Sha Tin Wednesday tips & quaddie picks | October 25, 2023
| What | Sha Tin Races |
| Where | Sha Tin Racecourse – Tai Po Rd, Sha Tin District, Hong Kong |
| When | Wednesday, October 25, 2023 |
| First Race | 7:15pm HKT (10:15pm AEDT) |
Sha Tin Racecourse is the destination for Hong Kong racing on Wednesday evening with a rare all-weather meeting under lights. Eight races are set for decision as the surface specialists get their chance to claim success. The rail is unmoved in the true position, with the opening event scheduled for 7:15pm HKT (10:15pm AEDT).
Best Bet: Adefill
Adefill is an all-weather specialist and looks primed to make a first-up statement for the Ricky Yiu barn. He’s had three outstanding barrier trials, keeping the son of Deep Field up to the mark during the offseason, and finds a very winnable assignment. Karis Teetan will slot in for cover from barrier eight, and watch for Adefill to be doing his best work late.
Best Bet
Race 6 – 
#3 Adefill (8)
5yo Gelding | T: Ricky Yiu | J: Karis Teetan (58.5kg)
Next Best: Youthful Deal
Youthful Deal put together three wins on the all-weather surface at the end of last preparation, rising through the grades stylishly for trainer Frankie Lor. His return at Sha Tin on September 10 left a lot to be desired, as the five-year-old finished last of six runners in the Class 1 Chief Executive’s Cup. That was on the turf course, however, and returning to his favoured surface second-up, expect Youthful Deal to recapture his best.
Next Best
Race 7 – 
#5 Youthful Deal (4)
5yo Gelding | T: Frankie Lor | J: Matthew Chadwick (57kg)
Next Best Again: Self Improvement (12)
Self Improvement returned a winner at this course and distance on September 17, toughing out a victory by a half-length on the wire. Both he and the runner-up, Euro Rocks, put a significant margin back to third as the pair fought out the finish. It was a brave performance by Self Improvement, and with a month between runs and a lovely tick-over trial since, we’re confident Zac Purton can make it back-to-back wins on the five-year-old gelding.
Next Best Again
Race 8 – 
#4 Self Improvement (12)
4yo Gelding | T: Manfred Man | J: Zac Purton (57kg)
