Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 21 Journalists Share Posted September 21 What Sha Tin Races Where Sha Tin Racecourse – Tai Po Rd, Sha Tin District, Hong Kong When Sunday, September 22, 2024 First Race 1pm HKT (3pm AEST) Visit Dabble The Group 3 Celebration Cup (1400m) headlines a bumper 10-race program at Sha Tin on Sunday afternoon, with locals gathering to send off champion of the turf, Golden Sixty. The rail is in the B+2 position for all turf races throughout the meeting, and with some rainfall forecast on the day, punters should anticipate a possible downgrade into the Soft range at some stage. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 1pm local time. Celebration Cup Tip: Packing Treadmill In a race devoid of a natural leader, Packing Treadmill could be the one to take luck out of the equation in the 2024 Celebration Cup. He was disappointing first-up in Class 1 company behind Ka Ying Rising but was never in contention after drifting back to last from barrier nine. Lyle Hewitson sticks aboard the consistent six-year-old gelding, and with barrier four allowing him to get across and lead in this small field of seven, watch for Packing Treadmill to pinch a break and give followers a bold sight in the feature. Celebration Cup Race 7 – #4 Packing Treadmill (4) 6yo Gelding | T: Francis Lui | J: Lyle Hewitson (55.5kg) Bet with Neds Best Bet at Sha Tin: Wunderbar The John Size-trained Wunderbar returns after a 35-week spell and looks to be one of the horses to follow in the 2024/25 Hong Kong racing season. The lightly raced four-year-old matched motors with Ka Ying Rising at the end of last preparation, and with that horse going on to stamp himself as a potential leading hope in the Group 1 Hong Kong Sprint (1200m) in December, this guy could be a star on the rise. He needs to lug 61kg at the top of Class 3 company, but with Zac Purton in the saddle from gate two, punters can expect Wunderbar get the job done. Best Bet Race 9 – #1 Wunderbar (2) 4yo Gelding | T: John Size | J: Zac Purton (61kg) Bet with Picklebet Next Best at Sha Tin: Ballistic Win Ballistic Win was luckless first-up at this course and distance on September 8 and should’ve been winning provided he could get off heels at a crucial stage. He should have no such issues from barrier three this time around, with Ben Thompson likely to lob into the one-one throughout. Family Jewel already franked the form saluting last Sunday, and provided he doesn’t get held up behind a wall of horses again, Ballistic Win can make amends in similar fashion. Next Best Race 8 – #3 Ballistic Win (3) 4yo Gelding | T: Benno Yung | J: Ben Thompson (61kg) Bet with Dabble Best Value at Sha Tin: Stellar Swift Stellar Swift was winless across his five starts last season but should appreciate the step back into Class 4 company. The David Hayes-trained gelding was looking for the paddock after being demoralised by 8.8 lengths at Sha Tin on June 15; however, he appears to be bouncing back nicely after two strong barrier trials at Conghua. He draws barrier two to get within striking distance of his rivals turning for home, and with this clearly his easiest assignment to date, expect a bold showing by Stellar Swift at an each-way price with horse racing bookmakers. Best Value Race 3 – #2 Stellar Swift (2) 4yo Gelding | T: David Hayes | J: Andrea Atzeni (61kg) Bet with Playup Sunday quaddie tips for Sha Tin Sha Tin quadrella selections September 22, 2024 2-4-6 1-3-5-7 1 1-2-5-6-8-9-11 Horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
