Hong Kong racing returns to Happy Valley on Wednesday evening for a massive nine-race program under the lights of the city circuit. We should be racing on a pristine surface, with perfect conditions forecast in the lead-up. The rail is set in the C+3 position, so horses going forward should gain an advantage throughout the night. The opening event is scheduled for 6:40pm HKT (9:40pm AEDT).
Best Bet: Majestic Knight
Majestic Knight will be seeking to turn the tables on Heroic Master after suffering a 0.8-length defeat at this course and distance on October 4. The son of Redoute’s Choice gets a crucial 5kg swing in the weights courtesy of apprentice jockey Angus Chung’s 3kg claim. Majestic Knight should be the natural leader from barrier four and will look the winner for much of the 1000m journey.

Next Best: Turin Warrior
Turin Warrior is winless in 22 Hong Kong starts; however, his promising effort first-up at Happy Valley gives the impression the six-year-old is ready to break his duck. He drew barrier 10 on return and retreated to the rear of the field under Zac Purton before storming down the centre of the course to go down by only half a length. Purton will be much more positive from gate four this time, and Turin Warrior looks perfectly placed by the Manfred Man camp.

Next Best Again: Speedstar
Speedstar was brave in his latest effort at Happy Valley on October 4 when sitting three wide without cover for the entire trip. Keagan De Melo tried to press forward on the son of Sweynesse but was unable to get in from barrier eight. He draws much softer in stall three this time and shouldn’t have any issues slotting in comfortably under De Melo. Speedstar is on the verge of a class drop if he doesn’t perform well here, but this is very winnable.
