There’s just a field of nine assembled for this event and it’s a race with not much pace on paper either. However, there might be a good bet here with NEW ELEGANCE who comes through a solid race won by Ho Ho Khan. He was close enough that speed when he last competed and battled well for Zac Purton, who rides again this evening. Providing there aren’t any crazy mid-race moves then he will be very hard to beat. HELENE CHARISMA was desperately unlucky when he last competed at Happy Valley, but his run prior at Sha Tin proved he has a bit to find against New Elegance. TOP LAURELS is a genuine chance to figure in the finish and he should be near his peak now third-up. He too might be worth a play too if Helene Charisma continues to dominate the betting following his luckless run.
