Hong Kong Plays 2020-21

Race 1 - 6,7,9 quinella (can't play exactas on TS)
I'm liking the 9 for the win, Bedel has ridden Flying Monkey well the past two races and perhaps the couple of pounds makes the difference here.

$7.20 per $3 on the quinella
#9 paid $3.8- to show, so basically a punt on the WS bet.

Rare weekend meeting at Happy Valley. Haven't had time to look at the whole card in advance...

Race 2:
#2 Magnetism won his last two races in this class, both last year. 30-1 looks too high.

#6 Thunder Stomp should get a much more economical run from post 2.

Race 3:
#5 My Ecstatic has been trialling well---the runner-up from his latest trial won impressively on debut himself last week. Just needs to work out a trip from post 9.

Race 4:
#2 Momentum Galaxy caused an upset earlier in the season when a selection in this thread and can do it again here with a better trip than he got last time.

No time for post-big day hangover…

Race 1:
#7 Victorious Seeker came into form at the end of last season in C5. Wasn’t disgraced when getting a tough trip back in C4 and had no chance last time off the dawdling pace. Second off the layoff here.

No speed on paper here and although #5 Pretty Cute is drawn wide, he has shown speed in his trials and Borges has shown himself to be more than capable of stealing races at HV. Didn’t run that poorly last out anyways, getting shuffled at the crucial point in the race.

Race 4:
#6 Ever Force: Has trialled well, showing speed. A little put off by his stop-start work pattern, but this isn’t the strongest race and the price is decent.

Race 6:
#7 Farshad: Third off the layoff here and back to a more suitable distance---he’s 5/9 in the money over this course and distance compared to 1/15 in the money in other conditions.

Race 7:
Race full of speed…#3 Saul’s Special can get the perfect trip from the inside gate with the red hot apprentice aboard.
