What Happy Valley Races
Where Happy Valley Racecourse – Wong Nai Chung Rd, Happy Valley, Hong Kong
When Wednesday, June 5, 2024
First Race 6:40pm HKT (8:40pm AEST)

Hong Kong racing returns to the bright lights of Happy Valley Racecourse on Wednesday evening, with a bumper nine-race program set for decision. The rail is in the A position, and with more heavy rainfall expected to hit the track in the lead-up, punters should anticipate a yielding surface. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 6:40pm local time.

Best Bet: Intrepid Winner

Intrepid Winner looks perfectly placed dropping back into Class 4 company for the first time. The son of Fastnet Rock finds himself at his lowest Hong Kong rating of 60, but it hasn’t been without trying hard at the bottom of Class 3. His last win came at this course and distance on December 20, so provided he can handle the 61kg on his back, Intrepid Winner should have the quality to dispatch this lot.

Next Best: Sky Trust

Sky Trust couldn’t have been more impressive at Sha Tin on May 19, careering away to score by a half-length. It was a much-deserved win for the Caspar Fownes-trained three-year-old, breaking his maiden after finding the minor money on three occasions. He’s drawn to slot into a mid-field position throughout the 1650m, and although this is his first time seeing Happy Valley, Sky Trust only needs to handle the conditions to be figuring in the finish.

Best Value: Draco

Draco had no luck at this track and trip on May 22 and should’ve finished much closer than the three-length margin may suggest. The son of Deep Field was cast wide without cover throughout, never getting a breather under Lyle Hewitson. He draws gate three this time to get an economical run and transit, and provided Hugh Bowman can lob into a prominent position, Draco should give a bold sight at an each-way price with online bookmakers.
