Racing heads to Happy Valley for a rare Tuesday night meeting. The card is filled with open races and our analyst has picked out a handful of runners he likes throughout the card.
Happy Valley R1 5. Grand Power
Liked the way he won with the blinkers first time. Settled on speed and ran on very well the last 200m. That was 9 weeks between runs. Will be up on speed in a nice spot in a race without much speed.

Happy Valley R2 4. Swats Troopers Wind
Has come back nicely from his spell. Trialled well before winning nicely first-up over this track/trip at $5. Carries an extra 1.5kg maps well here. Has had a nice tick trial.
1u at $5 Topsport [bet-au-1]
Happy Valley R3 2. Bingo Bingo
Hard to catch him but liked his last start. Too far back in a slowly run race but ran some solid late sectionals. Generally, pretty consistent in the ratings and has the ability to take this out. Can win this.
1u at $7.5 Topsport [bet-au-1]
Happy Valley R5 10. Sunny Delight
Last 3 runs over this track/trip for 2 seconds and a third. He hit the line very well on all 3 occasions and may appreciate 4 weeks between runs for this trip. Ratings were all good enough to win this with the right run. Joao retaining the ride is big here jumping from out wide.
2u at $3.8 Topsport [bet-au-1]
Happy Valley R6 5. Sky Forever
Consistent type who generally gets back and runs on well. Has a strong SP profile for this. Like this set-up 6 weeks between runs keeping him a bit fresher. Can win this with the right run. In form jockey big tick.
1u at $6.5 Topsport [bet-au-1]
Happy Valley R7 3. Amazing One Plus
Has been racing well over this track/trip. He has been hitting the line well and should appreciate the freshen and the run he’ll get from barrier 2.
0.75u at $8 Topsport [bet-au-1]
Happy Valley R8 3. Special M
Very speedy customer. Back to 1000m from this soft draw looks a perfect set-up. On times he has the favourite covered. Gets the right run here and is nearly double the price.
