Hong Kong tips: Jim McGrath with three fancies for Sunday's Sha Tin card

Lord Thunder
7.00 Sha Tin

Casimiro
9.05 Sha Tin

Winner Method
10.10 Sha Tin
2pts win

Karis Teetan can continue his brilliant start to the season on untapped Winner Method in the Class 2 5f sprint handicap (10.10) on a mixed card at Sha Tin.

Teetan, Zac Purton and Joao Moreira have all ridden four winners apiece but the 'Mauritian marvel' (as Teetan has been dubbed) has more minor placings and tops the jockeys' championship.

Picking up the mount on Winner Method is a bonus for Teetan as the four-year-old is one of Purton's regular rides, but the Australian struggles to do 8st 7lb at this stage of the season and will instead ride Lucky More.

Winner Method has never been out of the first two in five starts and is ready to go close first time out this season. He confirmed his wellbeing when winning a barrier trial effortlessly last week.

But one hurdle in his path is the draw – high numbers are preferred on the straight course at Sha Tin – and from gate 2 he will need to work to get across near the favoured stands' rail. Even against strong opposition, he has the ability to do so.

Trillion Win goes well fresh and is a must for multiples, while the transfer of Super Wealthy from Douglas Whyte to David Hayes is noteworthy considering the rivalry in the trainers' ranks.

Purton, who is sitting on a local career total of 1,299 winners, has nine rides, and if he has not reached the milestone early in the day, Casimiro, in the Class 4 7f handicap (9.05), might be the one to bring it up.

Trainer Paul O'Sullivan has placed Casimiro well, winning three races with him last season, yet seeing the gelding's rating now drop 2lb below his most recent winning mark last January.

With a class demotion, an inside draw (4), and Purton booked for the first time, it all adds up. Green Envy is the danger.

Hayes has been taking the wraps off a series of talented imports, and Lord Thunder, in the Class 4 6f handicap sprint (7.00), is the latest.

The Night Of Thunder gelding has trialled extensively and on appearance and pedigree can win on dirt on his racecourse debut.
