| What | Happy Valley Races |
| Where | Happy Valley Racecourse – Wong Nai Chung Rd, Happy Valley, Hong Kong |
| When | Wednesday, April 10, 2024 |
| First Race | 6:40pm HKT (8:40pm AEST) |
Hong Kong racing returns to the bright lights of Happy Valley on Wednesday evening for a bumper nine-race program. The rail moves to the B position for the entire circuit, and with perfect weather forecast in the lead-up, punters can expect a pristine Good 4 surface. The opening race is set to commence at 6:40pm local time.
Best Bet: Copartner Prance
Copartner Prance was impressive when breaking his maiden at this course and distance on March 13. While he cops a 2.5kg weight penalty for his 1.3-length win, the Francis Lui-trained gelding appeared to have plenty in hand as he cruised through the wire under Zac Purton. Watch for Copartner Prance to head forward from stall six, and provided he can handle top weight, this progressive four-year-old simply looks too good for Class 4 company.
Best Bet
Race 4 – 
#1 Copartner Prance (6)
4yo Gelding | T: Francis Lui | J: Zac Purton (61kg)
Next Best: Devas Twelve
Devas Twelve heads to Happy Valley for the first time after producing three strong outings at Sha Tin for a win and two minor placings. His most recent effort was a luckless performance over 1800m where he was crowded for room at a crucial stage in the home straight. Zac Purton will give the son of Headwater every chance from gate four, and if he can handle the tight-turning Happy Valley circuit, Devas Twelve must be considered the one to beat.
Next Best
Race 5 – 
#5 Devas Twelve (4)
4yo Gelding | T: Chris So | J: Zac Purton (58kg)
Best Value: King Oberon
While the Jimmy Ting-trained King Oberon is on the verge of a class drop, punters should be willing to give him an each-way chance based on his effort two starts back at Sha Tin on March 3. Beaten 2.5 lengths by Oriental Smoke, he whacked away gallantly in a race that was dominated by on-speed runners. He gets his best chance to figure from barrier three, and with online bookmakers likely to give followers a big price, King Oberon is worth a speck.
Best Value
Race 2 – 
#9 King Oberon (3)
4yo Gelding | T: Jimmy Ting | J: Andrea Atzeni (54.5kg)
