Sha Tin racing takes place on Wednesday, July 1 with an 11-race program set down for the Sha Tin racetrack.

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


Race 4: No.2  Lahore


The Jamie Richards-trained galloper is second-up tonight and gives every indication he will be hard to beat in this event.

Last start, the Hellbent gelding resumed off a six-week let-up and the short break clearly did him good as he clobbered his rivals in a Class 4 Hcp, here over the 1000m sprint.

Down the straight course, he jumped from the middle of the field and ridden a treat by Zac Purton, settled just behind the speed before finding clean air inside the final 300m and from there it was all one-way traffic as he went on to score by 2.5 lengths on the line.

Meeting similar company tonight down the straight course again, he draws out a little further in gate two where he maps to be near the speed with Purton retaining the ride.

Fitter for that first-up win, he carries more weight but is a track and trip specialist who looks a big chance of going back-to-back in this contest.


Race 7: No.12  Lucky Candy


Cody Mo saddles-up Lucky Candy here who has been racing well of late without winning but gets his chance to turn that around in this event.

Last start, the Australian-bred gelding made it four-straight podium finishes when he beat all but one home in a Class 3 Hcp, here down the straight course over 1000m.

He drew the outside gate (14), putting him on the grandstand fence and jumped well, settling better than mid-field before finishing off strongly, arriving one bound too late in the end, taking home second prize again in a tight finish.

Drawn gate seven tonight, he maps to settle mid-field or better with Alex Badel steering the ship again, in search of his first win on the gelding after four previous minor placings.

Unlucky in his past two, the four-year-old can go one better in this contest.


Race 10: No.2  Amazing Partners


The Francis Lui-trained galloper has been a model of consistency in his eight career starts to date and looks a major force in this event.

Last start, the Pierata gelding was shooting for eight-straight podium finishes when he came up short, finishing fourth in a Class 3 Hcp, here over 1600m.

From gate 12, he was slowly away and settled last of the 13 runners, a dozen lengths off the speed before tracking wide near the turn, then putting in the big ones, he ran home strongly only to be beaten by the placegetters in the race, two lengths adrift.

Drawn much better here in gate three, he maps to settle in the back half of the field but should be saving ground nearer the fence tonight.

All eight starts have been on the Sha Tin track so he knows his way around here and in such good form with a better gate tonight, he looks one of the main chances in this contest.


Race 11: No.4  Super Strong Kid


Looking to end the night on a high, the Manfred Man-trained galloper is second-up here and ticks the boxes that suggest he can be a force at odds in this event.

Last start, the Brutal gelding resumed after six-months in the paddock and although in need of the run, was disgraced when finishing mid-field in a Class 3 Hcp, here over 1000m.

Down the straight course, he settled back in the field before Jerry Chau asked him for a final effort where he ran home strongly and never stopped chasing, doing his best work over the final 100m, beaten three lengths over the line.

The stable put him over the 1200m tonight where he draws gate nine and maps to settle near mid-field with Andrea Atzeni taking the reins for the first time.

Already a winner when second-up and a track specialist here, boasting two wins and three minor placings from his seven starts to date, he lines-up here well worth an each-way ticket in this contest.
