Hong Kong racing returns to the bright lights of Happy Valley Racecourse on Wednesday evening for a competitive eight-race program. The rail pushes out to the C position, and with no rain forecast in the lead-up, we should be racing on a genuine Good 4 surface. The opening race is scheduled for 7:10pm HKT (10:10pm AEDT).
Best Bet: Giddy Up
Giddy Up made an eye-catching Hong Kong debut for the Jamie Richards barn at this track and trip on November 22. He was dragged back towards the rear of the field from barrier 11 and had no choice but to sneak up the inside rail, powering home to be beaten by less than a length. Watch for Karis Teetan to hold a prominent position from gate two, and with a strong tempo expected, Giddy Up should get the last crack at his tiring rivals.

Next Best: Flying Phantom
Flying Phantom has been a work-in-progress for the John Size stable and makes his debut in Class 4 company. The son of Dissident has had a total of five barrier trials, and his latest may have been the most promising. He was urged along to lead at Conghua on December 15 before racing under a hold to cruise into a runner-up finish. Zac Purton takes the reins, and with the three-year-old likely to lead, Flying Phantom should give a bold sight.

Best Value: Happy Together
Happy Together has had one start for one win in Class 2 company and will seek to keep that record unblemished on Wednesday. The gelding by Dragon Pulse headed to the Class 1 Chevalier Cup (1600m) on November 26 last start, managing to feature in the minor money. This will be his first trip to Happy Valley, and although the likes of Chill Chibi and Drombeg Banner pose a threat, it should mean the top bookmakers give us a good price for Happy Together in the first leg of the quaddie.
