Will go with the tried and tested ‘Purton on a class dropper’ here with (1) Crown Avenue. Unlike a lot of horses tonight, he’s had a run already this season, where he finished 5th in Class 4 company at Sha Tin 10 days ago. he now drops into Class 5 and gets to 1800m with Purton booked. Draws ideally and should be right in the finish.

Odds Last Updated: September 15, 2021, 9:46pm (AEDT)

(9) Red Impact won his final start last season which came over this track and distance in this same class. He goes up in weight for that but he draws well once again here in barrier 5 and David Hayes has made a flying start to the season. The horse Red Imapct beat came out and won his first start this season so the form has stacked up. With even luck goes close.

Tip: (9) Red Impact $5.00 Bet365

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN Red Impact

A horse we had plenty of success with last season was (9) Fa Fa and I’ll be with him again tonight. He won two of his last three starts last season and ran 2nd beaten a nose in the other. All of those were over this track and distance and the last of them was dominant. Now steps up in class but drops to 52.5kg and draws well in barrier 5. Think he can win again.

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.
