1. We The South (3) J: J Moreira (60.5kg) T: F C Lor
2. Ginson (9) J: B Shinn (58.5kg) T: D A Hayes

6. Astro King (6) J: Jerry Chau (53.5kg) T: D Whyte
7. Seizing The Moment (1) J: K Teetan (53kg) T: J J Size
8. Wind Speeder (2) J: M L Yeung (52.5kg) T: Y S Tsui
9. Moeraki (4) J: H T Mo (51.5kg) T: C W Chang

Only a small bet to start but I’ll be backing (7) Seizing The Moment for John Size and Karis Teetan, who gets the advantageous draw of barrier 1 over the 1000m. He comes out of a strong race at Sha Tin behind the likes of Cordyceps Six and Nervous Witness and ran the fastest final 400m in finishing 4th. Him and the winner were the only two to break 22 seconds for the final sectional. Query is Moreira jumps off to ride the topweight and favourite but he should be going close.

Tip: (7) Seizing The Moment $3.80 Bet365

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN Seizing The Moment

9. Fortune Winner (4) J: H T Mo (55kg) T: L Ho
10. Off The Reel (12) J: C Y Ho (54.5kg) T: P Yiu
11. Yee Cheong Warrior (1) J: Z Purton (54.5kg) T: D J Hall
12. Travel Glory (8) J: A Badel (54kg) T: Y S Tsui

Backing two runners here, which are the two horses with the inside draws. Inside draw are a big plus over 1650m in this rail position.

(11) Yee Cheong Warrior ran a very good race first up at 1200m before being a bit plain last time out. Now steps up to 1650m third up from a spell and Purton goes on for David Hall. That’s a big jockey change, the barrier is a huge help and with even luck he goes close.

(5) Nordic Warrior comes off a 3rd placing over track and distance and draws barrier 2 for a good run. He’s an each way chance.

Tip: (11) Yee Cheong Warrior $4.40 TopSport

Also Backing: (5) Nordic Warrior $9.00 TopSport

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN Yee Cheong Warrior, 0.5 units WIN Nordic Warrior

(1) Won Ball was beaten a nose at this track and distance last start under similar conditions. Comes up with the inside draw tonight and with any sort of competent ride from apprentice Alfred Chan, he should be awfully hard to run down again.

John Size has a mortgage on this race with the top three in betting, but I’ll be with the outsider of those three in (6) Scores Of Fun. He steps up in grade after winning in Class 3 last start, but he gets the inside draw in his favour tonight with Purton jumping on. That helps, but he also recorded a very good final 400m and 800m last start on the same night as his stablemates. Granted, they ran the fastest overall time, but he’s not hopeless of turning them over here.

Tip: (6) Scores Of Fun $6.00/$2.25 Sportsbet

Betting Strategy: 0.5 units E/W Scores Of Fun

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.
