Hong Kong racing will resume on Wednesday night as Happy Valley Racecourse plays host to an eight-race program under lights. Sunday’s Sha Tin meeting was forced to be abandoned after a typhoon warning; however, we should have clearing conditions for Wednesday evening. The rail is in the A position as the opening race is scheduled to get underway at 7:10pm HKT (10:10pm AEDT).
Best Bet at Happy Valley: Awesome Treasure
Awesome Treasure produced a terrific runner-up effort first-up at this course and distance on September 27. He looked to make every post a winner under Lyle Hewitson and was only narrowly defeated in the shadows of the post. Zac Purton gets the assignment this time, and with a chance to slot in for cover from barrier one, Awesome Treasure can go one better on Wednesday night.

Next Best at Happy Valley: Winning Dragon
Winning Dragon did enough on resumption to warrant following second-up for the preparation and looks beautifully placed in Class 3 company. He was forced to be ridden wide from barrier 10 on that occasion before tracking outside the lead over the 1650m journey. The six-year-old should find a much more economical run in transit this time, and with a lack of tempo engaged, Winning Dragon could even lead throughout this time.

Next Best Again at Happy Valley: Wood On Fire
Wood On Fire is well-exposed galloper in Hong Kong now, with 59 career starts to his name. He’s found the winner’s enclosure on six occasions and his latest effort suggests he isn’t far away from adding to his tally. The son of Per Incanto raced between rivals on September 20 before checking off heels to eventually get to the middle of the course, and when he did, accelerated through the line. If Wood On Fire can replicate that effort, with a bit more luck, he can make it career win number seven.
