Sha Tin racing preview & quaddie picks | November 11, 2023
| What | Sha Tin Races |
| Where | Sha Tin Racecourse – Tai Po Rd, Sha Tin District, Hong Kong |
| When | Saturday, November 11, 2023 |
| First Race | 1pm HKT (4pm AEDT) |
Hong Kong racing heads back to Sha Tin Racecourse for a rare Saturday afternoon meeting. The rail is in the A+3 position throughout the entire circuit, and although there is some chance of rainfall hitting the track, we’re hopeful the surface remains a Good 4 for race-day. The opening race is set to get underway at 1pm HKT (4pm AEDT).
Best Bet at Sha Tin: Invincible Sage
Invincible Sage couldn’t have been more impressive when saluting on resumption at this course and distance on October 22, and we can’t see why he shouldn’t go on with the job. The son of Thronum launched down the Sha Tin straight course to salute by 1.3 lengths, and although he’s 2kgs worse off in the weights on Saturday, we expect Invincible Sage to do it again.
Best Bet
Race 3 – 
#1 Invincible Sage (4)
4yo Gelding | T: David Hall | J: Hugh Bowman (61kg)
Next Best at Sha Tin: Joyful Hunter
Joyful Hunter continues to run well without luck, but hopefully that can change on Saturday. The four-year-old gelding has raced wide and ran into trouble in his two starts to kick-off the campaign, with his latest concluding in a third-place finish after sitting three-wide the trip. Barrier three should give Joyful Hunter a much more economical run in transit this time, and if he can produce his explosive best, Joyful Hunter should send punters home happy.
Next Best
Race 10 – 
#3 Joyful Hunter (3)
4yo Gelding | T: Francis Lui | J: Lyle Hewitson (56kg)
Best Value at Sha Tin: Silver King
Silver King is set to make his Hong Kong racing debut for the Frankie Lor barn, and we’ve been impressed with how he’s been stepping out since arriving from Australia. He had two wins across three starts in Australia before his arrival, and he’s seeming held his ability since getting off the float. He won a 1600m jump-out stylishly on October 17 and with a similar setup likely for race-day conditions, Silver King should be building nicely before heading towards the four-year-old series.
Best Value
Race 5 – 
#2 Silver King (10)
4yo Gelding | T: Frankie Lor | J: Hugh Bowman (61kg)
