info on hong kong racing track

a good article from this week punter's way....

happy valley is a small track with tight turns, which means that it is best suited to front runners or "on the pace" horses for most of the time. the location of the rail in the c and c+3 positions makes this more pronounced due to the track design. the location of the starting points also affects the bias and this is even more evident with the 1000m and 1200m starting positions, favouring horses drawn close to the inside rails

most dirt and sand based all weather tracks favour front runners, which is more obvious if the race tempo is moderate. when the track is sealed during wet weather, it becomes favourable for front runners.

however, track bias does occur and can even changed during a meeting as the ground changes.

having typed all this, here's something for tonite hk happy valley race,

race one, obvious choice will be d whyte on we're buddies racing 1650m, which is whyte's pet distance, but then again, no value. i'm going for a ft bet with watchman and asia star. both will be the kind of mid value horses i hope.

race two, 1200m, couldnt locate any clear favourite but i do feel that asset play has a strong chance with african forest being the joint favourite at the start.

race three, 1650m. no d whyte, shd be easy. both sweetie and tori top look nice and if everything goes smooth during the run, we shd see these 2 figures in the top 3.

race four, 1800m. a distance i try not to play. too many factors will affect the outcome of the race...

race five, 1000m. a distance for sprinters. heavy bets will be on jolly gains, with napshot in paobridge.

race six, 1650m. read friom the papers, sunrise rainbow seems good enuff to win this race, with northern rose and just victory finishing close on paper. however, i will be going for a place in highland dawn.

race seven, 1650m. d whyte on the hat trick!

race eight and the last race for the day, 1000m. kimbo kid looks strong on paper with arabian wager, helen elegance and manifest. very messy race i predict... better save money and have a sweet dream, ha ha ha
