Hong Kong racing continues under the bright lights of Happy Valley Racecourse on Wednesday evening, with a bumper nine-race program set for decision. The rail is in the B course for the meeting, and with nothing but sunny skies forecast leading into race-day, punters can expect a genuine Good 4 surface. All the action is scheduled to get underway at 6:40pm local time.
Best Bet at Happy Valley: Bottomuptogether
The Frankie Lor-trained Bottomuptogether heads to Happy Valley for the first time and appears suited dropping back to the 1000m on the tight-turning circuit. The son of Shamus Award comes through some strong formlines at Sha Tin in recent starts, with his latest effort being narrowly defeated by Raging Blizzard as he faltered at the end of 1200m. Zac Purton possesses a formidable record of four starts for three wins and another minor placing aboard the progressive four-year-old, and provided he can make his way to the lead in the early stages, Bottomuptogether will take plenty of chasing.

Next Best at Happy Valley: Pray For Mir
Pray For Mir showed plenty of tenacity when narrowly defeated at Sha Tin on December 8, with Californiatotality getting the better of the Cody Mo-trained gelding in the concluding stages. The son of Justify may have been tested at the end of 1800m on that occasion, and as he heads to Happy Valley for the first time, the 1650m should be an ideal journey for this guy to make all. Zac Purton will attempt to dictate terms from stall three, and provided Pray For Mir can tick over a soft sectional in the middle stages, this guy should justify the short price with BlondeBet.

Best Value at Happy Valley: Sky Jewellery
Sky Jewellery has been impressive at the barrier trials as he prepares to make his debut for the John Size barn. The gelding by The Autumn Sun has improved every time he’s stepped out, with his latest piece of work particularly catching the eye at Conghua on January 6. He has been slow away on a few occasions; however, provided Hugh Bowman can get his barrier manners in check, Sky Jewellery should give a bold sight at an each-way price with horse racing bookmakers.
