Best Bet at Happy Valley: Casa Rochester
Casa Rochester caught the eye stepping back in grade at this course and distance on March 5 and should’ve finished much closer than the two-length margin may suggest. The son of Redwood didn’t get much room at a crucial stage, checking off heels before finally making strong inroads in the final furlong. He draws gate five to sit closer in transit, and with a bit more luck when trying to get clear, Casa Rochester should finish off best at a good price with horse racing bookmakers.
Best Bet
Race 5 – 
#1 Casa Rochester (5)

Next Best at Happy Valley: Flying Fortress
Flying Fortress looked to be blousing his rivals at Happy Valley on February 19 and was only denied by the judge in a head-bobbing finish in Class 4 company. The son of Shamexpress drops 7.5kg stepping back into Class 3 and shouldn’t be forced back to last this around with the added benefit of barrier two. Harry Bentley looks poised to land in the one-one throughout, and provided Flying Fortress has come on from that effort despite a month between runs, watch for this guy to be storming over the top.

Best Value at Happy Valley: Loveisintheair
Loveisintheair gave a good account of himself debuting at this course and distance on March 5. The Street Boss gelding was one of the last ones turning for home on that occasion, with the three-year-old peaking on the run after being asked to make a sustained run down the centre of the course. The experienced Hugh Bowman gets legged aboard from barrier eight this time around, and provided this guy can bounce from a tough first-up effort, Loveisintheair warrants respect at a good price with Dabble.
