Best Bet at Sha Tin: Autumn Vibes
Autumn Vibes was his own worst enemy on Hong Kong debut, pulling and tugging his way into the minor money on February 9. It was hard not be impressed by the raw ability he possessed, however, hitting the line well under Zac Purton despite a tricky run in transit. He’s been back to the trials to get his manners in check, and with Hugh Bowman set to take the reins from gate 10 this time, expect Autumn Vibes to be flashing over the top to claim his maiden success.
Best Bet
Race 2 – 
#4 Autumn Vibes (10)
3yo Gelding | T: Jamie Richards | J: Hugh Bowman (58.5kg)
Next Best at Sha Tin: Light Years Charm
The David Eustace-trained Light Years Charm will be looking to win his way into the Hong Kong Derby (2000m) in the Sha Tin finale and appears well placed to claim back-to-back wins. The Australian import couldn’t have been more impressive in his latest outing over the 1400m on February 9, storming clear of his rivals by 2.3 lengths under a strangle hold in the concluding stages. The 1600m should be no issue, and with Hugh Bowman likely to lob into the ideal stalking position from stall six, Light Years Charm should book his ticket into the final leg of the four-year-old series.
Next Best
Race 11 – 
#4 Light Years Charm (6)
4yo Gelding | T: David Eustace | J: Hugh Bowman (59kg)
Best Value at Sha Tin: invincible Sage
Invincible Sage brings depth of form to this Class 1 contest, and although he failed to fire a shot in the Group 1 Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup (1400m), he appears well placed stepping back in grade. He simply didn’t handle the step out to 1400m in his latest outing, however, he produced a blistering effort behind Ka Ying Rising in the Group 1 Centenary Sprint Cup (1200m) the start prior. He must lug top weight under Hugh Bowman, but with gate one allowing him to sit in behind a hot tempo, watch for Invincible Sage to be finishing off best at a good price with horse racing bookmakers.
Best Value
Race 8 – 
#1 Invincible Sage (1)
5yo Gelding | T: David Hall | J: Hugh Bowman (61kg)
