Sha Tin Sunday racing tips & quaddie | October 1, 2023
| What | Sha Tin Races |
| Where | Sha Tin Racecourse – Tai Po Rd, Sha Tin District, Hong Kong |
| When | Sunday, September 1, 2023 |
| First Race | 1pm HKT (4pm AEDT) |
We kick-off the new month of racing in Hong Kong, as Sha Tin Racecourse is set to host a massive 10-race program. The Group 3 National Day Cup (1000m) is the feature event, with a field of seven tackling the Sha Tin straight course. The rail is in the C+3 position for the meeting, and with much-improved weather predicted surrounding the track, we should be racing on a genuine Good 4 surface. The first race is scheduled to get underway at 1pm HKT (4pm AEDT).
National Day Cup Tip: Whizz Kid
Whizz Kid goes on top in what looks a tricky edition of the National Day Cup (1000m) to dissect. He returned to this course and distance on September 17, being narrowly defeated by Kurpany, and found himself in the unfamiliar chasing role. He wasn’t unsuited to it, however, powering into a clear second-place finish. He’ll be fitter for that effort, and with 52kgs on his back, we think Whizz Kid can pickup his first win since November of 2022.

Best Bet at Sha Tin: Super Sunny Sing
Super Sunny Sing was sensational when resuming at Sha Tin on September 10 over the 1400m; and did more than enough to signal he’s worth following second-up. The son of Nicconi closed off gamely from the back-half of the field and will only appreciate getting to the 1600m on Sunday. The last time Super Sunny Sing got to the mile, it was a demolition job in Class 3 company, and despite this being Class 2, we think he can produce a new peak performance.

Next Best at Sha Tin: Ruby Sailing
Ruby Sailing is testing the patience of followers with three-straight second place finishes to his name. His latest came down the Sha Tin straight course on September 10 when beaten a nose by Champion Method, who fought off the canvas to steal victory. Ruby Sailing looked to be wayward when hitting the lead along way out, and it may have been the undoing of the three-year-old gelding. We get the key booking of Zac Purton to keep his mind on the job, and this seems like the perfect opportunity for Ruby Sailing to break his maiden status.

Next Best Again at Sha Tin: Ka Ying Cheer
Ka Ying Cheer comes from the Pierre Ng barn and will make his Hong Kong racing debut on Sunday afternoon. The son of Reward For Effort has had three winning barrier trials on the all-weather surface leading into race-day, beating home some impressive types in the process. Jump-outs don’t always translate to race-day success; however, he’ll give himself every chance with a favourable racing pattern. Keith Yeung will be looking to lead from barrier eight, and if Ka Ying Cheer can pinch a break, he should give a bold sight at a nice price with online bookmakers.
