Happy Valley Racecourse is the destination for Hong Kong racing on Wednesday evening, with a bumper nine-part program set to take place under lights. The rail moves to the C course for the meeting, and with pristine conditions forecast in the lead-up, punters can expect a genuine Good 4 surface throughout the night. All the action is set to get underway at 6:40pm HKT.
Best Bet at Happy Valley: View Of The World
View Of The World made a mess of his rivals at this course and distance on December 26 and goes in search of back-to-back wins in this Class 3 contest to end the evening. The son of Derryn put his Class 4 rivals away with relative ease in his latest outing, with the four-year-old producing a stunning turn-of-speed to secure the 2.3-length victory eased down by Zac Purton in the concluding stages. Purton will look to lob into the one-one from stall five, and provided he doesn’t get caught wide, View Of The World should have no issues justifying the short price with horse racing bookmakers.

Next Best at Happy Valley: Spirit Of Peace
Spirit Of Peace had no luck last start at Happy Valley on January 8, with the gelding by Harry Angel held up behind a wall of horses at a crucial stage. The four-year-old maiden still had the audacity to close within two lengths of Happy Soul despite the torrid run, suggesting it’s worth forgiving the John Size-trained gelding heading into this third-up assignment. Zac Purton will attempt to sit one-off the rail this time to get his crack at them late, and with even luck this time around, Spirit Of Peace should be finishing off best.

Best Value at Happy Valley: Beauty Alliance
Beauty Alliance heads to Happy Valley for the first time after suffering a 2.8-length defeat at the hands of Legend St Paul’s at Sha Tin on New Year’s Day. The son of Starcraft didn’t have much luck on that occasion, forced back from barrier 14 and sitting on the three-wide line with cover throughout the journey. He was a dominant winner two starts back with Zac Purton in the saddle, and provided he can replicate that maiden-breaking performance, Beauty Alliance will prove hard to hold out at a good price with Picklebet.
