Happy Valley hosts Wednesday’s meeting and we have a close look at the quaddie as well as horses to watch for punters looking at Hong Kong this evening. The weather for the February 4th meeting is cool, with low visibility and clouds.
The winds are moderate from the east, becoming fresh northeasterlies.
Turf: Good (“A” Course)
Jockey Challenge
O Doleuze (Longshot)
Has a book of seven rides including Bright Star, Go Go Win and All The Best. Value at $16.
Best bets:
80-60 Class Three Handicap
Race 5, No. 4 Regency Ho Ho
Drawn off the track again but he’s finished off strongly in each of his last three runs. Look for him late.
60-40 Class Four Handicap
Race 6, No. 2 Go Go Win
Broke through for a deserved win last time. Drawn awkwardly but a solid tempo should allow him to slot in and get cover. Go close again.
80-60 Class Three Handicap
Race 7, No. 2 Choice Treasure (Best Bet)
Drops in grade after an excellent run behind Key Witness at Sha Tin. Dual course and distance winner who will get the race run to suit.
85-60 Class Three Handicap
Race 8, No. 2 Willie Invictus
Returns to Happy Valley after two ordinary runs at Sha Tin. His form around Pleasure Gains and Harbour Master reads well.
Quaddie
3,4,8 / 1,2,5 / 2,6 / 2,3,8,10.
