Race 1: Racing Development Board Handicap

#5 The Multiplier is bred to race on the dirt and he showcased this with a strong showing for fifth last time out. Expect he can improve again at his second start under race conditions (on dirt) with Zac Purton up. #8 General Trump knows what it's all about. He's racing well and pairs favourably with Joao Moreira. #6 Boys Party is racing well and looks close to a first win. This grade suits and he's always on the improve. #3 Steel Win mixes his form but should take close order from gate one. Next best.

Race 2: The Education University Of Hong Kong Handicap

#11 Golden Four has returned to a competitive mark. He'll need a race run to suit but if he gets the speed on up front then there is little reason to suggest why he can't overhaul this group. He gets his chance for Luke Currie here. #13 Winwin Thirtythree slots in light and steps away favourably from gate three. He's done it all before and commands respect here as a two-time winner in Class 5. #4 Mission Smart should get his chance on the speed. #9 Sicomoro is taking time. Still, he gets his shot in this grade.

Race 3: To Strive Is To Shine Handicap

#6 Tuchel is doing everything right and he gets his chance to win now at Sha Tin. He's caught the eye with two ground-making runs and the step up in trip to seven furlongs here is a big, big positive. #10 Peak To Peak gets in light. He can mix his form but this field slips away and he stands out for trainer Frankie Lor. #7 Voyage Star knows what to do. He's a two-time winner this term and he should get every chance on the speed. #2 August Moon is in career-best form. Expect another big showing.

Race 4: Hong Kong Association Of Sports Medicine And Sports Science Handicap

#1 Happy Day has a stack of class and he can bounce back to his best here. He was caught wanting on wet ground last start but a return to firm turf here bodes well. Expect a bounce back run under Joao Moreira. #4 Love Me More does his best racing third-up as a winner at his third outing last term. Expect he's over the odds for this one and if so, he is, worth taking an each way ticket on. #8 Gang Of Brothers is tracking towards a first win. Zac Purton hops up now and he's in very, very consistent form. #13 Hearty Wish must be kept safe. Next best.

Race 5: Racing Talent Training Centre Handicap

#2 Super Win Dragon is nothing short of consistent, even without yet recording a win. Still, he's ever so close and this contest is more than suitable. Strong booking with Vincent ho sticking aboard boosts confidence. #10 E Brother slots in light and pairs favourably with Joao Moreira. Gate two should give him his opportunity. #9 Touch Faith can bounce back to his best following a strong win two starts ago. #8 Wisdom Patch just needs to defy the wide draw. He gets Zac Purton, though, in his bid to do so.

Race 6: Champion Apprentices Handicap

#11 Celestial Warrior is progressing. He's doing well and looks like he's coming to hand quite quick. Expect he gets his chance here under the light weight with Harry Bentley aboard. #3 Beauty Spirit is in a rich vein of form having knocked up four consecutive placings. He's favoured from gate five with Alexis Badel sticking aboard. The pair claimed a course and distance win together earlier this season. #2 Cheery is after back-to-back wins. He can kick on again. #4 Nicholson Returns is looking to back up his heroics from last start. Don't discount, though, he would prefer a bit of rain on Sunday.

Race 7: The Apprentice Jockeys' School 50th Anniversary Cup Handicap

#10 War Weapon is tracking towards a first win in Hong Kong and it's quite surprising that with his ability he is yet to get on the board. Expect he settles back for a finish and with a race run to suit he has shown previously that he has the ability to overhaul a group like this one. #8 Adios did well on debut to grab second. He's hit the ground running and bears close watching here for Derek Leung who has struck 10 wins from the last nine race meetings. #3 Reve Parisien has claims. Strong booking of Zac Purton warrants respect. #5 Red Titan is progressing. He's coming to hand and steps away favourably from gate three.

Race 8: Guangdong Vocational Institute Of Sport Handicap

#12 Seven Heavens turned his form around to grab second last start. He does his best racing down the straight and he wins with a even a little bit more luck last time. He can take this one out, albeit being, a little bit tougher. #1 Carroll Street has the class edge and is well versed with winning over this course and distance. #8 Run Run Cool is after a third win from his last four runs. He's in form and must be kept safe. #6 Seizing The Moment is after a hat-trick of wins. He can figure from the inside gate.

Race 9: Huangcun Sports Training Centre Handicap

#1 Sight Spirit returns to the turf and his best is up to winning this one. He can make a favourable impact getting back to these conditions and his pairing with Joao Moreira commands plenty of respect. #9 Looking Cool is after back-to-back wins. He's racing well and steps away from a suitable draw. #4 Golden Empire is in superb form. He's a three-time winner this campaign and he's holding his condition with each and every run. #10 Packing Famous collected consecutive wins before suffering defeat last start. Next best. 

Race 10: Beas River Handicap

#2 Lucky With You is class and he's favoured with Zac Purton up. He did well at his first try at the Valley and a return to Sha Tin is a big, big plus for him. #4 Good Luck Friend is after back-to-back wins. He's racing well and the inside gate holds him in good stead. #3 The Golden Scenery has a powerful finish when required. He can figure again and it wouldn't surprise to see him go one better. #10 Navas Two has been an impressive riser this season. Next best.
