Hong Kong form expert Luke Middlebrook provides his thoughts on every race at the Hong Kong meeting at Sha Tin on Saturday, 14 June.
Winning Champion (#13) was luckless on debut and made good late ground. He is drawn the right part of the track and is an each-way play at odds.
Selections: 13-2-1-4
Celtic Times (#4) makes his first Class 5 appearance and has trialled well. He looks ready to show something for the stable since the move three runs back.
Selections: 4-1-7-3
Sea Sapphire (#9) found his first win for David Eustace two back and ran well again when second to Little Paradise last time. He will lead and take catching.
Selections: 9-3-7-4
Robot Knight (#8) found form with blinkers on last start when a strong third. More pressure here gives him a genuine chance to finish over the top, especially from a low gate.
Selections: 8-1-7-6
Special Hedge (#12) draws to get a decent run on the pace from barrier 4. His recent string of placings over the mile has him in fine form and the step back to 1400m looks ideal.
Selections: 12-8-1-5
Ping Hai Comet (#3) gets an ideal gate in barrier 2 as he chases a hat-trick of wins on the quick back-up and is the one to beat after a dominant mile win last time.
Selections: 3-9-2-12
Harold Win (#1) drops back to Class 4 and returns to a better trip following an unsuited run over the extended mile last start at Happy Valley. His prior form at this track and trip reads well with four placings on end.
Selections: 1-13-2-10
Raging Blizzard (#1) resumes with two sharp trials under his belt. He gets the right race set-up here with a few going forward and will be finishing strongly late.
Selections: 1-2-3-10
Gentlemen Legacy (#7) looks ready to break through third-up after flashing late into second over the mile. The rise to 1800m suits based on his pre-import form.
Selections: 7-6-4-2
Rising Force (#12) is a three-year-old on the rise. He won impressively on debut and was only beaten a length as favourite last start. He drops in weight on the class rise and can measure up here.
Selections: 12-5-2-1
Patch Of Stars (#5) is thriving. He has won his last two starts in Class 4 impressively and should handle the rise in grade. One to beat.
Selections: 5-13-3-6
