Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 5, 2023 Journalists Share Posted December 5, 2023 What International Jockeys’ Championship Night Where Happy Valley Racecourse – Wong Nai Chung Rd, Happy Valley, Hong Kong When Wednesday, December 6, 2023 First Race 6:30pm HKT (9:30pm AEDT) Visit Dabble Happy Valley sets the scene for a massive night of racing on Wednesday, with the world’s best riders making their way to Hong Kong for the International Jockeys’ Championship (IJC). James McDonald and Rachel King will fly the flag for Australia, while the likes of Ryan Moore, Tom Marquand and Hollie Doyle will represent Team Europe. Despite the humidity, there doesn’t seem to be any rain forecast to hit the course, where the rail moves back into the A position. The meeting is set to get underway at 6:30pm local time, with races four, five, seven and eight accumulating points for the IJC. Best Bet: Helene Feeling The Cox Plate-winning combination of Danny Shum and James McDonald reunites in the final event with Four-Year-Old Classic Series contender Helene Feeling. The son of Sioux Nation was luckless in his last start at Happy Valley on November 15, as he was cast wide throughout the 1650m journey and had to sustain a long run home. His trial alongside the likes of Romantic Warrior and Golden Sixty suggests he is still firing on all cylinders, so look for Helene Feeling to make a bold statement to end the evening. Best Bet Race 9 – #6 Helene Feeling (6) 4yo Gelding | T: Danny Shum | J: James McDonald (56kg) Bet with Bet365 Next Best: Galvanic Tom Marquand has a terrific chance to claim IJC points in the first leg aboard the Caspar Fownes-trained Galvanic. The four-year-old gelding raced in an unattractive manner at this course last start on November 15, being chased up outside the leader before fading into a mid-field finish. He is much better when ridden with cover, and with Galvanic stepping back to the 1000m for the first time, this guy can utilise his sharp sprint to break his maiden status. Next Best Race 4 – #4 Galvanic (3) 4yo Gelding | T: Caspar Fownes | J: Tom Marquand (59.5kg) Bet with Ladbrokes Best Value: Flagship Warrior Flagship Warrior hasn’t won since his Hong Kong racing debut in December 2022, but he doesn’t look far off recapturing that level. He won on a rating of 77 on that occasion and gets back to a similar number for this Class 3 affair, having powered home in his last start at Sha Tin behind Drombeg Banner on November 5. He gets to Happy Valley for the first time, and provided he can hold a prominent position from barrier five, Flagship Warrior should appreciate the tight-turning city circuit. Best Value Race 7 – #2 Flagship Warrior (5) 5yo Gelding | T: Caspar Fownes | J: James McDonald (59.5kg) Bet with Unibet Happy Valley quaddie tips – 6/12/2023 Hong Kong quadrella selections Wednesday, December 6, 2023 3-4-5-7-8-11 2-3-4-7-10-11 1-5-9-11-12 1-6-7 More horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
