Hong Kong racing returns to Happy Valley on Wednesday evening for a classy nine-race program. The rail is out in the C+3 position throughout the circuit, and although there are some light showers predicted in the lead-up, it shouldn’t have any effect on the Good 4 rating. The opening race is scheduled to get underway at 6:40pm local time.
Best Bet: Son Pak Fu
Son Pak Fu held his own in the Group 1 Centenary Sprint Cup (1200m) at Sha Tin on January 28 and now returns to his favoured circuit. The son of Fighting Sun has a 50 percent win rate at Happy Valley and chalked up back-to-back victories in Class 2 before making that massive leap into Group 1 company, where he was unsuited to the set-weight conditions. The Benno Yung barn has the five-year-old perfectly placed in Class 1 on Wednesday evening, and with just a small field of eight runners, watch for Son Pak Fu to launch over the top to score.

Race 4 – 
#3 Son Pak Fu (2)

Next Best: Galaxy Witness
Galaxy Witness returns to Class 3 company for the first time since May 2022. The gelding by Star Witness has raced ultra-consistently against tougher opposition in Class 2, signified by his bold runner-up effort last start behind Happy Together on December 20. He does tend to get too far back in his races, but with the hefty weight of 61kg on his back, jockey Karis Teetan can be much more positive in the run. If Galaxy Witness gains an economical run in transit, he will simply prove too classy.

Best Value: The Khan
Nothing went to plan for The Khan on debut at Sha Tin on January 28, and the 5.5-length margin isn’t a true reflection of the potential this guy has. He was dragged back towards the rear of the field by Karis Teetan, and from there it was a glorified barrier trial for the son of Acclamation. He was ridden up in the concluding stages and found nothing but backsides before closing off nicely under his own steam. He draws barrier 11 on Wednesday, so he may get back again, but if the breaks fall his way, The Khan can close off best at a massive each-way price with online bookmakers.

Race 3 – 
#5 The Khan (11)
4yo Gelding | T: Caspar Fownes | J: Karis Teetan (57.5kg)
