Happy Valley R8 11. Zone D
2u at $3.9 (Best Bet)
In top order this prep after racing well constantly last prep. He finished 3rd 0.3L first-up over 1650m absolutely powering through the line. He then recorded an improved rating second-up, when wide, here over the same trip finishing 2nd 0.8L carrying 60.5kg. He then turned in an ok performance over 1400m at Sha Tin, forgive. Back to his ideal track/trip should bring his best. Top jockey/trainer combo
Happy Valley R1 3. Wonder Win

Hit the line well first up over 1650m recording a solid rating. Raced well over this trip last prep but in better order here. Should improve off those ratings. Enjoys being a bit fresh. Early speed gives him choices from barrier 9.
Happy Valley R5 3. Hercules

Blinkers back on 2 back, finished 2nd 0.1L over 1200m running very good time behind an ok speed. Last start finished 6th 1L running ok time behind a slow speed hitting the line well. Both runs this class similar weight. Good speed on paper here coming across from some wide draws. Going well, can run good time and this sets up well to get his best.
