Sha Tin - 28/01/24

Its Centenary Sprint Cup day and boy oh boy is it going to be a cracking race! Lets see what else we can find throughout the meeting.

R1 - Fu Tai Handicap - 2000M - C4

2 - Nicholson Returns - Zac Purton

Already beaten by both Jubilation and Wonder Years last start when he ran in 3rd behind both still wasn't a run to be ashamed of, Jubilation just had a good control of the race. Made ground up from 4th last at the 800M and was still showing speed that could of caught at least Wonder Years. Similar barrier again and Zac Purton taking his 2nd ride this prep on him. Can see him coming out on top this time around.

Danger - Winning Steps

Selections - 2 - 7 -3 - 8

R2 - Lung Yat Handicap - 1600M - C5

6 - One Heart One - Hugh Bowman

Have been watching this horse for awhile now yet to break his maidan but was impressive last start at Happy Valley. Looks a great chance to win against this field, if everything goes his way and he avoids a bump when making his run this time around could be the winner.

Danger - Diamond Diamond

Selections - 6 - 2 - 1 - 11

R3 - On Ting Handicap - 1200M - C4

2 - Second to None - Jamie Kah - Best Bet

Of all Jamie Kah's rides today I see this the one she wins STN was outstanding on his second run showing to get a very comfortable win, seems to love the rail already and has a great jump speed which will be unbeatable from gate #1. Gets my best bet for the day.

Danger - Loyal Bo Bo

Selections - 2 - 10 - 13 - 8

R4 - Po Tin Handicap - 1400M - C4

5 - Celtic Times - Zac Purton

Already running top 3 four times this prep he is very close to getting that first win, Cody Mo stable seems to be bringing him closer and closer to it after taking him on from Jimmy Ting defiantly progressing a lot better this term and has a chance to get the win here today.

Danger - Panda Legend

Selections - 5 - 10 - 12 - 4

R5 - The Yan Oi Tong Cup - 1600M - C4

13 - Horse of Good Luck - Keegan De Melo - Each Way

I liked what I saw last start from this one and how KDM handled the race it was actually an exciting battle from 4-6 horses for the minors before Fallon stormed over the top. KDM third ride on this one and may just be in it this time around.

Danger - Joyful Prosperity

Selections - 13 - 12 - 5 - 2

R6 - On Ting Handicap - 1200M - C4

13 - Champion Instinct - Andrea Atzeni

Last start was no easy win as Eighty Light Years was just on another level, had a great run down the straight to claim 2nd, if he settles better this race and at a lighter weight this time could see him taking the win here.

Danger - Patch Of Theta

Selections - 13 - 7 - 6 - 3

R7 - Tai Hing Handicap - 1200M - C3

9 - Gorgeous Win - Zac Purton - Next Best

Hard to fault anything from this horses start in Hong Kong had 3 great runs and looks to get his 2nd win here second try at C3, got the barrier and jockey to make it all happen and can see him being there first.

Danger - Eighty Light Years

Selections - 9 - 11 - 5 - 2

R8 - Centenary Spring Cup - 1200M - G1

1 - Lucky Sweynesse - Zac Purton

8 - Taj Dragon - Karis Teetan - Each Way

Lucky Sweynesse will most probably start too short for a bet, but cant say I see him losing here at all, I can make a case for a potential upset with Taj Dragon who hasn't shy'd away from any challenge thrown his way and can see him as a testing threat to LS. Going to be a cracking race regardless!

Danger - Taj Dragon

Selections - 1 - 8 - 2 - 7

R9 - Yan Tin Handicap - 1600M - C3

11 - Flamingo Trillion - Derek Leung

The Frankie Lor 4yo hasnt won since his dominate double wins last prep in C4 company looked a lot better last start keeping pace with the likes of Chancheng Glory and Simple Hedge can see him being in the mix for the top spot here.

Danger - Flagship Warrior

Selection - 11 - 5 - 8 - 13

R10 - Yau Oi Handicap - 1400M - C3

4 - Fun Together - Jerry Chau

Going to stick with winning combo of Jerry Chau and Benno Yung who are both sweeping through the classes and looking for 4 on the bounce, just seems to have the speed that cant be matched when it counts. Got a good jump out and if settles behind the leading pair can challenge again here.

Danger - Beauty Fit

Selection - 4 - 7 - 8 - 12
