Race suggestions for Hong Kong: Jim McGrath makes three picks at Sha Tin on Sunday

In the upcoming races at Sha Tin, horse racing enthusiasts are in for a treat. The first race kicks off at 6am on Sunday, and one of the most anticipated events is the HKSAR Chief Executive's Cup.

This traditional first day feature 6f race will see the return of last year's winner, Ka Ying Rising. Trained by David Hayes, this gelding will be ridden by Zac Purton as they aim to defend their title. Ka Ying Rising has shown impressive form, having won two barrier trials in preparation for this season. In fact, his first trial was won by more than 14 lengths, a testament to his current form.

Ka Ying Rising will face 11 rivals in the race, including Mark Newnham's up-and-comer, Bull Attitude, in the 7f handicap. Another contender in the same 6f handicap race is China Win, also trained by David Hayes.

Invincible Ibis, another horse trained by Mark Newnham, will also be competing in the 6f handicap. Despite failing to overcome his wide draw in his last race, Invincible Ibis showed potential, finishing strongly for second with only two horses behind him at half-way.
