Hong Kong racing returns to the bright lights of Happy Valley Racecourse on Wednesday evening, with a massive nine-race program set for decision. The rail is moved to the A position for the meeting, which should allow every runner to get their chance throughout proceedings. The first race is scheduled to get underway at 6:40pm local time, and although there’s no rain forecast until after the last, we expect the humid conditions to be testing for all participants.

Best Bet at Happy Valley: Beauty Waves

Beauty Waves has had four starts in Hong Kong for three minor placings, with the latest coming at this course and distance on January 4. He sat on the back of the speed on that occasion and was forced to lead up the remainder of the field, allowing Bons A Pearla to savage the line late and beat him by 0.3 lengths on the wire. It was a pass-mark for the son of Starspangledbanner in his first trip to Happy Valley, and with Zac Purton taking the reins from gate three, it leaves plenty of options for Beauty Waves as he searches for that illusive Hong Kong win.

Next Best at Happy Valley: Gallant Valour

Gallant Valour was unfortunate to miss out on back-to-back wins at his most recent start on January 10, as the three-year-old got crowded for room at a crucial stage. Lyrical Motion got the favours along the inside running rail, and as Gallant Valour looked to get clear running, he couldn’t quite show his electric turn-of-foot as he loomed towards the middle of the course. He gains the services of Zac Purton combining with the Jamie Richards barn, and provided he can get a mid-field sit with some cover, Gallant Valour should be in the finish once again.

Next Best Again at Happy Valley: Simply Maverick

Simply Maverick will be looking to record his third win of the campaign as he makes his first attempt in Class 3 company. He was sensational when winning his latest start at this track and distance on January 10, proving far too good for his rivals in that grade, scoring by two lengths. This is clearly his toughest test to date as the son of Sebring begins his rise through the grades, but based on what we’ve seen, Simply Maverick looks capable of continuing his winning ways.
