Odds Last Updated: October 27, 2021, 10:49pm (AEDT)

(1) HongKong Great is much better suited tonight stepping at his pet track and distance second up. Won three from four at this track and distance, draws perfectly in barrier 4 and gets Zac Purton on. Plenty to like and looks the one to beat.

(3) Kings Shield is another dirt specialist. Normally resumes over shorter distances but goes straight to 1650m tonight. I think he’s a danger but Purton would have had the choice of rides and goes with HongKong Great. Expect both of those to land right on speed.

There’s $2.30 and $7.50 available about the two of them so will back HongKong Great and save King’s Shield.

Tip: (1) HongKong Great $2.30 Sportsbet

Saver: (3) Kings Shield $7.50 Bet365

Betting Strategy: 2 units WIN HongKong Great, 0.5 units WIN Kings Shield

(2) Super Fast looks one of the best of the night. Ready now third up from a spell, up to 1800m and Purton sticks. He won by 4L on the dirt last prep when able to lead throughout and there doesn’t look a whole lot of speed on paper here, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see him ridden aggressively from the inside gate. $3.00 available.

Tip: (2) Super Fast $3.00 Bet365

Betting Strategy: 1.5 units WIN Super Fast

(3) Chancheng Prince bolted in last start over this track and distance, however it did rain heavily that meeting which sometimes makes the form very unreliable. Anyway, that was his first go on the dirt so perhaps he relishes the surface. He only carries 1kg more tonight in another winnable race so any repeat of last start would make him a very strong winning chance.

(10) Gold Comet was beaten 7L by Chancheng Prince last start but meets him 3.5kg better at the weights and won by 9L over this track and distance third up last prep. Can improve tonight.

Tip: (3) Chancheng Prince $4.60 Bet365

Value: (10) Gold Comet $8.00 Ladbrokes

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN Chancheng Prince, 0.25 units WIN Gold Comet

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.
