Happy Valley (M40) - Wednesday, 23 January 2019
22:50 HK TIME
summary
There seems like there is a decent win bet in the last here with FEARLESS FIRE, who steps up to the mile for the first time. The English import has been competitive over 2000m in his country of origin and now that he has hit form, he looks one to follow up to the Valley 1650m. He needs to raise the bar a touch, but looks capable of doing so as long as the tempo of the race is genuine – which I expect it to be. RACING LUCK was well-named with his win last time, but his ability to take the gaps when they appeared was noteworthy and he is clearly thriving at the moment. BANK ON RED has come up very short in early betting, he had excuses two starts ago and last time didn’t get all favours either – he does look a touch over bet though? Bank On Red maps nicely though which is a major positive and it’s hard to imagine Moreira getting outridden three times in a row on a single horse! ARCADA was given a terrible ride last time when fourth to Racing Luck. If he gets any sort of ride here, he has legitimate claims and is a top chance in an intriguing race.
