Sha Tin Race 3 - The Hksar Chief Executive's Cup
The World's Best Horse KA YING RISING (1) is back as he heads towards The Everest again in 2026. His two trials have been awesome and although there was a slight niggle earlier in the week, the stable have said there wasn't much in it. Should be carrying much more weight against this lot and he can continue his winning streak. PATCH OF STARS (3) went back-to-back to end the season, winning the Sha Tin Vase as the race favourite. He's building nicely into his career and he can continue his upward trajectory. LUCKY WITH YOU (5) has been competitive in similar races last campaign and maps for a lovely run in transit. He's known to fire fresh and can play a role in the minor placings. TOMODACHI KOKOROE (4) was very impressive early last season and can resume with a forward showing.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 53-day let-up. Most recently raced on the pace when 2nd of 11 at Happy Valley on July 15 over 1200m, nose behind Crimson Flash with 61kg at $13. The start before that rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 10 in the G3 Premier Cup at this track on June 21 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Little Paradise carrying 54.5kg at $74. Showed enough in similar races last campaign to suggest he can feature.
