Happy Valley racing tips & HK quaddie | Wednesday, November 30
| What | Happy Valley Races |
| Where | Happy Valley Racecourse – Wong Nai Chung Rd, Happy Valley, Hong Kong |
| When | Wednesday, November 30, 2022 |
| First Race | 7:15pm HKT (10:15pm AEDT) |
Hong Kong racing continues at Happy Valley on Wednesday night with an eight-race program scheduled to take place under lights. Zac Purton looks to bounce from his five-timer at Sha Tin with another excellent book of rides, although it does look a very competitive card compared to his comprehensive book on Sunday.
We’re racing on the C+3 on Wednesday, which traditionally means you should be looking to favour on-speed horses throughout the card; however, in some races you may find they burn themselves early on, which can bring some backmarkers into play. The first race is scheduled to get underway at 7:15pm HKT (10:15pm AEDT).
Best Bet: Rattan Kingdom
Rattan Kingdom will be looking to finally break his maiden status in this 1200m contest to open the Happy Valley quaddie. He comes here third-up for the newly appointed Hong Kong trainer Jamie Richards and looks to be prepared perfectly to strike with Zac Purton aboard yet again. He was on Rattan Kingdom last start at Happy Valley on November 9 and was beaten by the barrier when getting too far back against Island Sunshine. He just couldn’t get the economical run from barrier 11 that time, but with barrier four on Wednesday night we should see this gelding by Per Incanto find a prominent spot with Purton kicking up to find the one-by-one. If he does lob in that spot, he looks very hard to beat with plenty of tempo in this race with the likes of Starry Night, Multimore and Loriz all likely to be kicking up on the outside.
Best Bet
Race 5 – 
#9 Rattan Kingdom (4)
5yo Gelding | T: Jamie Richards | J: Zac Purton (55.5kg)
Next Best: Comet Splendido
We’re happy to wait for the last race of the card for our next best of the evening with the ever-consistent Comet Splendido. He’s looking for his second win of the campaign but is yet to miss the frame with three minor placings to his name, after another credible effort last start over the 1650m on November 16 when beaten just less than a length to Winning Dragon. His win prior to that was strong as well, getting back well out of his ground before powering to the line to score on October 12. His last start was an indicator he’s ready to step back up to the 1800m, and with the booking of gun apprentice Angus Chung and a very welcome 4.5kg claim, he looks perfectly weighted in this field. From barrier one, Chung has plenty of options and could even elect to lead if they go slow enough. Provided they crawl early, he could give them something to chase.
Next Best
Race 8 – 
#5 Comet Splendido (1)
4yo Gelding | T: Danny Shum | J: Angus Chung (59kg)
Best Value: California Deeply
It’s time to find a horse that doesn’t want to lead. It’ll be a charge for the front in the sixth with Super Axiom, Super Commander, Magic Phoenix and many more looking to lamplight, so it only makes sense to find one that should be set-up to take out some tiring horses. California Deeply should be that horse after a terrific effort first-up against race rival and likely favourite Heroic Master on November 9. He was last turning for home and motored to the line under retained jockey Matthew Chadwick on that occasion, and with some luck from barrier 11 he’ll be looking to do something similar over the 1000m here. Normally, the gate would be a dealbreaker, but with Heroic Master and Zac Purton drawn inside, we’ll hope Chadwick can just get on the back of the race favourite, find some cover and be powering over the top of them all late. We should be getting a good price with online bookmakers on his pattern, so he looks a cracking each-way play.
Best Value
Race 6 – 
#10 California Deeply (11)
3yo Gelding | T: Tony Cruz | J: Matthew Chadwick (54kg)
