Punters get good value odds for the Hong Kong racing feature, and we have betting tips for every race on the card.

Race 1. (21:40) Daejeon Handicap (1800m)

#1 – Celestial Harmony

BET NOW

Celestial Harmony looked good when winning fresh up at Sha Tin, and he could return to form on Wednesday.

The five-year-old son of Lope de Vega has yet to fire in five attempts at Happy Valley, but winning form at Sha Tin bodes well.

He’s good enough to handle this field in the opener.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (22:10) YeongCheon Handicap (1200m)

#4 – Honest Witness

BET NOW

Looking for back-to-back wins is Honest Witness, who was too good for them at Happy Valley last month.

The four-year-old son of Written By owns a win and three placings from 13 starts, and he doesn’t need to improve much to win at this level.

Punters should get each-way odds on race night.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (22:40) Daegu Handicap (2200m)

#9 – Star Brose

BET NOW

Star Brose won well earlier this preparation before adding back-to-back placings to his record most recently.

The five-year-old son of Starspangledbanner took some time getting his first win, but his form this season has improved significantly.

Zac Purton riding at 55.5kg makes him tough to hold out.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (23:10) Yeongcheon Handicap (1200m)

#1 – Crossborderdude

BET NOW

One of the most consistent runners at the meeting is Crossborderdude, who owns a win and five placings from seven starts.

The three-year-old son of El Roca won at Sha Tin earlier this preparation before posting three placings, and returning to Happy Valley won’t do his chances any harm.

We expect shortening odds, so take the opening price.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 5. (23:40) The Korea Racing Authority Trophy (1200m)

#2 – Superb King

BET NOW

Looking to cap off consecutive placings with a maiden win is Superb King, who has finished within two lengths of the winner at his last two.

The four-year-old son of Written Tycoon gets a valuable 3kg off his back from Britney Wong, which could be enough to get him over the line.

It’s about time he won, so we’re sticking with him.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (00:10) Incheon Handicap (1650m)

#10 – Vivacious Win

BET NOW

Punters should get each-way odds for Vivacious Win, who owns three placings from his last four starts.

The four-year-old son of The Autumn Sun was only a nose behind General Redwood last start, so he could turn the tables here.

1kg comes off his back, which makes a difference.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (00:45) Seoul Handicap (1000m)

#2 – Colourful King

BET NOW

Colourful King has a good record despite finishing sixth at his last two starts, and he could bounce back to his best form.

The four-year-old son of Blue Point owns five wins and eight placings from 18 starts, with some of his best form coming at Happy Valley.

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

Stake: 2 Units

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

#4 – Giant Ballon

BET NOW

Shooting for three consecutive wins is Giant Ballon, who scored at Happy Valley by three lengths last time out.

The four-year-old son of Mehmas paid $2.60 when winning his last two starts, but punters should expect a shorter price here.

The three-peat is on, and it’s another premium ride for Purton.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 9. (01:50) Jeju Handicap (1650m)

#9 – Stormi

BET NOW

Stormi looked good when rattling off three consecutive wins earlier this prep, and that form could return.

The five-year-old owns six wins overall, and he was only 2.2 lengths behind the winner last time out at Happy Valley.

Punters should get each-way odds on race night.

Stake: 1 Unit
