Winning Form share all of thier best bets and tips for Wednesday’s racing coming your way from Happy Valley on 20 March 2024.
VALUE BET – SUPER FAST DRAGON ridden by A. Hamelin
BEST BET – JUNE PLANET ridden by K. Teetan
12:40 – Race 1 | Class 5 | 1800m
Selections: 6/11/10
SMART BEAUTY won his last start impressively under Brenton Avdulla. He remains in Class 5 and can make it quick back-to-back wins. DIAMOND WINNER finished 1.6 lengths behind LOYAL AMBITION in his last start. The pair meet on identical weight terms and he may have to settle for the same result.
13:10 – Race 2 | Class 4 | 1000m
Selections: 7/5/11
SUPER FAST DRAGON finished 1.8 lengths behind LEAN MASTER in his last outing. He is 3kgs better off at the weights and definitely represents decent each-way value for Hong Kong racing pundits. OVERSUBSCRIBED is well-drawn in barrier 2 and he must also be included in all bets.
13:40 – Race 3 | Class 5 | 1200m
Selections: 8/5/12
VIVA A LA has been narrowly beaten in his last two starts. He is always competitive in this grade and should give another good account of himself. DOUBLE SHOW produced a fair last effort over this course and distance. He gets Luke Ferraris aboard and can earn another cheque for his patrons.
14:10 – Race 4 | Class 4 | 1200m
Selections: 1/4/9
TELECOM SPEED remains in Class 4 and is nicely weighted with apprentice Angus Chung up. He meets the right field and should be one of the leading contenders. GLORY CLOUD ran on nicely from off the pace in his second start and can show further natural improvement. TATTENHAM is next best.
14:40 – Race 5 | Class 4 | 1200m
Selections: 10/6/7
DAN ATTACK followed up his recent win with a fair effort behind Beauty Infinity. He is nicely handicapped at this stage of his career and should be competitive. The grey SUPER CHARIZZARD produced a fair debut effort behind Lean Master and he should come on nicely with that run under the belt.
15:10 – Race 6 | Class 4 | 1650m
Selections: 3/2/5
GALLANT VALOUR has consistent form lines to his credit and is always in the money at Happy Valley. RED MAJESTY finished a neck behind Charity Bingo in his last start. He can feature if getting across from the wide draw without using up too much energy. ALL RICHES is next in line.
15:45 – Race 7 | Class 4 | 1650m
Selections: 6/5/4
The David Hayes-trained STRONGEST BOY finally got it right last time. He has cracked pole and it is encouraging that Zac Purton has kept faith in the ride. WIN WIN FIGHTER is better than his below-par last effort behind GALVANIC. He should feature in this line-up if finding his previous form.
16:15 – Race 8 | Class 3 | 1650m
Selections: 5/6/4
JUNE PLANET snuck up on the rail and rallied late to win his last start. He has shown a clear preference for racing at Happy Valley and could be one of the better bets on the card. The Japanese-bred LOVERO is in a rich vein of form and the only obvious concern is the wide draw. EIGHTEEN PALMS is weighted to finish closer to the top selection and can run into the placings.
16:50 – Race 9 | Class 3 | 1200m
Selections: 11/3/4
WINGS OF WAR finished third behind subsequent winner Raging Blizzard last time. He runs well for Harry Bentley and could be one to cause an upset. A AMERIC TE SPECSO finished a couple of lengths behind SUGAR SUGAR in his last run. He is 2.5kgs better off at the weights and there shouldn’t be too much separating them in the lucky last!
