While Sunday’s meeting at Sha Tin doesn’t offer up the same quality as last weekend’s Group One double-header or perhaps the Lunar New Year fixture next week, the 11-race card still presents a number of competitive contests and intriguing betting angles.

Ricky Yiu Poon-fai’s Sunlight Power will undoubtedly be popular with punters in the third race of the day, a Class Two contest over a mile, and ought to take all the beating after a luckless effort earlier in the month.

But his price is likely to be on the prohibitive side, with Zac Purton hopping aboard the five-year-old from barrier one fresh off his record-breaking success at Happy Valley on Wednesday.

Purton opts to ride the intriguing debutant Magnifique in the following race, the Class Four Para Athletics Handicap (1,000m), but it may pay dividends to be in the camp of Frankie Lor Fu-chuen’s Enjoy Golf, who produced a very promising effort over the same course and distance last time out.

A winner over 1,400m last season, Enjoy Golf disappointed over the extended mile at Happy Valley in October but simply thrived over the minimum trip on January 5 after plenty of late money backed him into favouritism.

The Lor-trained four-year-old relished the 1,000m trip in blinkers for the first time, finding only the front-running Circuit Jolly too strong on his first crack down the Sha Tin straight.

After settling in fourth on the near side, Enjoy Golf travelled powerfully under Hugh Bowman throughout before flashing home in the closing stages.

While he was unable to reel in the winner, the son of Pariah pulled nearly two lengths clear of Alluring Laos in third and left the impression he had plenty more to offer over the distance.

The time of his runner-up effort also weighed up favourably in comparison to the Class Three contest over the same distance on the card, which was won by Baby Crystal.

It will be no easy feat fending off a host of intriguing rivals, namely Magnifique and Yiu’s unexposed Snowthorn, but Lor’s charge should be able to go close again from gate 11.

On the rest of the card, Purton has a strong chance taking out the eighth contest, a Class Two over 1,200m, aboard Gorgeous Win, while The Boom Box looks set to make it three from three in the penultimate race of the afternoon.
