Hong Kong racing returns to Happy Valley on Wednesday evening, with a competitive eight-race program set to be run under the bright lights of the city circuit. The rail moves out to the C+3 position for the meeting, and with no rain forecast in the lead-up, participants can expect a genuine Good 4 surface throughout the night. All the action is scheduled to get underway at 7:10pm local time.
Best Bet at Happy Valley: Super Unicorn
Super Unicorn couldn’t have been more impressive dismantling his rivals at this course and distance on October 9. The son of Savabeel pressed on to score by six lengths under Zac Purton, securing his maiden victory in stylish fashion to suggest the five-year-old still has plenty of upside. Barrier two should allow Purton to lob into the ideal stalking position throughout, and although he only drops 3.5kgs for the rise to Class 3 company, Super Unicorn should prove hard to hold out in his quest for back-to-back wins.

Next Best at Happy Valley: Mighty Steed
Mighty Steed should appreciate the drop into Class 4 company after a suffering 1.8-length defeat at the hands of Jumbo Legend. He got every chance on that occasion but couldn’t stick on with some handy types, fading in the final furlong. This contest lacks depth compared to what he faced last time out, and with Zac Purton hopping aboard to offset the hefty weight (61kg), Mighty Steed looks perfectly placed to secure his first Hong Kong win.

Best Value at Happy Valley: Sixth Generation
Sixth Generation peaked on his run second-up at Sha Tin on October 1. He was closing with vigour behind the likes of View Of The World and Jumbo Fortune, slowly building into this work when it was all over. Barrier one allows Andrea Atzeni to sit much closer aboard the son of Per Incanto, and provided he can get off the inside running rail at a crucial stage, Sixth Generation should give followers a bold sight at an each-way price with horse racing bookmakers.
