Sha Tin racing takes place on Friday, January 31, with an 11-race program set down for Sha Tin racetrack.
  • Race 6: No.3  Green N White
  • Race 8: No.1  Packing Hermod
  • Race 11: No.3  Packing Angel

We have the best bets picked from across the meeting with a Best Bet and other value selections for  Sha Tin racetrack.

Race 6: No.3  Green N White


The Ricky Yiu-trained galloper is in great touch this time in and ticks all the boxes here that suggest he can record win number six in this event.

Last start, the Smart Missile gelding took on his first black-type event and did well to finish third in the Group 3 Challenge Cup, here over 1400m.

After a good start, he drifted back to settle third-last of the 11 runners with Matthew Poon in the saddle.

Making good ground nearing the turn, he set after the leaders but spotted them too much start, still doing well to take ground off the winner (and favourite, Patch Of Theta), just missing second prize, finishing less than two lengths from glory.

Ideally drawn in gate two today, he maps to settle near mid-field with cover as Hugh Bowman returns, after steering him to victory four starts back.

Down in grade today, he meets Class 2 company and at his peak now, he looks the one to beat in this contest.


Race 8: No.1  Packing Hermod


One of four runners representing the Francis Lui stable here, Packing Hermod is in outstanding form and even sporting top weight here, looks the one to beat in this event.

Last start, the Rubick gelding missed his first top-two finish in six starts when finishing fourth in a Class 2, here over 1400m.

With Lyle Hewitson in the saddle, he drew the carpark in gate 11 and was eased back to the tail of the field, spotting the leaders a dozen lengths on settling.

The widest runner of all on the turn, he was never a winning chance from there but took plenty of ground off them, finishing just behind the placegetters, 1.5 lengths from victory.

Drawn much better in gate six today, where he maps to settle a lot closer, near mid-field with cover.

Zac Purton returns for the ride and is unbeaten from three rides on the four-year-old.

Already boasting three wins from four starts on the Sha Tin track, he ticks all the boxes here and will take beating in this contest.


Race 11: No.3  Packing Angel


Another from the Francis Lui stable is Packing Angel who after four stats back has found his mojo and has strong claims here that suggest his is in line for the hat-trick today.

Last start, the Shocking gelding came of a win at his first attempt over the 1400m when he repeated the dose by winning a Class 3 event, here over the same trip.

With Zac Purton aboard, he stepped up in grade from Class 4 company and had no trouble saluting again, going back-to-back.

He has drawn wide today in gate 10 (of 14) but maps to cross and settle better than mid-field with Purton steering the ship again.

The son of a Melbourne Cup winner, he has shown a liking for the 1400m trip and with a trouble-free run here, he could easily bring up the hat-trick in this contest.
