Group 1 racing returns to Sha Tin on Sunday afternoon, with the Group 1 Centenary Sprint Cup (1200m) headlining a stacked 10-race program. The rail moves out to the A+3 position for the meeting, and with no rain forecast to spoil festivities, punters should be assured a genuine Good 4 surface. The opening race is set to get underway at 1pm local time.
Centenary Sprint Cup Tip: Lucky Sweynesse
We simply can’t be against Lucky Sweynesse in the Group 1 Centenary Sprint Cup (1200m) after an outstanding performance in the Group 1 Hong Kong Sprint (1200m) on December 10. He was the ultimate professional on that occasion, bounding away to score by the better part of a length despite being held-up at a crucial stage. He is the obvious class in this field and although he’s by no means unbeatable on Sunday, all things being even, Lucky Sweynesse will continue to be Hong Kong’s premier sprinter.

Best Bet at Sha Tin: Gorgeous Win
Gorgeous Win has produced three terrific performances to start his Hong Kong campaign and appears primed to find his second victory at start four. The son of Press Statement was beaten by a nose at his most recent start at this track and trip on December 26 and locked horns with Raging Blizzard for the majority of the home straight. The Danny Shum barn sent the three-year-old for a tick-over trial since, and with gate three giving Zac Purton plenty of options, we can only see Gorgeous Win figuring somewhere in the finish.

Next Best at Sha Tin: Green N White
Green N White was disappointing at Sha Tin on January 1; however, we want to be forgiving of the Ricky Yiu-trained galloper. He was two months between runs and lacked race-day fitness after a tiring effort prior on November 5 behind Drombeg Banner and will take massive improvement heading into Sunday. Zac Purton makes the decision to stick aboard this progressive type, and although he was a costly commodity last time out, we’re giving him one more chance to make amends here.

Best Value at Sha Tin: The Khan
The sixth race is one of the more wide-open affairs on the program and at a massive price, we’re willing to side with The Khan. He’s having his first career start on Sunday afternoon, and although his barrier trials have left a bit to be desired, his most recent jump-out was a dramatic improvement. He shifted to the inside running rail to save all the ground over the 1000m Sha Tin straight on January 9 and we like the way he coasted through the line. Karis Teetan will have no choice but to drag him back towards the rear of the field, so watch for this guy to be storming home late.
