(4) Kurpany is a horse I really like and his first up run at Sha Tin on the dirt was good. He returns to Happy Valley now, where all his best form has been, and he has a very good record at this track and distance. Draws ideally in barrier 3 and I think he might still be on the up. If Moreira was on him today he wouldn’t be $4.00.

Tip: (4) Kurpany $4.00 Bet365

Betting Strategy: 1.5 units WIN Kurpany

(2) Murray’s Partners is ready now third up and gets Purton on replacing the apprentice. Barrier 1 is a huge advantage over this distance on the C+3 course. There’s been nine races run with the rail in this position and four winners have been from barrier 1. Has won at this track and distance in harder class than this before so looks well placed. Can play each way.

Tip: (2) Murray's Partners $5.00/$2.15 Bet365

Betting Strategy: 1 unit E/W Murray's Partners

Tim Geers

A trip to Hong Kong quickly had Tim hooked to the racing caper, maintaining the best place anywhere in the world on a Wednesday night is Happy Valley. He holds a strong interest in the Hong Kong form, along with the metropolitan racing in Sydney and Melbourne. He’s a fan of dry tracks, Zac Purton and takes particular interest in identifying patterns in the form. Tim wears many hats, juggling the roles of form analyst, jockey manager and racehorse owner.
