Happy Valley racing tips

—

Race 1. (21:35) Meteorites Handicap (1200m)

#5 – Podium

BET NOW

Podium is a recent winner when scoring at Happy Valley two starts back, and his follow up run for fourth was tidy as well.

The seven-year-old has enough experience to handle this field, and he runs some of his best races at Happy Valley with two wins and four placings.

Getting weight off his back is ideal, so include him in picks.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (22:05) Yummy Handicap (1650m)

#5 – Absolute Awakened

BET NOW

Seeking back-to-back wins is Absolute Awakened, who scored by a half-length at Happy Valley last time out.

The five-year-old son of Ardrossan rises in weight for this race after carrying 54kg last time out, but it’s good to see Zac Purton sticking with him.

It’s not a tough field, so he could keep rising through the grades.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (22:35) Croisette Handicap (1200m)

#3 – Never Settle

BET NOW

Never Settle owns two placings from two starts, including a close-up effort at Happy Valley last time out.

The four-year-old son of Hellbent ran at long odds on debut, but he was at much shorter odds last start, and he’ll be at similar odds on Wednesday.

Barrier three is ideal, so put him on top.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 4. (23:05) Yacht Club Handicap (1650m)

#6 – Fortune Star

BET NOW

Looking to bounce back from a poor run is Fortune Star, who looked much better when running second in two of his previous three starts.

The Mark Newnham-trained gelding was a short margin behind the winner two back, and that’s one of the better form guides for this race.

We expect his best form to return, so include him in Hong Kong racing picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (23:35) The APM Monaco Cup (1650m)

#6 – Max Que

BET NOW

Consistency is with Max Que, who kicked off this prep with back-to-back wins before adding three placings to his record.

The five-year-old son of Akeed Mofeed has had only one start at Happy Valley, which came last time out, and it won’t take him long to win here.

Getting Purton riding from barrier three with a light weight is ideal.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 6. (00:05) Monaco Handicap (1200m)

#8 – Dan Attack

BET NOW

Dan Attack is already a two-time winner this preparation, and he has every chance to win again on Wednesday.

The seven-year-old son of Deep Field won by a half-length two back, and although beaten last start, he was right behind the winner.

We expect another tidy effort, and the money should come.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (01:40) The January Cup (1800m)

#4 – Helene Feeling

BET NOW

Helene Feeling has turned his form around in a big way with consecutive wins, and his best form comes at Happy Valley.

The son of Sioux Nation owns six wins and five placings from 18 attempts at the track, and he only needs luck from a wide draw to go close.

Punters should be confident of another top effort.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (01:15) Cannes Handicap (1200m)

#7 – Crimson Flash

BET NOW

Unbeaten in two runs at Happy Valley is Crimson Flash, who comes off two solid efforts at Sha Tin.

The four-year-old son of Showtime scored back-to-back wins at Happy Valley last prep, and getting back to this track could see his winning form return.

He is good enough to put this field away and keep his unbeaten track record intact.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 9. (01:50) Saint Tropez Handicap (1200m)

#6 – Perfectday

BET NOW

Perfectday won well at Sha Tin before heading out for a spell, and it was good seeing him in fresh up at Happy Valley.

The four-year-old son of Gingerbread Man scored by just under a length, and there are more wins to come this season.

It’s another good ride for Purton, who could have a big night.

Stake: 1.5 Units
