(6) Copartner Ambition was terrific on debut a month ago, coming from 12^th on the turn to reel off the fastest final 400m and get within a short-half-head of the winner. He should be able to settle closer today from barrier 4 and up to 1400m today looks to really suit him given his finishing burst last start.

Tip: (6) Copartner Ambition $3.40 Bet365

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN Copartner Ambition

Two horses I’ll be backing here.

There will be plenty of Aussies keen to see (4) Beauty Fit make his Hong Kong debut (formerly known as Barocha). He won both starts in Australia dominantly and has had five trials for new trainer John Size to get him ready for his first race. I think he’s the best horse in the race but the concern for me is his barrier manners, as he’s jumped very slowly in his past couple of trials. If he does that and ends up back last, he’s going to have a big task to run them down. So the $2.70 is short enough with that in mind.

The really interesting runner is (11) Hall Of Champ who makes his stable debut for Casper Fownes. This is a horse I’ve had plenty of time for and he now makes his way to the form stable of the land. We saw another horse completely turn its form around on stable debut for Fownes a couple of weeks ago, so don’t be surprised to see this one go very well today. He draws poorly in barrier 12 but at $10 he’s definitely a bet.

Tip: (4) Beauty Fit $2.70 TopSport

Also Backing: (11) Hall Of Champ $10 Bet365

Betting Strategy: 2 units WIN Beauty Fit, 1 unit WIN Hall Of Champ

(6) Gallant Express should be very hard to beat on debut today. He’s been trialling nicely in readiness for this, and his most recent trial was behind a G1 horse in Regency Legend. He was never placed under pressure and found the line well under his own steam, so he should be very hard to beat in a Class 4. Draws ideally in barrier 4 for Moreira and Size.

(1) Diamond Brilliant gets Zac Purton on and a drop in class. He wasn’t far off in tougher class than this last start and normally when Zac goes on these horses, they go very close.

(7) Go Go Sixteen was sound on debut and can improve at double figure odds.

Tip: (6) Gallant Express $2.80 Bet365

Value: (7) Go Go Sixteen $15 Bet365

Saver: (1) Diamond Brilliant $6.50 Bet365

Betting Strategy: 2.5 units WIN Gallant Express, 0.5 units WIN Diamond Brilliant, 0.5 units WIN Go Go Sixteen

(12) Forte looks a decent each way bet here at $6.50. He’s had three starts for a win and a placing. He now resumes from a 10-week break and has had two trials to have him right for today. He’s one of only two runners for the Fownes/Moreira combination, who strike at upwards of 30% together. Draws wide in barrier 13 but can be competitive at a decent price.

Tip: (12) Forte $6.50 Bet365

Betting Strategy: 0.75 units E/W Forte

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.
