It was a very competitive evening of racing at Happy Valley with some big priced winners! Thanks to the people who messaged me with some great results having used my rated prices to bet the “overs” race-by-race. From the fourth through to the last race the winner was discussed in analysis, with the main quaddie returning over $9,000!

For the strategy the two major outlays ran well. Little Bird won in dominant fashion like there was plenty ahead of him. Blitzing unfortunately ran second after doing some work early and getting rolled on the rail late. Frustrating yes, that’s the third time in three meetings where my best has run second… something you probably don’t need reminding about.

That said, I’m happy with how the form is shaping all things considered.

The race tempo of the sixth event developed quite differently to expectation. Planet Star and Sichuan Boss broke 27 seconds for the first section of the race, which lead to running the first half far too quickly. They bottomed-out badly late.

Spring Win and Dollar Reward ran okay, but wide trips weren’t desirable at all. The latter will keep.

The last race had only three lengths covering 11 of the 12 horses with Super Hoppy running below expectation. He was given his chance to run on and was fair. Jade Theatre also appeared to only sprint “evenly” in the straight, although getting two pairs further back than expected.

Hong Kong racing this weekend is on Saturday at Sha Tin!

I’m into the form and it’ll be ready to go for then!
