Happy Valley racing tips

—

Race 1. (21:40) Heron Handicap (2200m)

#2 - Storm Runner

BET NOW

Looking to cap off three consecutive placings with a win is Storm Runner, who went close as a $3.10 chance last start.

The four-year-old son of Microphone owns six placings from 14 starts overall, including four second placings at Happy Valley.

Having Zac Purton riding helps, so put him on top.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 2. (22:10) Robin Handicap (1000m)

#2 - Sky Song

BET NOW

Sky Song is only a one-time winner from 16 starts, but he showed good improvement to finish second last time out.

The five-year-old son of No Nay Never has two placings this prep, and it’s only a matter of time before he posts his second win.

Getting the inside draw with Hugh Bowman riding is a bonus.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 3. (22:40) Albatross Handicap (1200m)

#4 - Flow Water Flow

BET NOW

Looking to go one better than his debut second placing is Flow Water Flow, who was only a nose behind the winner last month.

The four-year-old son of Proisir was paying $26 to win that race, but punters should expect much shorter odds on Wednesday night.

Bowman rides, and he could have a big night.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (23:10) Lark Handicap (1650m)

#1 - Top Time

BET NOW

Consistency is with Top Time, who looks to cap off three placings from his last four starts with a win.

The four-year-old son of Time Test was only 1.5 lengths behind the winner, and it’s another good ride for Purton.

We expect money to come for him on race day, so take the opening odds.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 5. (23:40) The Hong Kong Golf Club Centenary Cup (1200m)

#2 - King Oberon

BET NOW

Gunning for three consecutive wins is King Oberon, who scored an upset win at $21 last time out.

The six-year-old son of Divine Prophet has turned his form around nicely this season, and he could keep rising through the grades.

Barrier five is ideal, so he should get all favours in the run.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (00:10) Swiftlet Handicap (1800m)

#12 - Firefoot

BET NOW

Firefoot is only a one-time winner from 22 starts, but his recent form has been solid enough to handle this field.

The five-year-old son of Shooting to Win ran consecutive placings at Sha Tin and Happy Valley before running seventh last start.

It’s good enough form to run well at nice odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (00:45) Albatross Handicap (1200m)

#4 - The Perfect Match

BET NOW

Boasting a win and four placings is The Perfect Match, who comes off three consecutive placings.

The five-year-old son of Complacent was only a nose behind the winner in a blanket finish last start, which is the best form guide.

Having McDonald riding is ideal, which adds to our confidence.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (01:15) Nightjar Handicap (1000m)

#8 - Six Three Win

BET NOW

Six Three Win hasn’t performed well since arriving in Hong Kong from Australia, but we’re giving him another chance.

The four-year-old son of I Am Invincible won at Doomben and Sunshine Coast, and he might have needed a couple of runs this prep.

He’s worth backing at the odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 9. (01:50) Sea Eagle Handicap (1650m)

#6 - Super Unicorn

BET NOW

Seeking three wins in a row is Super Unicorn, who is a good chance of keeping his winning streak going.

The six-year-old son of Savabeel is a three-time winner at Happy Valley, and getting an inside draw should see him settle handy.

Punters should get value odds on race night.

Stake: 1 Unit
