Hong Kong racing heads back to the city circuit on Wednesday evening as Happy Valley Racecourse gets set to host a massive nine-race program. The rail moves to the B position throughout the entire circuit, and with perfect conditions in the lead-up, we should be racing on a pristine Good 4 track. The opening race is set to get underway at 6:40pm HKT (9:40pm AEDT).
Best Bet: Humble Star
Humble Star has had three starts for three minor placings this preparation. The son of Star Witness was unable to chase down a dominant leader at this course and distance on November 1 as Majestic Knight bolted clear of his rivals. Humble Star was the best of those behind, and we’re confident Zac Purton will elect to be much more positive on the Pierre Ng-trained gelding this time. He has the chance to slot into the one-one position, and from there it should be a case of ‘how far’.

Next Best: Tomodachi Kokoroe
Tomodachi Kokoroe broke his maiden in stylish fashion last start in Class 4 company and gets a similar setup to make it back-to-back wins. He went on to score by 3.5 lengths on that occasion, leading throughout the 1200m contest. The handicapper didn’t miss him, however, slapping him with 10 rating points as he rejoins Class 3 company. Expect similar front-running tactics to offset the 58.5kg that Tomodachi Kokoroe will need to carry to victory.

Best Value: Judy’s Great
Judy’s Great has done enough at the barrier trials to suggest he’s worth a look on debut. The Danny Shum-trained gelding has impressed in all four of his jump-outs, particularly his latest on October 31 when just headed on the wire. Zac Purton took the reins in all those trials, which is a strong guide as Judy’s Great heads into race-day conditions. Andrea Atzeni gets the appointment for Wednesday, and we should be getting an each-way price with online bookmakers.
