Tomorrow’s Happy Valley selections

#9 Mr Aladdin backs up quickly from an unsuitable allweather run and is better placed back on turf at Happy Valley.

- 

Race 1 - PEDDER HANDICAP

He’s still a longstanding maiden but is not without a chance. #1 Hakka Radiance finally broke through at start 25 and maps to get a soft run again from the low draw. He remains in Class 5 which keeps him in the numbers. #3 Wah May Wai Wai steps up in trip after an even effort into third as favourite last start. The application of cheekpieces first time may bring the extra spark he needs. #2 Storm Runner was caught wide on the pace first-up but stuck on well for fourth to Hakka Radiance. He’ll strip fitter and a cleaner run gives him claims.

Race 2 - NAM SANG WAI HANDICAP

#12 Atomic Beauty was caught on pace in a strongly run 1800m first-up where all the speed runners faded, so the run was better than it reads. He’ll strip fitter for that, and the drop back in trip along with barrier 1 gives him a chance to control the tempo. #1 Quantum Patch is two from two in the placings in Class 4 and looks well placed to go one better. His tick-over trial between runs was encouraging, suggesting he remains in good order, and he’s trending the right way. #2 Sturdy Ruby was doing his best work late in the same race, closing off well for fourth against the shape, and barrier 2 gives him a chance to settle closer. #11 Smiling Emperor draws to get a soft run and now looks a more mature prospect. He can lift on what he’s shown so far in Class 4.

Race 3 - LI YUEN HANDICAP
