Convinced there’s only three real chances to kick off the night.
(4) Red Majesty relished the step up to 1650m last start, following a good run prior to that over 1200m. He saluted over the track and distance last start and did so in a fashion which suggests he should be hard to beat again, despite a 2.5kg rise in the weights. It can be hard for horses to win back-to-back races with the handicapping system in Hong Kong, but he looks to find another winnable race.
(7) Diamond Star looks a complete set up job to my eye. He’s had three starts since he was given a let-up in February. On all three occasions, he’s drawn a wide gate and gone back to the rear of the field. He was also caught wide throughout last start. Suddenly, Moreira goes on tonight and he’s come up with barrier 4, so I really expect a sharp turnaround in his performance.
(10) Wonderful Tiger is capable. He’s first up tonight and he did run a place first up last prep. Barrier 1 helps and this is his pet track and distance, so include him in your numbers.
Tip: (4) Red Majesty $2.30 Bet365
Also Backing: (7) Diamond Star $8.00 TopSport
Betting Strategy: 2 units WIN Red Majesty, 1 unit WIN Diamond Star

This is a really competitive Class 4 so I won’t be betting big here, but I think (6) Ever Joy is a blowout chance at $61. I backed him on debut when he had Zac Purton aboard, and he just raced so green. He showed several signs of being inexperienced, racing with his head on the side and then shifting in and out under pressure. I think his debut experience will bring him on plenty, and he hadn’t trialled all that bad leading into his debut. Barrier 2 is a positive tonight and at the huge odds, I’ll have a nickel each way.
Tip: (6) Ever Joy $61/$16 Sportsbet

(7) Rhapsody surely wins tonight. He’s run well in both starts back from a spell, finishing 3rd first up and 2nd last start. The draw tonight is tricky but third up, he looks clearly the horse to beat.
(5) What A Legend gets a drop in class and barrier 1. His past six starts have been in Class 3, and he’s drawn wide in his past two, but his last victory came at this track and distance with Chad Schofield aboard from barrier 1, which is an identical set up to tonight.
(2) Ares gets Purton back aboard and this is his second start back in class, so expect some improvement there.
Tip: (7) Rhapsody $3.40 Bet365

(7) Spontaneous steps up in grade tonight after back-to-back wins in Class 4. He’s not exactly been done many favours either, having to carry 56.5kg at his first go in this class. I think he’s good enough to overcome that though. He’s a horse on the up, gets a great draw in barrier 4 and his weight at least allows Purton to keep the ride on him.
Logical danger looks to be (11) Here Comes Ted at the bottom of the weights resuming with Joao Moreira aboard. He won twice in Class 4 earlier this season before failing at his first attempt in this class. He was sent for a break straight after it though. In his break he had throat surgery, so there’s every chance he can return a better horse. Drawn inside Spontaneous and no surprise to see him go very close.

Very small bet on (3) World Famous at double figure odds to end the night. He’s returning from a break tonight and has won over this track and distance in this class with a similar weight in the past, though it was well over a year ago. His trials have been good leading to his return and if he’s anywhere near his best, he’ll be competitive. Gets the right draw.
Tip: (3) World Famous $10/$3.20 Ladbrokes
Betting Strategy: 0.5 units E/W World Famous
