Happy Valley Racecourse is the destination for Hong Kong racing on Sunday afternoon, with a rare 10-race program set for decision. The rail is in the C position the entire circuit, and although there is some light rainfall expected in the lead-up, it shouldn’t have any affect on the current Good 4 rating. With the rail out, punters may want to favour on-speed runners with the opening event getting underway at 12:45pm local time.
Best Bet at Happy Valley: Romantic Son
Romantic Son was a dominant 3.5-length maiden winner at Geelong on March 16 before heading to Hong Kong and looks to have acclimatised well since transferring to the David Hayes barn. The son of Smart Missile has improved with every piece of work under his belt, particularly catching the eye when quickening at Sha Tin on October 15. Leading hoop Zac Purton should gain an economical run in transit from barrier one, and provided he can get clear at a crucial stage, Romantic Son should prove hard to hold out first-up.

Next Best at Happy Valley: Horsepower
Back-to-back barrier trial wins should hold Horsepower in good stead for this first-up assignment. The four-year-old gelding has shown terrific early speed in his trials, with Zac Purton being legged aboard to score with plenty in hand at this course and distance on October 5. Watch for Purton to launch across and sit outside the leader throughout the journey, and although he lacks race-day fitness, Horsepower should prove too classy despite spending 10 months off the scene.

Best Value at Happy Valley: Telecom Dragon
Telecom Dragon returns after a total forgive at Sha Tin on July 1, with the post-race vet report noting blood in the trachea. He looks to be back to his consistent best based on his recent barrier trial on October 15, with the son of Derryn cruising through the wire behind Super Sixty to suggest he’s ready for a first-up assault. Barrier one should allow Matthew Chadwick to stalk the leading pair throughout, and once off the rail, Telecom Dragon should be powering through the line at a good each-way price with horse racing bookmakers.
