Race 1: Peng Chau Handicap

7 Loyal Ambition is yet to win but he has gone close a few times. He pairs favourably with Hugh Bowman here and the inside draw should afford him the run of the race. #1 Ai One can dictate the pace from gate one. He’ll look the winner at some stage. #12 Cable Speed slots in light. He’s been consistent across 19 starts without winning and these efforts will soon be rewarded. #5 Owners’ Star is closing in on another win. It depends on how much ground he gives up during the race. Keep safe.

Race 2: Ma Wan Handicap

3 General Ace has shown ability across six starts in Hong Kong. He’s tumbled down to a suitable rating and this grade should spark improvement. #2 Inspiring City was enormous from the tail of the field last start. He nearly wins that day had he taken closer order. Chances are he isn’t caught as far back this time around. #8 Raging Blaze seems to have turned a corner since his first win two runs back. He’s found his groove. #4 M M Johnny is consistent and will be thereabouts again. Keep safe.

Race 3: Lamma Island Handicap (2nd Section)

10 All Is Good gets a favourable draw and another excellent chance to grab an overdue first win. He should find the rail which should see him prove tough to beat under a light weight. #3 Travel Golf had plenty more to offer last start. He can take another step forward here. #8 E Rainbow does little wrong and he’s shown his capabilities of late. #5 Happy United was sound on debut. He looks to have a touch more ability and should be able to showcase that here.

Race 4: Green Island Handicap (2nd Section)

1 Yeaboi can continue to improve in this grade. The step up in trip looks ideal for him and he looks to have a fair bit more in the tank than what we’ve seen across his short career so far in Hong Kong. #4 Killer Instinct mixes his form but does have a touch of class at times. He gets an ideal draw for Hugh Bowman. #10 Classic Archi caught the eye at the rear of the field last start. He finished off well that day and looks close to putting it all together now. #2 Let’s Do It is very well suited to Class 4 racing. Keep safe.

Race 5: The Ireland Trophy Handicap

It wouldn’t surprise to see #9 Handsome Rebel find from the front as he has done previously. He does his best racing close to or on the speed and the inside gate this time should allow him to take up a forward position. #7 G One Excellent is in career-best form following a pair of wins. He can continue to his upward trend and he should be in the mix once more. #10 Diamond Soars looks capable of making the step up to Class 4. Zac Purton’s booking catches the eye. #2 Faribault is next best.

Race 6: Green Island Handicap (1st Section)

8 Happy Won has been consistent this season and he looks set to be rewarded for this. He gets the right draw here and Alexis Badel’s retention is a big positive. #6 Right Honourable doesn’t win out of turn but he has won off a much higher than rating than his current mark of 47. He’s worth an each way ticket at odds. #10 One Heart One is lightly raced but does have ability. He just needs to offset the awkward draw. #1 Holy Power pairs favourably with Zac Purton. Keep safe.

Race 7: Cheng Chau Handicap

2 Howdeepisyourlove is a seriously smart horse. He can continue his upward trajectory here, especially from gate two with Karis Teetan engaged again. This is his race to lose after his smart win last time out. #1 You’remyeverything can mount a strong challenge. He’s in the right vein of form and returning to Class 3 is a big positive. #6 Jumbo Legend rarely runs a bad race. Expect this trend to continue this week. #4 Cobhfield is yet to win but does look a threat from gate one.

Race 8: Lamma Island Handicap (1st Section)

5 Pachisi is a rising talent and he should almost already be a winner. Zac Purton hops up now and with even luck he rates as the one to beat, that is, should his progression continue to trend upward. #8 Island Surprise finished a smart second last start. He’s holding his condition well. #12 Goodmanship returns from a lengthy stint away from racing. He’s shown ability and perhaps under no weight he can challenge this group. It wouldn’t surprise to see him outperform his odds. #3 Racing Fighter has claims.

Race 9: Ap Lei Chau Handicap

3 Amazing One Plus should find the right run along the rail from gate one. That’s exactly where he needs to be to save ground, which should see him prove tough to beat. #2 Nimble Nimbus was an impressive winner last start and there’s no reason to suggest why he can’t continue with that level of form here. #9 Silver Hammer is beginning to find his feet and further improvement is expected. He’ll get a few favours from the draw. #12 Beauty Turn is lightly raced and can improve. Keep safe.
