Winning Form share all of their best bets and tips for Wednesday’s racing coming your way from Hong Kong on 12 April 2023.
VALUE BET – ACT OF FAITH ridden by K. Teetan
BEST BET – E UNIVERSE ridden by H. Bowman
12:45 – Race 1 | Class 3 | 2200m
Selections: 4/1/3
NATURAL STORM finished 3.5 lengths behind ESCAPE ROUTE last time. He is 2.5kgs better off at the weights and there shouldn’t be too much separating them when they hit the line. The Millard trained ABOVE ALL’s last good performance was on this course and he is capable of finding a form return in this opening contest.
13:15 – Race 2 | Class 5 | 1650m
Selections: 6/5/10
JOLLY HONOUR was beaten the narrowest of margins by TO INFINITY in his last start and will be looking to make amends. CHARIZARD finished runner-up behind Our Creed last time. He has cracked pole position and should give another good account of himself.
13:45 – Race 3 | Class 4 | 1200m
Selections: 10/5/1
ONE FOR ALL was a narrow comeback winner over Harmony N Home. He will a strip a fitter horse and can make it quick back-to-back victories. WOOD ON FIRE ran on nicely to win his last start. He has cracked a neat draw and should be one of the leading contenders.
14:15 – Race 4 | Class 3 | 1650m
Selections: 4/6/9
LOYAL BABY was beaten a neck by back-to-back winner Nimble Nimbus in his last start. He is nicely handicapped and will have plenty of followers. MALDIVES found a form return on the All Weather last time and will just need to transfer that form onto turf to have a say in this line-up.
14:45 – Race 5 | Class 4 | 1000m
Selections: 4/9/11
G ONE EXCELLENT reeled off a hat-trick last time when defeating HEARTY WISH and the manner in which he drew off suggests there is another win in the tank. If you look past him the contest gets trickier and DIAMOND SOARS with a light weight could be one to cause an upset.
15:15 – Race 6 | Class 4 | 1650m
Selections: 6/2/4
STURDY RUBY produced an eye-catching debut performance when beaten just under a length by King Of The Court. He should come on nicely with that run under the belt and can go close to winning this contest. HOLY POWER was a beaten Favorita behind Villa Fionn in his last start, and it is encouraging that Zac Purton has kept faith in the ride.
15:45 – Race 7 | Class 4 | 1200m
Selections: 5/3/6
E UNIVERSE has reached the frame in both starts and is coming along the right way. He was narrowly-beaten over this distance last time and looks one of the better bets on the card. HARMONY N HOME finished close-up behind One For All and it will be intriguing to see if the form line is done any favors in Race 3.
16:15 – Race 8 | Class 2 | 1650m
Selections: 8/1/6
GORYTUS was beaten half a length by SAVAQUIN in a competitive field last time. He is 2kgs better off at the weights and can turn the tables on his recent conqueror. BERLIN TANGO is also nicely weighted with apprentice Chung aboard and the combination merit healthy respect.
16:50 – Race 9 | Class 3 | 1200m
Selections: 12/2/4
ACT OF FAITH has placed in his last two outings and was only beaten just over a length by Eason last time. He comes in at the bottom of the weights and definitely represents decent each-way value for Hong Kong racing pundits. GOLD GOLD BABY and XPONENTIAL were separated by half a length last time and are both genuine contenders in the lucky last!
