#7 – King Alloy

BET NOW

King Alloy has three placings from his last four starts, including a third placing last time out at Sha Tin.

The four-year-old son of Cosmic Force has five placings from 15 starts overall, and getting the inside draw is enough to take him close.

Punters should get each-way odds on race night.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (22:10) Dandelion Handicap (1650m)

#2 – Glorious Journey

BET NOW

Glorious Journey wasn’t far away from the prize when running second at Happy Valley last start, which is a good form guide for this race.

The six-year-old son of Sacred Falls scored a win earlier this preparation, so he has recent winning form, and it won’t take him long to score again.

Barrier three is ideal, so include him in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

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

#4 – Georgian Sigma

BET NOW

Boasting two placings from three starts is Georgian Sigma, who was only a length behind the winner at Sha Tin last time out.

The three-year-old son of Shalaa should get every chance in the run from barrier four, and it won’t take him long to record a win.

He’s good enough to handle this field, so follow positive betting moves.

Stake: 1.5 Units

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

#12 – Our Lucky Glory

BET NOW

Our Lucky Glory is fitter with two runs under his belt, and his experience should be enough to handle this field.

The seven-year-old was only a length behind the winner in two runs this preparation and dropping to 52.5kg is enough to take him close.

Karis Teetan rides, and he should have a good night.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (23:40) The EWO Challenge Trophy (1000m)

#4 – Beauty Show

BET NOW

Frankie Lor lines up Beauty Show, who ran second on debut at Happy Valley before finishing fourth last time out.

The three-year-old son of Shalaa will need some luck from the draw, but getting Zac Purton in the saddle helps his chances.

We expect shortening odds on race night.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 6. (00:10) Dendrobium Handicap (1200m)

#3 – Superb King

BET NOW

Looking to cap off three consecutive placings with a win is Superb King, who owns four placings at Happy Valley.

The four-year-old son of Written Tycoon wasn’t far behind the winner last time out, and something close to that run should be enough.

Hugh Bowman rides, so include him in horse racing picks.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (00:45) Hyacinth Handicap (1650m)

#3 – Lovero

BET NOW

Lovero didn’t start this preparation with much, but he has improved nicely with a win and four placings.

The seven-year-old son of Lord Kanaloa ran second at Sha Tin last time out, and coming back to Happy Valley won’t do his chances any harm.

Purton rides from barrier three, so include him in picks.

Stake: 1.5 Units

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

#6 – Flying Wrote

BET NOW

Looking to go one better than his last start second placing is Flying Wrote, who is a three-time winner at Happy Valley.

The five-year-old son of Wrote wasn’t far behind Giant Ballon, and that form holds up well for this contest.

We’re backing him to turn the tables on Giant Ballon, so include him in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 9. (01:50) Thistle Handicap (1200m)

#9 – Sight Hermoso

BET NOW

Gunning for three consecutive wins is Sight Hermoso, who scored at Happy Valley by 1.2 lengths last time out.

The four-year-old son of Headwater is unbeaten in two attempts at the track, and the move from Sha Tin has been a profitable one.

Barrier four with 53kg on his back is ideal.

Stake: 2 Units
