Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 18 Journalists Share Posted March 18 What Happy Valley Races Where Happy Valley Racecourse – Wong Nai Chung Rd, Happy Valley, Hong Kong When Wednesday, March 20, 2024 First Race 6:40pm HKT (9:40pm AEDT) Visit Dabble Hong Kong racing returns to the bright lights of Happy Valley on Wednesday evening for a bumper nine-race program. The rail is in the C+3 position for the entire circuit, and with only minimal rainfall expected to hit the course in the lead-up, participants should be racing on a genuine Good 4 surface. The action is set to get underway at 6:40pm local time. Best Bet: Gallant Valour Gallant Valour looks ready to find the winners’ enclosure for the second time this campaign. The son of Heroic Valour extended nicely over the 1650m journey last time out, but just had too much to do when asked to circle the field from last. The three-year-old will be put in a much more manageable position from gate three this time, and when asked for the ultimate effort by Zac Purton, watch for Gallant Valour to power over the top of his rivals. Best Bet Race 6 – #3 Gallant Valour (3) 3yo Gelding | T: Jamie Richards | J: Zac Purton (59kg) Bet with Bet365 Next Best: The Khan The Khan was improved second-up at this course and distance on February 21, chasing gamely along the inside rail. He draws gate 12 in this Class 4 event, so it seems likely the son of Acclamation will need to get back in the ruck before unleashing his electric turn-of-foot down the centre of the course under Brenton Avdulla. The Khan may be looking for further as he progresses through his first Hong Kong preparation, but he has the ability to win at this distance before taking on tougher assignments. Next Best Race 5 – #7 The Khan (12) 4yo Gelding | T: Casper Fownes | J: Brenton Avdulla (58kg) Bet with Unibet Best Value: U S S Constitution U S S Constitution is still unplaced heading into his sixth Hong Kong start, but he gets a terrific opportunity to get a win on the board at his second attempt in Class 4 company. He does his best work at Happy Valley, as the son of U S Navy Flag seems to appreciate the tight-turning course. He needs to lug top weight in this event, but with gate four giving Brenton Avdulla plenty of options, U S S Constitution looks ideally placed to pick up a much-deserved victory. Best Value Race 7 – #3 U S S Constitution (4) 4yo Gelding | T: John Size | J: Brenton Avdulla (61kg) Bet with Neds Hong Kong quaddie tips – Wednesday 20/3/2024 Wyong quadrella selections Wednesday, March 20, 2024 3-5-7-8-12 2-3-4-5-6 1-4-5-7-10 3-10-11 Horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
