Happy Valley 5/1/24 - couple of months left for the season.
Caught a tweet from Tom Wood, been raining in HKG; no idea how the track will play.
Race 1 -
Modest Gentleman (4.4) - not a previous race setup I usually play
Race 2 -
Excel Wongchoy (21) - only if it takes some money
Race 3 -
Big Two (3.5)- jockey change to Bowman - horse always moves prematurely - maybe this is the time - 3.5 as low as I'll take
Race 5 -
Diamond Flare (6.7) - supposed to wire here
Lyrical Motion (4.1) - no race or trial since 3/6 - 1 hole for rail runner
You'remyeverything (6.5) - faced better @ Sha Tin with some nice races - 12 hole shouldn't hurt - only 3 wins @ track/dist
Race 6 -
Joyful Prosperity - has most impressive race/kick in the field. Trainer is complete clown, however - no consistency whatsoever.
Kasa Papa (4.1)- idiot ride last out. Bowman on - still a maiden
Race 9 -
Armour Eagle (6.2) - against the grain run last out BUT Purton gets up, so half the value; and he never wins for me in these situations.
Kaholo Angel (8.6) - 3w trip last out and rank early - dusted them in the lane under a hand ride. 2 in a row is rare in HKG.
