Take note of Beauty Waves

‘ONG KONG racing returns to Sha Tin today with an action-packed 10-race card headlined by the Group 3 National Day Cup over 1000m.

‘The Group 3 National Day Cup held at Sha Tin appears to be a wide-open contest.

One to note is BEAUTY WAVES, who looked flat when seventh first-up in a Class 1 over 1200m. However, the figures say otherwise. He was forced to absorb a brutal 44.57-second first 800m on speed, so fading late was no disgrace. Back to 1000m and against just seven rivals, he’s poised to hit back. Right alongside him is BOTTOMUPTOGETHER, who endured the same hot tempo before boxing on for fifth — and he’s no less dangerous here.
