The Group 3 Queen Mother Memorial Cup (2400m) headlines a bumper 11-part program at Hong Kong’s Sha Tin Racecourse this Sunday. The rail moves out to the B course, and although some rainfall is forecast in the lead-up, it should have no effect on the initial Good 4 rating. The action at Sha Tin is scheduled to get underway at 12:30pm HKT.
Queen Mother Memorial Cup Tip: Bundle Award
A select field of six line up in the 2025 Queen Mother Memorial Cup, with the John Size-trained Bundle Award set for a peak performance. The son of Shamus Award didn’t have much luck at a crucial stage last time out, held up behind a wall of horse when trying to get clear running. The 2400m must be considered a query, but as the staying journey poses some questions for most of this field, Bundle Award should get every chance to secure a stakes victory.

Best Bet at Sha Tin: Crossborderpegasus
Crossborderpegasus would be undefeated heading into start four were it not for a torrid run in transit last time out. The son of Rich Enuff was forced to sit three wide without cover on that occasion but showed plenty of fight to be narrowly headed in the shadows of the post. Zac Purton gets legged aboard from gate 10, and whether he elects to lead or take a sit, it simply shouldn’t matter with Crossborderpegasus oozing class amongst this lot.

Next Best at Sha Tin: Spirit Of Peace
You won’t witness a better run in defeat than what Spirit Of Peace produced at Sha Tin on March 23. The Harry Angel gelding bombed the start and was tailed off by five lengths in the early stages, circling the entire field to somehow get within two lengths of Sky Deep. He’s had three trials to get his barrier manners in check, and provided he can leave with them this time around, Spirit Of Peace should be rattling home at a good price with Dabble.

Best Value at Sha Tin: Shamus Storm
The David Hayes-trained Shamus Storm has been mixing his form this season, producing two minor placings in his three starts. He caught the eye when sliding up the inside running rail to finish third behind key rival Mr Cool on April 6 and gets a 2.5kg swing in the weights after that half-length defeat. Zac Purton takes the reins from gate four and should get a tactical advantage over the likely favourite with horse racing bookmakers, and provided he can sprint taking closer order, Shamus Storm should be right in this.
