There should be a sha tin so three or four picks on here for hopefully the first middle and the penultimate and last race which may also figure in the lucky 🍀 last thread too.
Another winner and a massive 66/1 fourth from Mr Ascendency courtesy of Harry Bentley into the bargain for two more steps along the way 🌎. There’s no rush to reach the club or whatever it was that phineas Fogg was trying to get to and if the celebration mile in Hong Kong can provide one of the steps then alls well n’good.
An element of sci fi and mystique here with these named runners.

Has fallen as far as he can now. A winner in June in a class two grades higher off a mark of 64 the mark he goes off here reflects the fall in class and perhaps this all time low will prompt a change in fortunes a fourth place last time out gives some hope here.
The two bottom weights also represent the highest drawn lowest weighted and the lowest drawn lowest weighted and win bets reflect solid chances of both runners in a remarkably poor race.

Will take all the beating as Hong Kong’s top sprinter. He’d be interesting overseas but has dominated on the rock.
He’s odds on so it’s just a selection for the step around the world 🌎.
I’m looking at the horses who are well priced and placed to strike a blow here…

No suprise to see this one take a hand in the minor placings.
WELLINGTON is the imponderable performer and has undoubted talent and has run consistently well this season is is one to look out for.Sha Tin

HELLIOS EXPRESS
Should rout this field on this fifth win attempt. Didn’t enjoy the best of things two runs ago, but still progressing and the form of his last run stands him in good stead.
He has progressed each run and a 2.25 length win over course and distance latest against decent opponents means he’d need to be badly off to get beat today.
Beauty crescent is very much the dark horse with some very good placed efforts and arrives here on a decent mark. Thus Irish listed stakes winner has an in form jockey on board who goes well at this level.SHA TIN 0500

WINHellios Express duly won the Hong Kong cup as highlighted in here weeks ago.
The opening race at Sha Tin sees a maiden who has yet to place holding a decent chance after drawing 13 blanks.
Now on his latest run today having completed a bakers dozen without placing, two decent fourths suggest a win is not far away.
With a handicap rating slipping into the moderate 20s the selection has raced off an initial rating of 52.
Given that this horse has raced over half of his races in class fours, racing in class five at on a career low could see him at least TWENTY FIVE pounds well in potentially. Running from stall seven there is also a chance of swooping late under a two pound claimer if getting the cover from the inside runners.One for the notebook when switched back to a mile. Held up and “seemingly” outpaced, kept out the back and travelled a long way round on the outer and looks to all intentional purposes to have enjoyed a “school”. Certainly one to be backed in the near future if not next time out. Brother pearl.
Made eye catching ground in the home straight and finished in sixth tucked away nicely but running on very well.
