Hong Kong racing returns to Happy Valley Racecourse on Wednesday evening, with a bumper nine-race program lined up under lights. Participants will be racing on the C course throughout the night, and although some rainfall is forecast to hit the region in the lead-up, it shouldn’t have any affect on the Good 4 rating at the time of acceptances. All the action is scheduled to get underway at 6:40pm local time.
Best Bet at Happy Valley: Copartner Prance
Copartner Prance has a formidable record at this course and distance, with the son of Epaulette boasting six wins from seven starts. He gets all the favours in this small field of five runners, with Ryan Moore likely to head straight to the top in this Class 1 contest. Expect the likes of Raging Blizzard and Taj Dragon to take him on mid-race, but with no significant pressure engaged, Copartner Prance must be considered the one to beat in the Happy Valley opener.

Race 1 – 
#3 Copartner Prance (2)

Next Best at Happy Valley: Super Sixty
Super Sixty only found one better in the form of Hayday in his latest outing at Happy Valley on February 5, with the pair clearing out on their remaining rivals to fight out the finish. He was gallant in defeat after settling worse than mid-field throughout the journey, with the son of Written By forced to drag back from barrier nine. He can sit much handier from gate two this time around, and provided he can accelerate in similar fashion, expect Super Sixty to crack his maiden at a good price with horse racing bookmakers.

#8 Super Sixty (2)

Best Value at Happy Valley: Aeris Nova
Aeris Nova comes out of a hot form race at Sha Tin on February 9, finishing 4.3 lengths behind the likes of Light Years Charm and Juneau Pride. The latter has already franked the form winning at Sha Tin on Sunday, and while Aeris Nova couldn’t match motors with the quinella pair, he did well fending off some other key challengers at the end of 1400m. He maps to find the one-one from barrier five, and if he can slingshot off the tight-turning Happy Valley circuit, there is no reason why Aeris Nova can’t figure once again.
