Hong Kong racing moves to Sha Tin on Sunday afternoon for a competitive 10-race program from 1pm local time. There’s a mixture of all-weather and turf races lined up, with the rail moving into the C+3 position for all turf contests in order to protect the inside ground ahead of the Hong Kong International Races next Sunday. Warm conditions with no rain forecast over the weekend should keep the track at a Good 4 rating.
Best Bet: Greenwich
Greenwich makes his way to the Sha Tin all-weather circuit for the first time, and although he’s never seen race conditions on the surface, his trial suggests he will relish the opportunity. He had a jump-out on November 24 with Zac Purton making every post winner aboard the son of War Decree, scoring by a comfortable 1.3 lengths. He drops into Class 4 company for this 1200m event, and with gate one to aid his cause, Greenwich will take some chasing down.
Best Bet
Race 5 – #2 Greenwich (1)

Next Best: Ka Ying Cheer
Ka Ying Cheer is putting together a promising resume in his first Hong Kong campaign, with three starts for a win and two minor placings. He managed a third-place finish in his latest attempt in Class 3 despite being forced to chase, which didn’t suit the four-year-old frontrunner. He is drawn wide in this race, but provided Angus Chung can get across to lead on the rail, Ka Ying Cheer will give followers a bold sight.

Race 9 – #1 Ka Ying Cheer (12)

Best Value: Awesome Fluke
Formerly known as Awesome John in Australia, Awesome Fluke will make his Hong Kong debut for the Caspar Fownes barn. His form prior to heading overseas was quite strong, with the son of Awesome Rock winning the Group 2 WATC Derby (2400m) at Ascot on April 8. First-up over 1400m may not be grand final day, with the Four-Year-Old Classic Series the likely target; however, Awesome Fluke has shown enough at the trials to warrant an each-way play.
Best Value
Race 10 – #1 Awesome Fluke (3)
4yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher & David Eustace | J: Harry Coffey (54kg)
