Hong Kong racing returns to Sha Tin Racecourse on Sunday afternoon, with an ultra-competitive 10-part program set for decision. The rail moves out to the C+3 position after racing in the true position last weekend for the Hong Kong International Races, and with no signs of rain despite the cool conditions, punters can anticipate a genuine Good 4 surface for race-day. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 1pm local time.
Best Bet at Sha Tin: Beauty Alliance
Beauty Alliance finished off well returning at Sha Tin on November 17, doing his best work late to get within 3.3 lengths of Super Love Dragon over 1400m. He was forced back to the rear from barrier 13 on that occasion and gets the opportunity to sit much closer in transit from stall one this time around. The 1600m should suit and the booking of Zac Purton shows strong intent from the John Size barn. He should lob onto the leaders back, and with even luck getting off the inside running rail, Beauty Alliance should prove hard to hold out at a good price Neds.

Next Best at Sha Tin: The Heir
The Heir drops back into Class 4 company for the first time, and although he’s winless across his 13 Hong Kong starts, this appears to be the perfect opportunity to strike. He’s been a model of consistency without winning against some quality opposition, closing to within 3.3 lengths of Charming Legend, and prior to that wasn’t beaten far by Steps Ahead. He drops down to 57.5kg after the 3kg claim of apprentice Ellis Wong, and with gate two aiding him on his journey, The Heir shouldn’t have any excuses to be figuring in the finishing at an each-way price with horse racing bookmakers.

Best Value at Sha Tin: Light Years Charm
Formerly racing under the name Bretsal in Australia, Light Years Charm makes his Hong Kong debut after being transferred to the David Eustance barn. The Rubick gelding was a dominant 3.5-length maiden winner at Lismore on June 18 before making the trek, and his latest barrier trial victory on the Sha Tin all-weather suggests he’s acclimatized well to his new conditions. Kicking off the campaign over 1400m shows good intent, and with barrier three allowing Andrea Atzeni to lob into the ideal stalking position, Light Years Charm should get every chance to make an impression first-up.

Race 8 – 
#9 Light Years Charm (3)
