Happy Valley will run a nine-race program on April 30 and Wednesday's preview can be found below.

Here are our free Hong Kong racing tips for Happy Valley today.

Happy Valley Tips on April 30th

Seoul Handicap Tips (Race 3)

Happy Valley Best Bet - Race 3 No. 8 Colourful King

He landed the cash for us last start via an impressive two-length victory on April 9 and Colourful King is unbeaten from two attempts over this track/trip.

Although he's up in grade to Class 2 company, his last start figure is the best in this field and that number also rates favourably vs peak runs of his rivals.

For the rise in grade, Colourful King carries 3.5kg less from his last performance and staying at five furlongs for now isn't a negative.

There's still plenty upside with this three-year-old, who was a dual winner in Australia before being sold and he's well placed to record a hat-trick.

Yeongcheon Handicap Tips (Race 6)

Happy Valley Value Bet - Race 6 No. 4 Run Run Smart

It's been a profitable month for Frankie Lor supporters, with the champion trainer recording seven winners in April at a strike-rate of 16% (101% ROI).

Frankie Lor prepares Run Run Smart, a colt who showed promise when finishing third via his second Hong Kong outing at Sha Tin on January 1.

The son of Dandy Man wasn't able to build on that 1200m placing and he switched to Happy Valley after two disappointing efforts at Sha Tin.

His late work has been sound in both attempts on this circuit and with the drop back to Class 4 level in his favour, he has each-way claims this evening.

Jeju Handicap Tips (Race 8)

Happy Valley Next Best Bet - Race 8 No. 5 Definitive

This David Eustace-trained galloper is in good touch, with a victory over this track/trip on January 15 and he's held form in three subsequent outings.

2000m at Sha Tin just saw him out two starts back and a return to the Happy Valley 1650m saw Definitive record a brave second-place finish on April 2.

In a race setup for the swoopers, that last start effort was terrific, as the two other rivals who engaged in the early speed battle dropped right out.

There doesn't appear to be as much depth to this Class 3 lineup and with a softer tempo predicted up front, Definitive gets every chance to atone.

Busan Handicap Tips (Race 9)

Happy Valley Roughie - Race 9 No. 7 Star Satyr

Tony Cruz prepares Star Satyr, a youngster who saluted at start one in Australia and there was merit to his Hong Kong debut tilt on April 13.

The three-year-old was never in winning contention after settling a long way back over 1000m, but he did make late inroads in the inferior going.

Star Satyr was chasing early and as a result, he failed to take a position in that five-furlong event, but he should find some rhythm over this longer trip.

He showed enough in three trials leading into his April 13 attempt, which includes a look around Happy Valley in March (tired late after a wide run).
