Many Australians will be familiar with (3) Ima Single Man, who was the G2 Karrakatta Plate winner last season in Perth. He struggled early on in Hong Kong but his past two starts have been outstanding. He recorded the fastest final 400m in defeat two starts ago, where he drew barrier 12 and was the only horse to break 22 seconds for his final sectional. He then broke through for his first HK win last start over 1200m, and if you didn’t watch the race, I urge you to watch the replay. He was a good few lengths off the leaders with about 200m to go, but really knuckled down when he got to the outside, charging over the top late. He beat Drops of God on that occasion and he meets that horse again today. While he meets him 2.5kg worse off at the weights, I really think the prices are too far apart and he can win again. Stepping up to 1400m looks a positive based off last start.

(6) Dublin Star is the other horse I’ll be having something small on. He won two starts ago and then ran 2^nd to the very smart Killer Bee last start. That horse has four wins from five starts and would start a very short-priced favourite if he was in this race. Dublin Star draws well and should be very competitive.

Tip: (3) Ima Single Man $4.80 Sportsbet

Also Backing: (6) Dublin Star $6.50 Ladbrokes

Betting Strategy: 1.5 units WIN Ima Single Man, 0.75 units WIN Dublin Star

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.
