
It was ugly viewing for The Boom Box backers in his latest outing at Sha Tin on March 9, with the Spirit Of Boom gelding suffering his first defeat at start four as he sat wide throughout the journey. He was gallant considering the circumstances, holding his position to finish alongside Armour War Eagle and Magnificent Nine. Zac Purton gets legged aboard, so punters will be forced to take a short price with horse racing bookmakers; however, with The Boom Box set to get the run of the race from gate two, this guy should repay the faith.

Best Value at Sha Tin: Winning Ovation
Winning Ovation produced a slashing maiden victory at Salisbury on August 14 before arriving in Hong Kong, and the son of Cotai Glory seems to have settled in well to the Tony Cruz barn. His latest barrier trial at Conghua particularly caught the eye, with the three-year-old building the revs nicely in the concluding stages to suggest he’s on song for this first-up assignment. He should land in a stalking position mid-field with cover, and although the likes of Lifeline Express and Geneva will prove hard to hold out, Winning Ovation warrants respect at the each-way price with .
