Hong Kong racing returns to Sha Tin on Sunday afternoon, with the Group 3 Sa Sa Ladies’ Purse headlining a bumper 10-part program. The rail is in the C+3 position for the meeting, and with sunny skies forecast across the weekend, participants can be assured of a genuine Good 4 surface. All the action is scheduled to get underway at 1pm local time.
Sa Sa Ladies’ Purse Tip: Chancheng Glory
Chancheng Glory produced a strong return in the Group 2 Sha Tin Trophy (1600m) on October 13, attempting to lead throughout before being headed by Galaxy Patch in the shadows of the post. Stepping up to the 1800m second-up looks ideal, and with Vincent Ho being legged aboard from barrier seven, the son of Mor Spirit doesn’t need to lead this time around. Watch for Chancheng Glory to slot in for cover somewhere mid-field before exploding down the centre of the course to claim the 2024 Sa Sa Ladies’ Purse.

Best Bet at Sha Tin: Steps Ahead
The Francis Lui-trained Steps Ahead was a dominant 1.3-legnth winner at this course and distance at the end of last season and looks prepared to go on with the job. He drops 5.5kgs stepping into Class 3 company and should get a lovely run in transit from barrier six under Vincent Ho. Provided he can lob somewhere one-off the rail with cover, Steps Ahead will prove hard to hold out in his quest for back-to-back wins.

Next Best at Sha Tin: Markwin
Markwin was a good thing licked on Hong Kong debut and should’ve beaten home Aeroinvincible with even luck. He couldn’t get clear running when charging along the inside running rail, but still had the audacity to get within a half-length on the line. Derek Leung keeps the ride from barrier eight, and provided he can get a shade more luck in transit, Markwin should claim his maiden victory second-up.

Best Value at Sha Tin: Cheerful World
Cheerful World should’ve finished much closer than the 2.5-length margin may suggest at Sha Tin on October 1, crowded for room at a crucial stage as Geneva went right on by. Luke Ferraris was a victim of barrier one on that occasion, unable to build any momentum; however, that shouldn’t be the case from barrier four this time around. Watch for Cheerful World to stalk his rivals every step of the way, and when asked the ultimate question, this guy should give followers a bold sight at an each-way price with horse racing bookmakers.
