| What | Happy Valley Races |
| Where | Happy Valley Racecourse – Wong Nai Chung Rd, Happy Valley, Hong Kong |
| When | Sunday, October 29, 2023 |
| First Race | 12:45pm HKT (3:45pm AEDT) |
Hong Kong racing heads to Happy Valley Racecourse on Sunday afternoon for a rare twilight meeting held at the city circuit. The rail moves out to the C position for the entire circuit, and with no rain predicted for race-day, the surface should be a genuine Good 4. The first of 10 races is scheduled to get underway at 12:45pm local time (3:45pm AEDT).
Best Bet: Golden Bull
Golden Bull is winless in his 11 Hong Kong starts, although the five-year-old has six minor placings to his name. He is third-up into the campaign after a terrific effort at Sha Tin on October 1, chasing home a smart type in the form of Karma. He drew gate 13 and had no choice but to drag back towards the rear, closing strongly over 1400m. The 1650m at Happy Valley looks ideal as Golden Bull tackles the city circuit for the first time.
Best Bet
Race 5 – 
#5 Golden Bull (4)
5yo Gelding | T: Danny Shum | J: Matthew Chadwick (58kg)
Next Best: Tomodachi Kokoroe
Tomodachi Kokoroe gets his first class drop at start number eight in Hong Kong, finding an ideal setup to jag his first win since arriving from Australia. He has been racing consistently in Class 3 company and showed plenty in his latest effort at this course and distance, beaten 1.6 lengths by Lucky Archangel. The son of Written Tycoon gets his most manageable task to date, and with Zac Purton taking the reins, Tomodachi Kokoroe can get his first win for the David Hayes barn.

Race 6 – 
#1 Tomodachi Kokoroe (1)
5yo Gelding | T: David Hayes | J: Zac Purton (61kg)
Best Value: Big Red
Big Red has found the frame twice in three starts this preparation, and although he’s yet to pick up a win for Michael Chang, there has been a lot to like. He powered to the line on October 15 in his latest start, going down by 3.3 lengths to Taj Dragon. Keagan De Melo is finding his stride in Hong Kong with four winners across three meetings, and with barrier one to boost his chances aboard Big Red, he looks a good chance to add to his tally.
Best Value
Race 10 – 
#8 Big Red (1)
5yo Gelding | T: Michael Chang | J: Keagan De Melo (54kg)
