Race 1: TVB Charity Fund Handicap

2 Seatosky can continue to improve in Class 5. He’s racing well and the inside draw should afford him his chance close to the speed. #1 Circuit Spiritanto gets a handy 10lb taken off with the apprentice up. He does his best racing in this grade and it wouldn’t surprise to see him bounce into form here. #8 Apex Top has been racing off a winnable mark for a while. The wide draw is a slight hindrance. #5 Smart Folks is chasing back-to-back wins. Expect him to make another impact.

Race 2: TVB Tung Wah Celebrity Show Handicap

7 Winning Steps is chanced with getting the dream run throughout from gate one. He has the ability and with luck could prove difficult to beat. #2 Robot Warrior will need to overcome the widest of 14 draws. He’s closing in on a win and his recent form has been inconsistent but sound. #1 Lucky Diamond is expected to lead. He’s a tough on-pacer who at times is challenging to overhaul. #12 Management Folks was an impressive winner two starts ago. Expect he’s holding his condition.

Race 3: TVB Yan Oi Tong Charity Show Handicap

5 Turin Redsun returns for his first run since last November. He’s done well in his recent workouts and the light weight looks favourable for his return. #1 Beauty Joy reunites with Zac Purton. He’s clearly the best on paper with his rating, however, the hefty impost may be a challenge. #3 Healthy Happy can roll forward and get every chance as always. #6 The Golden Scenery is nothing short of consistent and that should be rewarded once more with Karis Teetan up.

Race 4: TVB Yan Chai Charity Show Handicap

4 Summit Cheers is on a one week back-up. He was brave in defeat last time out on the dirt and that tune-up may well have sharpened him up for this one. Hugh Bowman hops aboard which catches the eye for trainer David Hall. #3 Innoconstruction is looking to snap consecutive runner-up efforts. He’s in the right vein of form to suggest a win is nearing. #2 Flying High loves the course and distance. He’ll be right there once more. #9 Huge Win is an improving type. Strong booking of Karis Teetan is worth respecting.

Race 5: TVB Po Leung Kuk Gala Spectacular Handicap

5 Darci Joy did well for second last time. He can improve once more following that effort and he’s regularly a major player over this course and distance. #1 Ching is chasing back-to-back wins. He impressed for his first win last start and it wouldn’t surprise to see him rack another up here. #6 Flying Mojito is looking to snap a frustrating run of placings. Zac Purton is sticking aboard which suits. #2 Looking Cool has the class, enough to suggest that he can improve sharply with a dip in grade.

Race 6: TVB Tung Wah Charity Show Handicap

5 Green N White was kept under a strong hold in his latest trial at Happy Valley. He appears forward enough to figure prominently on debut, especially with Silvestre de Sousa up. #3 Prince Of Porty is chasing back-to-back wins. He was tough as on debut but this contests looks even more challenging. He has the scope to improve though. #6 Moduleconstruction can improve following his debut effort. #11 Trust Me has the form on the board. He can contend.

Race 7: TVB Pok Oi Charity Show Handicap

9 Metro Warrior slots in light and does do his best racing over this course and distance. The booking of Silvestre de Sousa is ideal and he should be rock-hard fit with the amount of racing he’s done this campaign. #5 Trillion Win has returned to form. He can perform down the straight here as a winner over it previously. #1 Ima Single Man gets 10lb off his back with Angus Chung’s booking. #2 Whizz Kid is a serious speedster on his day. Expect he charges forward and plays catch me if you can.

Race 8: TVB Cup Handicap

5 Celestial Power is better than his record suggests. He’s been consistent this term without winning, however, he only needs a few favours to get him over the line in first position which he should get from gate five. #2 Butterfield has class and is capable of winning again. Zac Purton’s booking catches the eye following the pair’s sound effort at the trials. #1 Running Glory is a talent and Hugh Bowman’s booking is worth consideration alone. #6 Five G Patch is on the swift improve. Keep safe.

Race 9: TVB Wai Yin Association Special Handicap

2 Wings Of War will make his Hong Kong debut this weekend. He may need a bit more time but his recent efforts at the trials have caught the eye. He’s a Group 2 winner from Great Britain who has the class to be winning here. #1 Brilliant Way can reverse his form. He’s always a threat over this course and distance. #8 Magniac is a talent and he should have taken plenty of improvement from that first-up effort. Zac Purton’s booking looks ideal. #4 Goko Win continues to advance. Keep safe.

Race 10: TVB Midlife, Sing & Shine Handicap

3 Amazing Victory is already a three-time winner this season. Karis Teetan reunites with him here and if the duo can overcome the wide draw then they are the ones to beat. #9 Secret Vision is consistent and he’s been knocking on the door for another win for a while now. Jerry Chau and Danny Shum have been in superb form of late. #2 Sinba was a tidy winner two runs back. He gets his chance again. #4 Atullibigeal warrants respect with Hugh Bowman aboard again.
