Hong Kong horse racing takes place at Happy Valley on Wednesday night for a nine-race card on the C-course.

After landing his 4 unit best bet last week, Tim Geers is back with three selections for tonight’s meeting.

They come up in Race 1, Race 4 and Race 5.

Find his Hong Kong racing tips below!

Race 1

Walnut Hcp (C5) (1000m)
9:45pm (AEDT)

Race 1 Walnut Hcp (C5) (1000m) 9:45pm (AEDT)
1. Universal Crown (3) J: K Chan (60kg) T: D Whyte		5
2. Multimore (8) J: H Mo (59kg) T: T P Yung		26
3. Red Brick Glory (5) J: C Wong (58.5kg) T: P Yiu		20
4. Split Of A Second (4) J: A Hamelin (58kg) T: W Y So		18
5. Sure Winner (1) J: H Bentley (57.5kg) T: K L Man		15
6. Viva Chef (7) J: K Teetan (56kg) T: L Ho		6
7. E Honey (12) J: L Hewitson (55.5kg) T: C Fownes		12
8. Scholar (10) J: L Ferraris (55.5kg) T: A T Millard		21
9. Viva Mama (9) J: M Chadwick (55.5kg) T: Richard Gibson		7
10. Garlic Hero (2) J: K Leung (54.5kg) T: C H Yip		8
11. Island Sunshine (11) J: D Moor (53.5kg) T: K W Lui		34
12. Raging Blaze (6) J: Z Purton (53.5kg) T: J J Size		3.4

It’s very rare that Zac Purton takes rides at 118lb, but he does for champion trainer John Size here, which is a good lead in itself. He will ride (12) Raging Blaze 2lb overweight at 120lb but the fact he’s riding that light for a Class 5 suggests it should be going very close. Ran 3rd over 1200m here three weeks ago but drops back to the 1000m tonight having trialled in between. Drawn well middle of the line, Zac on, should be right in the finish.

(1) Universal Crown draws ideally in barrier 3 back to the 1000m here at Happy Valley. Looks the danger.

Tip: (12) Raging Blaze $4.00 Bet365

Saver: (1) Universal Crown $6.00 PlayUp

Betting Strategy: 1.5 units WIN Raging Blaze, 0.5 units WIN Universal Crown

Race 4

Cedar Hcp (C3) (1200m)
11:15pm (AEDT)

Race 4 Cedar Hcp (C3) (1200m) 11:15pm (AEDT)
1. The Runner (9) J: Z Purton (60.5kg) T: F C Lor		3.7
2. Simply Fluke (2) J: H Bentley (59kg) T: D Whyte		8.5
3. Royal Bomb (10) J: D Moor (57.5kg) T: C Fownes		26

9. Sky Forever (4) J: K Leung (52kg) T: K L Man		6
10. Wild West Wing (7) J: V Borges (51.5kg) T: J J Size		21

(1) The Runner has been racing very well over this track and distance in his past three starts, with a win and two 2nds. He loses the claim for the apprentice tonight so has to carry the full 60.5kg but he does get the services of Zac Purton, who replaces Alfie Chan. Hoping the booking of Zac outweighs the weight rise because the horse might be able to nab another win before having to rise in class and at the price it’s worth the punt.

Tip: (1) The Runner $4.00 Bet365

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN The Runner

Race 5

Larch Hcp (C4) (1200m)
11:45pm (AEDT)

Race 5 Larch Hcp (C4) (1200m) 11:45pm (AEDT)
1. Birdsville (8) J: Z Purton (60.5kg) T: D A Hayes		4.2
2. Killer Instinct (6) J: L Ferraris (60.5kg) T: C Fownes		21
3. Circuit Booming (12) J: K Teetan (59.5kg) T: A S Cruz		5
4. Triple Triple (4) J: M Chadwick (59.5kg) T: F C Lor		6.5
5. Noble Desire (9) J: H Bentley (58kg) T: D Whyte		20
6. Eternal Bloom (7) J: M Poon (57kg) T: P Yiu		7.5
7. Universal Go Go (1) J: C Ho (57kg) T: K W Lui		8
8. Happy Profit (2) J: K Chan (56.5kg) T: C S Shum		12
9. Splendid Star (10) J: H Mo (56kg) T: L Ho		71
10. Hero Star (3) J: K Leung (55.5kg) T: K L Man		5.5
11. Phenomenal Combo (5) J: V Borges (55.5kg) T: C H Yip		26
12. Treasure Of Field (11) J: D Moor (51.5kg) T: K H Ting		21

(1) Birdsville hasn’t been far away in recent starts, beaten 1.5L over this track and distance two starts ago, and then 2L at Sha Tin last start. He now gets the all-important class drop and with that, Zac Purton jumps on for the first time. David Hayes is a smart operator and it’s no coincidence that he’s got Zac on as soon as the horse has dropped in class.

Tip: (1) Birdsville $5.00 Bet365

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN Birdsville
