Happy Valley Racing Tips: Wednesday February 7th
4YO series kicked off in style over the weekend and here we are back at Happy Valley for the midweek meeting. Neat little card here and a few runners I have my eye on throughout it. Here they are.
Race 1: Shan Kwong Road Park Hcp (C5) - 1650m (20:40 AEST)
(6) Regency Happy Star has had excuses his past few runs, gets Zac Purton aboard, draws gate 3 and is ready to win. Expecting him to be mightily hard to beat in this event.
(1) Stormtrouper is also well-placed here down in class and drawn barrier 1. His record is nothing to get excited about though and he’s hard to trust for that reason.
(7) United Endeavours has also been running ok of late and shouldn’t be ignored here. Can find a handy position.
6) Regency Happy Star win
$3.50 (2 units)
Race 2: Fa Hui Park Hcp (C4) - 2200m (21:10 AEST)
(11) Happy Hero is up in grade here which might make this tough but i’m willing to take the punt at e/w odds considering how well he handled 2200m last time with 7kg more to carry. The weight relief will make the biggest difference over this staying trip.
(2) Wonder Years has to go in here given his record over this trip. 3 wins is phenomenal for a horse who isn’t all that progressive. Keep an eye on him.
(7) Jubilation is the leader on the map here and shouldn’t have to fight too hard for it. If he gets a cozy lead he’s a horse who has placed on multiple occasions over this trip and might be due for a win.
(11) Happy Hero e/w
$6.50/$2.25 (1 unit)
Race 6: Kowloon Park Hcp (C4) - 1200m (23:10 AEST)
(3) Party Warrior was held up from gate 1 the start prior to last and should’ve won the race with clear running. He gets a chance to make amends here with even luck and i expect him to do so.
(11) Super Eagle is the serial place-getter. Gate speed and speedmap are what’s holding this horse back and what he may struggle with again especially considering the double figure draw.
(8) See U Again will be up in the firing line and may be the one to take advantage if Party Warrior gets unlucky again.
(3) Party Warrior e/w
$5.50/$2.20 (1 unit)
