(3) Daily Beauty dropped back to 1200m last start and it paid dividends, scoring by 1.5L. He drew barrier 1 on that occasion which is always a huge plus over this track and distance – barrier 1 has a 26% strike rate over 1200m on the C+3 course at Happy Valley. He gets the same draw tonight, so despite rising 3kg in the weights, I think that makes him hard to beat once again. Moreira stays on him for leading trainer Casper Fownes and I’m backing him to make it back-to-back wins.

This is a good little Class 3 but once again I’m sticking with a Casper Fownes/Joao Moreira last-start winner in the form of (7) Kurpany. I absolutely declared this horse last time out and he won easily, and despite this probably being a harder race, I think he can win again. He’s returned in outstanding form this prep. He bolted in by 3.5L three starts ago, then blew the start horribly two starts back before flying home to be beaten 2L in 4th, and won easily as mentioned last time out. He draws well in barrier 4, Moreira stays on and I think he’s quite clearly the horse to beat.

The top weight (1) Scores Of Fun has never missed a place from seven starts over this track and distance and has to be respected.

(6) Hinchinlove won easily last time out, defeating spruik horse Harmony N Blessed by 2.5L at Sha Tin. Prior to that, he sat three-wide on speed when 4th over track and distance and went to the line alongside Scores Of Fun. We’re getting a decent price tonight because Purton jumps off (I assume due to a prior booking) but I really don’t think he’s out of this.

Purton takes the ride on (4) Racing Fighter who drops in class. Last time he raced in this class he won with Zac on board so he has to be a chance.

Good race, I’ll be backing Kurpany and Hinchinlove.

Tip: (7) Kurpany $2.90 Bet365

Also Backing: (6) Hinchinlove $8.50 Bet365

Betting Strategy: 2.5 units WIN Kurpany, 0.5 units WIN Hinchinlove

Good race to close out the meeting and once again I’ll be looking to back Moreira and Purton.

Moreira takes the ride on (2) Green Luck for Casper Fownes and he drops back into Class 3 for the first time since June last year. He’s got a good record at the track and distance and draws well in barrier 3. He should be hard to beat back in this class.

Purton goes on (8) High Rev first up and this is his pet track and distance, with three of his four career wins coming here. He’s more than capable of winning this and he looks to have been set to run well fresh with three trials under the belt and Zac booked straight away. At $8.00, he’s a decent price.

Tip: (2) Green Luck $3.80 Ladbrokes

Also Backing: (8) High Rev $8.00 Ladbrokes

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN Green Luck, 0.5 units WIN High Rev

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.
