Happy Valley racing tips
—
The Way We Win comes off a much-improved second placing at Sha Tin, which is a good form guide for this level of racing.
He has only one win during his career from 16 attempts, but it’s only a matter of time before he posts another win.
This race is there for the taking, so include him in picks.
Stake: 1 Unit
Northern Beast isn’t the most consistent type going around, but he showed good speed three back when placing behind Amazing Run.
The six-year-old son of Maurice runs best at Happy Valley with 16 starts for four wins and seven placings, so that bodes well.
Zac Purton riding is another positive.
Stake: 2 Units
Peridot has made a good start to his career with a third and a fifth, and he wasn’t far behind them last time out at Sha Tin.
The four-year-old son of Ribchester will need a touch of luck from a wide barrier, but he’s good enough to settle back and finish strongly.
Look for a betting move on race night.
Stake: 1 Unit
Fortune Whiskey is fresh up, and he’s a past fresh up winner, which could be enough to see him figure in the finish.
The five-year-old son of Embellish won twice during the summer months, but it shouldn’t take him long to get back to winning form.
2.5kg comes off his back, which adds to our confidence levels.
Stake: 2 Units
Smart City looked good when winning in June by 2.5 lengths, and he could make a winning return to the races.
He has solid enough fresh up form, and there aren’t many superstars to beat in this field, so he could take advantage.
He’s a son of Lonhro who could measure up in the new season.
Stake: 1 Unit
The four-year-old gelding by Cosmic Force is nearing a win after posting two placings from three starts, and he’s better for his fresh up fourth.
He wasn’t far behind Jubilant Winner as a $2.40 chance, and although punters were disappointed, they have a chance to climb back on.
It’s another good ride for Purton, who could ride multiple winners.
Stake: 3 Units
Looking to improve on his fresh up fifth is Jumbo Legend, who owns a win and a placing second-up.
The seven-year-old son of Hinchinbrook is a seven-time winner at Happy Valley and dropping to 52.5kg makes him tough to hold out.
His experience could be enough to get the job done on Wednesday night.
Stake: 1.5 Units
La Forza has made a good start to his career with three wins from eight starts, and he’s better for his fresh up placing at Happy Valley.
The four-year-old son of Toronado will need a touch of luck from a wide barrier, but having Purton in the saddle is a bonus.
Look for money to come for him close to start time.
Stake: 2 Units
Highland Rahy is a model of consistency after posting three wins and four placings form his last seven starts.
That’s an incredible record for the five-year-old son of Hard Spun, who is good enough to handle this level of opposition.
We expect each-way odds on race night.
Stake: 2 Units
