Hong Kong racing returns to the bright lights of Happy Valley Racecourse on Wednesday evening for a competitive nine-race program. The rail is in the B position, and with the rainfall predicted to stop prior to the opening event at 6:40pm local time, the surface should be an improving Soft 5 for all participants.
Best Bet at Happy Valley: Super Joy N Fun
Super Joy N Fun is attempting to remain undefeated as he heads into Class 3 company for the first time. The son of What’s The Story led all the way in his two victories at this course and distance, managing to hold off all challengers despite racing ungenerously in the middle stages. The three-year-old gelding still has plenty of upside, and with a favourable jump-and-run style of racing, Super Joy N Fun will prove hard to chase down with 54.5kg on his back.

Next Best at Happy Valley: Chain Of Gold
Chain Of Gold was sensational through the line at this track and trip on April 10 and finally gets a race to suit. He drew barrier 12 of 12 in his most recent outing, forcing the Cody Mo-trained gelding to drop back before making strong inroads with a blistering finish down the centre of the course. Zac Purton takes the reins from barrier two, and with an economical run in transit, watch for Chain Of Gold to storm over the top and secure his first Hong Kong win.

Best Value: Denfield
Denfield couldn’t find the frame across seven starts in Class 3 company and looks far better suited dropping back in grade. His latest outing in Class 4 resulted in a half-length victory on October 4, with the son of Deep Field making every post a winner despite the 61kg on his back. Apprentice hoop Angus Chung takes 1.5kg off with his claim, and although he may not have been at his best of late, a return to form should have Denfield right in this.
