Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 8 Journalists Share Posted April 8 What Happy Valley Races Where Happy Valley Racecourse – Wong Nai Chung Rd, Happy Valley, Hong Kong When Wednesday, April 9, 2025 First Race 6:40pm HKT (8:40pm AEST) Visit Dabble Hong Kong racing returns to Happy Valley on Wednesday evening, with a competitive nine-part program set for decision. The rail is back in the A course, and with no significant rainfall predicted, punters can expect a Good 4 surface for the meeting. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 6:40pm HKT. Best Bet at Happy Valley: Loveisintheair Loveisintheair appears set to peak third-up after two moderate runs at this course and distance. The son of Street Boss has been forced back from barriers seven and eight in both starts, holding ground to suggest he’s closing in on a win. Hugh Bowman needs to utilise barrier two in an attempt to slot into the one-one, and in a race that appears to have limited chances, Loveisintheair has the upside to take care of this lot. Best Bet Race 2 – #4 Loveisintheair (2) 3yo Gelding | T: John Size | J: Hugh Bowman (58kg) Next Best at Happy Valley: Casa Rochester Casa Rochester had no luck at this track and trip on March 19, sucking the air three wide without cover throughout the journey. The Redwood gelding was game in defeat, however, sticking on to finish within 2.5 lengths of Sunday’s Serenade, who got the saloon passage along the inside. Casa Rochester appears poised to turn the tables on some key challengers coming through that form line, and provided Hugh Bowman can slot in for cover, this guy must be considered the one to beat. Next Best Race 7 – #3 Casa Rochester (8) 4yo Gelding | T: Mark Newnham | J: Hugh Bowman (60kg) Best Value at Happy Valley: Casa Of Honor Formerly known as Perennial in Australia, Casa Of Honor looks primed to strike on his Hong Kong debut. He looked great in back-to-back trial wins leading into this and has always given the impression of a horse with above-average ability, claiming five wins and two minor placings across his eight starts before moving to the Michael Chang barn. Expect Matthew Poon to slide across from the widest gate (10), and if this guy has any luck, Casa Of Honor will give a bold sight at an each-way price with horse racing bookmakers. Best Value Race 5 – #5 Casa Of Honor (10) 4yo Gelding | T: Michael Chang | J: Matthew Poon (57kg) Wednesday quaddie tips for Happy Valley Happy Valley quadrella selections April 9, 2025 1-3-6-9 1-3-4-5-8 1-2-9-10 3-4-5-7-8 Horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
