The Hong Kong File: Graham Cunningham looks ahead to Sunday's action at Sha Tun

Joao Moreira was stood down from riding at Happy Valley on Wednesday. The 38-year-old Brazilian had surgery on a troublesome left hip at home during the summer.

Karis Teetan is unavailable for Sunday's action at Sha Tin. Silvestre de Sousa has a full book of rides for the weekend. Vincent Ho continued his strong start with another winner at the Valley in midweek. Lyle Hewitson snagged a double for fellow South African Douglas Whyte.

There were 19 seats at the summit meeting to plan a long-term strategy for British racing but no one representing punters who bet on the sport. The Triple Trio was finally won to two units paying over £3.4m each at Valley on Wednesday.

CALIFORNIA SPANGLE and Zac Purton are short odds for the Celebration Cup at Sha Tun on Sunday at 7.00. Tony Cruz's gelding thrived last season, going down fighting in the Derby over 2000m and running the mighty Golden Sixty to two lengths in Champions Mile. HEALTHY HAPPY is the most solid forecast option.

Youthful Deal looks the real deal. Purton and Frankie Lor will be looking to win the 8.35 and 9.05 races on Sunday's card. Zac partnered Youthful in a morning trial twelve days ago.

Angus Chung is riding David Hall's Summit Cheers in the 8.35. Hall gave Chung his first HK winner with Quadruple Double last week. The horse looked as good as ever on his return in May and when landing a recent AW trial. Chung's allowance is worth 10lb.

Sunday’s Sha Tin Selections is on 7.00. Forecast is California Spangle to beat Healthy Happy. Summit Cheers is playing. Youthful Deal is taking a nap. Graham Cunningham looks ahead to Sunday's action at Sha Tun.
