09/06/21 Tips for Hong Kong Racing

This Wednesday’s race meeting at Happy Valley will be held on the “B” course, with 9 events scheduled for the evening.

The track is expected to be in the good range, with fine weather forecast.

Joao Moreira has 9 rides tonight along with Matthew Poon. Poon has been in red hot form recently, riding a winner in three consecutive meetings, so punters should keep an eye on the “Poon Train”.

Caspar Fownes trained another 3 winners last week and has extended his lead in the trainer premiership. He sends some quality gallopers around tonight, including Ice Legend and The Crown.

 

 

Horse Racing Tips from Charene Woo

Happy Valley Race 5 Tip #6 Heart Conquered $8.00

This 5YO recently reached his lowest rating of 67 in Hong Kong, but can bounce back tonight.

Last time out, his performance over this course and distance was eye catching.

Despite showing great speed from the gate, jockey Tony Piccone did not push on to lead with Dancing Fighter and Harmony N Blessed heading to the front.

Heart Conquered box-seated, but was no match for the winner and ran fourth behind winner Dancing Fighter, who recorded a new track record.

There is no nominated leader ins this race so from gate 7, Heart Conquered can lead and breakthrough for his first Hong Kong victory.

 

Happy Valley Race 6 Tip #3 Savvy Kingman $3.80

This Kingman gelding broke his maiden in Hong Kong under Joao Moreira last time out over 1650m at Happy Valley.

He remains at this track and distance tonight and retains the services of Moreira.

He beat More Than Enough by 1 length in that clash and now faces him again tonight.

Savvy Kingman is a likely leader from gate 1, which looks like the ideal draw.

More Than Enough will have to carry 5 pounds more, which will make it difficult for him to turn the tables on Savvy Kingman.

The pace in the race is expected to be slow, so Savvy Kingman should get a cosy lead and have every chance to make it back-to-back wins.
