Hong Kong racing resumes at Sha Tin on Sunday afternoon, with a mixture of turf and all-weather races lined up for a bumper 10-race program. The rail is in the C+3 position for all races on the course proper, and with nothing but sunny skies forecast across the weekend, punters are ensured a genuine Good 4 surface. All the action is scheduled to get underway at 1pm HKT.
Best Bet at Sha Tin: Masterofmyuniverse
Masterofmyuniverse steps into Class 3 company for the first time after a dominant win at this course and distance on December 29. The son of Havana Gold was far too classy for his rivals on that occasion, bounding clear to score by 2.3 lengths as the untapped four-year-old prevailed relatively untested. Zac Purton should have no issues slotting in for cover from stall eight, and provided he can unleash his devasting turn-of-foot when asked the ultimate question, Masterofmyuniverse appears well placed to secure back-to-back wins.

Next Best at Sha Tin: Rubylot
Rubylot was sensational in defeat at this track and trip on December 8 and came within a whisker of claiming Packing Hermod. The Rubick gelding simply had a worse run in transit, with the four-year-old forced to circle the entire field in the concluding stages. He gets a 2.5kg swing in the weights on his key rival this time around, and with Brenton Avdulla likely to sit closer from gate two, watch for Rubylot to turn the tables at a good price with BlondeBet.

Best Value at Sha Tin: Positive Smile
The David Hayes-trained Positive Smile drops back into Class 4 company after being unplaced in his four starts. The son of Per Incanto has been a big improver in his last two performances, however, with the Australian import closing impressively down the Sha Tin straight course on December 29. He maps to get a soft run throughout the 1200m journey, and provided he can flash home once again, expect Positive Smile to be a major player at the each-way price with horse racing bookmakers.
