HONG KONG, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Hong Kong shares will open 1.8 percent lower on Wednesday with energy stocks walloped by retreating crude oil prices, which also dragged down shares in other commodity-linked stocks.

The benchmark Hang Seng Index .HSI is indicated to open down 376.25 points at 20,114.86.

The China Enterprises Index .HSCE of top locally listed mainland Chinese firms was set to open 1.8 percent lower.
