02/05/21 Horse Racing Tips for Hong Kong Racing

Punters have a huge 11 race card in front of them this afternoon, highlighted by the second Griffin race of the season as well as the 2400m Group 3 Queen's Memorial Cup.

Racing will be on Sha Tin's turf "B" course, where the track is rated Good to Firm.

There is a field of 12 set to line-up in the Queen's Memorial Cup, including Hong Kong Derby runners-up, Russian Emperor and Panfield.

This race is known for being a lead in to the Chater Cup, which will be held on 23 May.

 

 

Horse Racing Tips from Charene Woo

Sha Tin Race 7 Tip #2 Russian Emperor $2.40

As a son of Galileo out of Atlantic Jewel, one of the greatest mares in Australia, Russian Emperor is bred to be a smart type.

He has progressed well in Hong Kong and is well suited stepping out to the 2400m today.

This 4YO colt ran a huge 2nd in the Hong Kong Derby over 2000m last time out under Karis Teetan.

Karis retains the ride and now at peak fitness, I expect him to be winning tonight.

 

Sha Tin Race 9 Tip #6 Beauty Fit $5.00

Beauty Fit ran a nice third-up on his Hong Kong debut, showing a strong turn of foot.

He's been inconsistent since, but looks well suited out to the 1800m today.

The booking of Zac Purton indicates that trainer John Size has this galloper ready to fire.

From barrier 6, we can expect Purton to ride with intent early, likely sitting in the first few runners.

He's improved his stamina at each run and today looks his day!
