Hong Kong racing returns to Happy Valley on Wednesday evening for a bumper nine-race program. The rail is placed in the C position, and with no significant rainfall predicted in the lead-up, it should be a fair Good 4 surface throughout the night. The action is set to get underway at 6:40pm HKT (8:40pm AEST).
Best Bet at Happy Valley: Beauty Infinity
Although Beauty Infinity was well beaten by 2.3 lengths at this course and distance on March 27, punters should be willing to follow this talented four-year-old with confidence. He got too far back in an on-speed dominated affair yet proved classy enough to finish runner-up. There should be a solid tempo with the likes of Happy Fat Cat and Superb Capitalist battling for position, leaving Zac Purton and Beauty Infinity to get the last crack at their rivals.

Next Best at Happy Valley: Ka Ying Cheer
Ka Ying Cheer resumes after a four-month spell and two impressive barrier trials. He won a jump-out on the Conghua surface before heading to Sha Tin on April 9, cruising through the wire under a stranglehold. He heads to Happy Valley for the first time as Hugh Bowman hops in the saddle, and with his jump-and-run pattern likely to suit this circuit, Ka Ying Cheer can make every post a winner as he brings up his second Hong Kong victory.

Best Value at Happy Valley: Excel Wongchoy
After drawing barriers 10, 13 and 13 respectively, Excel Wongchoy finally draws a marble (6) as he drops back in grade. The son of Exceed And Excel raced three wide throughout his most recent outing at Sha Tin on March 31, fading out to go down by 5.8 lengths. The effort had more merit than the margin may suggest, and with the four-year-old set to gain an economical run in transit, Excel Wongchoy will prove a terrific each-way chance with online bookmakers.
