Keen to be with the Fownes/Moreira combination here with (6) The Crown, who ran a luckless 5th first up behind Master Montaro. He drew barrier 13, was snagged back behind runners, and then ran up backsides for the entire straight. He was rarely in clear air and he had to change course in the home straight on a number of occasions. He still finished off well and was only beaten 1.8L, despite not being put under maximum pressure. Moreira jumps on today, he draws well and with even luck he should take plenty of beating.

Tip: (6) The Crown $3.00 Ladbrokes

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN The Crown

Pretty confident (7) Beauty Cheers goes very close here. Barrier 1 over the 1200m on the B course at Sha Tin is a huge advantage, accounting for 27% of the winners. This horse comes up with the inside draw and he’s trialled well on a number of occasions now ahead of his first up run today. Moreira goes on for John Size and with even luck he should prove very hard to beat.

(1) Enchanting Start has had Purton on in all three trials and he sticks with for race day. He draws right to the outside of Beauty Cheers in barrier 2 and looks a decent price at $7.00.

Tip: (7) Beauty Cheers $3.80 Bet365

Also Backing: (1) Enchanting Start $7.00 TopSport

Betting Strategy: 2 units WIN Beauty Cheers, 0.5 units WIN Enchanting Spirit

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.
