Race 1: Bonham Handicap

7 Run Run Good has shown he is capable and he could well use the inside gate to his advantage by pushing forward. Expect he does so and he might just prove too good for them here. #2 Quorum ran out of running room late last start. He can improve off that effort and Class 5 is clearly his go. He’s worth supporting also. #9 Medic Elite is doing everything right and gets his chance once more. He’ll give them a head start but watch for him late. #8 London Luckystar should get a sweet run from the draw. He has claims.

Race 2: Bridges Handicap (2nd Section)

4 Spicy Grill is racing well and appears to be taking the right steps towards another win. Pierre Ng is doing very, very well this season and this horse can add to his already impressive tally. #3 Copartner Era should improve sharply with a return to Happy Valley. The added distance will do him a world of good, especially with Vincent Ho up now. #1 Exuberant has claims and knows what to do in this grade. He steps up in distance but his consistency holds him in good stead. #6 Rainbow Light will get every opportunity.

Race 3: Bridges Handicap (1st Section)

6 Royal Pride is unlucky not to already be a winner. He closed well last start, even while being cut off to finish alongside Turquoise Alpha who won last Sunday. He gets his chance but will need to save ground, especially from the draw. #4 Blissful Star knows how to run well without winning. He gets one his better chances this time with gate one. #3 Viva Popcorn returns first-up. He knows what to do and the inside gate favours him. #1 All Joyful knows how to win first-up. The wide gate makes things tricky though.

Race 4: Po Hing Handicap

10 Birdsville looks well placed. He missed last week’s fixture – like a number of these – due to the cancellation. He has the right form behind Jumbo Legend and the outside draw should give him his chance to slip back before finishing off late. #9 Rattan Kingdom did well first-up, narrowly missing by a length. He’ll get his chance here under Zac Purton, however, he just might be under the odds. #6 River Views is racing well and should improve once more. Keep safe. #8 Happy Soul is next best.

Race 5: The Tung Wah Group Of Hospitals Challenge Cup Handicap

Expect #7 Multimore finds the front and from there may prove difficult to get past. He knows what he’s doing out in the lead – twice winning over this course and distance. The inside draw will give him every chance. #6 Yellowfin is without a win but does always do plenty right. Expect the same again from him as he returns to favourable conditions. #1 Awesome Treasure makes a crucial step down to Class 4. This should see him go close. #3 See U Again has consistent on his side. Don’t discount.

Race 6: Po Yee Handicap

5 Intrepid Winner is closing in on a first win. He’s racing well and returned this season in fine fettle with a strong fifth first-up last start. He can power over the top of this group if they set a hot tempo out in front. #1 Champion Dragon should roll forward and is one of a few who will jostle for the lead. He’s tough and has returned in cracking order. #3 Royal Bomb draws favourably and will need to save as much ground as he can to see this one out. He has a touch of class. #4 Tempest Express has claims. He gets his chance.

Race 7: Po Yan Handicap

They’re going to fly along here and #9 Run Run Cool is one who can capitalise on the prospects of a red-hot tempo. He draws sweetly for this which should give him every chance to position up right behind the leading quartet. #5 Whizz Kid draws wide and may be forced to sit out the probable speed duel. This could be in his favour. #4 Classic Unicorn will use gate one to lead. He’s a great chance if he gets left alone but that isn’t looking likely here. #6 Rock Ya Heart has claims. He’s consistent.

Race 8: Seymour Handicap

2 Harmony Fire returns from a lengthy layoff with injury. He’s done well ahead of his first-up run, catching the eye in a recent trial at Happy Valley when he was pushed out to cross in first position. Silvestre de Sousa should get everything out of him. #10 Spontaneous is on the steady improve this season. He’s favoured with a lowly impost. #5 Heroic Master did well to finish third on debut last start. He can take another step forward and deserves respect here. #6 California Deeply will take a bit of catching.

Race 9: Tai Ping Shan Handicap

5 Here Comes Ted looks wound-up and ready to perform first-up. He returns from a lengthy stint at Conghua which appears to have done him a world of good. It wouldn’t surprise to see him take a big step forward here upon resumption. #9 Solar Winds has the closing speed to throw himself in the mix. He can improve once more. #7 Xponential is closing in on another win. He rarely lets his supporters down in contests such as this one. #2 Five Elements has consistency on his side. Keep safe.
