Sha Tin Sunday racing tips & quaddie | February 18, 2024
| What | Sha Tin Races |
| Where | Sha Tin Racecourse – Tai Po Rd, Sha Tin District, Hong Kong |
| When | Sunday, February 18, 2024 |
| First Race | 1pm HKT (4pm AEDT) |
Hong Kong racing heads back to Sha Tin on Sunday afternoon for a massive 10-race program. The rail moves out to the C+3 position, and with pristine conditions forecast across the weekend, the track should be rated a genuine Good 4. The opening race is scheduled to get underway at 1pm local time.
Best Bet: Global Harmony
After failing to leave the stalls in his most recent start, Global Harmony has been forced back to the barrier trials to get his manners in check. The David Hayes-trained gelding jumped perfectly in his latest piece of work at Sha Tin on February 6, leaving the gates evenly before cruising in behind California Spangle over the 1000m. When this improving five-year-old puts it all together, he can be electrifying, and provided he can replicate his winning effort two starts back, Global Harmony fits in beautifully in this Class 2 contest.
Best Bet
Race 8 – 
#11 Global Harmony (7)
5yo Gelding | T: David Hayes | J: Zac Purton (55kg)
Next Best: Lucky Fionn
Lucky Fionn has drawn barrier 12 and 13 to kick off his debut campaign, and despite finishing off boldly, the gates have proven too tough to overcome. The son of Per Incanto has been forced towards the rear of the field, leaving the four-year-old with far too much work to do when turning for home. Antoine Hamelin retains the ride, and with gate four allowing him to take a prominent position this time, Lucky Fionn finally gets his chance to chalk up a maiden victory.
Next Best
Race 4 – 
#8 Lucky Fionn (4)
4yo Gelding | T: Jamie Richards | J: Antoine Hamelin (57kg)
Next Best Again: The Best Peach
The Best Peach has only found one win across his 17 Hong Kong starts but has been ultra-consistent and somewhat luckless. His latest effort at this course on January 21 left the son of Twilight Son chasing a long way out in a stop-start affair over 2000m as Hugh Bowman tacked on towards the rear of the field from stall 13. A step back to 1800m shouldn’t be a concern for this guy, and if his latest barrier trial behind superstar Romantic Warrior is anything to go by, The Best Peach will be closing off best.
Next Best Again
Race 9 – 
#1 The Best Peach (2)
5yo Gelding | T: Tony Cruz | J: Karis Teetan (61kg)
