Hong Kong racing returns to Happy Valley on Wednesday evening for a bumper nine-race program set to get underway at 9:40pm local time. The rail moves out to the B course after racing in the true position last Wednesday for the International Jockey Championship, and with no rain predicted on Monday and Tuesday, punters can anticipate a genuine Good 4 surface.
Best Bet at Happy Valley: Telecom Dragon
Telecom Dragon only found one better in the form of Yee Cheong Spirit at this course and distance on November 20 and appears set to peak third-up into the campaign. The son of Derryn got every chance when squeezing through a gap but was simply no match for the eventual winner when the sprint went on. James McDonald should land into the one-one from barrier three, and with no Yee Cheong Spirit here to spoil the party, Telecom Dragon must be considered the one to beat.

Next Best at Happy Valley: Modest Gentleman
The Dennis Yip-trained Modest Gentleman was a good thing licked in his latest outing, never coming off the bridal at this track and trip on November 27. He had nowhere to go when racing behind a wall of horses, sitting in behind for a glorified barrier trial when beaten 2.3 lengths under a stranglehold. Harry Bentley does the steering from barrier three this time around, and with even luck, expect Modest Gentleman to justify the short price with horse racing bookmakers.

Best Value at Happy Valley: Noisy Boy
Noisy Boy represents terrific each-way value in the Happy Valley finale after hitting the line well first-up over an unsuitable trip at Sha Tin on November 3. The 1400m was too sharp for the son of Real Steel but he never shirked the task, however, getting within five lengths of the in-form My Wish. His barrier trial behind Massive Sovereign over 1600m couldn’t have been more impressive, and although it may be a start early before he peaks, the price on offer with Picklebet is too juicy to ignore.
