Odds Last Updated: December 27, 2021, 5:02pm (AEDT)

Queensland Derby runner-up (5) Senor Toba looks to have found a very nice race to record his first win in Hong Kong. He drew barrier 1 over the mile last start and was hooked back to last by Matthew Chadwick, before taking off around the field to get into the race. He stuck on very well for 3rd given the ground he covered mid-race and the step up to 2000m is only going to suit him today. Joao Moreira jumps on from gate 2 and with a good run in transit, he looks very hard to beat.

Tip: (5) Senor Toba $2.35 BetDeluxe

Betting Strategy: 1.5 units WIN Senor Toba

(1) Cordyceps Six won consecutive races over this track and distance before suffering defeat at the hands of Alcari last start. I thought the ride from Chad Schofield was poor – he was strung up behind runners and had to change course a couple of times, which ultimately cost him the race. He hit the line well when he found clear running along the rail but I thought the race was lost before then. Draws the grandstand rail again today with Jerry Chau taking over and if he gets clear running throughout, I think he can bounce back.

Betting Strategy: 1.5 units WIN Cordyceps Six

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.
