The Group 1 Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup (1400m) headlines a bumper 10-race program at Hong Kong’s Sha Tin Racecourse this Sunday. The rail is in the C position for the meeting, and with some chance of rainfall hitting the surface in the lead-up, punters should anticipate a possible downgrade into the Soft range at some stage. The opening race is set to get underway at 1pm local time.
Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup Tip: Beauty Eternal
Beauty Eternal has only missed the frame once in 12 career starts. That trend continued in his most recent effort behind Voyage Bubble in the Group 1 Stewards’ Cup (1600m), where he managed to finish runner-up. The five-year-old has to hold out the likes of Hong Kong sprinting champion Lucky Sweynesse, but with Zac Purton sticking with the John Size-trained gelding, Beauty Eternal can snag a much-deserved Group 1 victory in the Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup.

Best Bet at Sha Tin: Eighty Light Years
Eighty Light Years has produced back-to-back minor placings at this course and distance in Class 3 company. He was close to knocking off an airborne Gorgeous Win two starts back, before getting stuck three wide with no cover behind Ka Ying Rising on February 12. He gains the services of Zac Purton for the first time, and although he has a sticky draw in barrier eight, Eighty Light Years has his foot on the till for a second Hong Kong victory.

Next Best at Sha Tin: Patch Of Theta
Patch Of Theta is ready to win heading into start five and finds the ideal race to step up to the 1400m. He has found the minor money in all four starts in his debut Hong Kong campaign, most recently making up a stack of ground from an awful gate (12) on a track that clearly favoured on-speed runners. Barrier four should allow Hugh Bowman to hold a position throughout the contest, and when the whips are cracking, Patch Of Theta will prove best.

Best Value at Sha Tin: Aeroinvincible
Aeroinvincible was an eye-catcher on debut for the Pierre Ng barn at this course and distance on February 25 and should take plenty of benefit from race-day experience. He exploded through the wire but couldn’t make up the ground on Loyal Bo Bo, who was already off and gone with the prize. It was a promising debut considering he kicked things off over 1400m, and with improvement still to come, Aeroinvincible should be close to going one better on Sunday.
