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

Happy Valley Tips on November 20th


Yuen Long Handicap Tips (Race 2)


Happy Valley Value Bet - Race 2 No. 5 Double Win

He's pulled up with issues post-race in his heavier Hong Kong defeats, which includes his first-up effort in September over this track/trip when blood was present in the trachea.

Double Win should've finished a touch closer after that fresh failure, where he was fourth-of-fourteen over the Sha Tin 1400m despite being held-up at key stages in the home straight.

Two subsequent winners have come from that October 13 event and while the gelding was well held third-up, he was entitled to tire late in that last outing (covered ground).

Double Win also raced wide when narrowly beaten over this track/trip via his July 4 appearance before a spell and three winners have come from that Class 4 event.

Kwu Tung Handicap Tips (Race 4)


Happy Valley Next Best Bet - Race 4 No. 11 Courier Magic

Now from a low draw and with shorter starting quotes from his second and third-up outings, Courier Magic wouldn't be an each-way quote this evening has Zac Purton stayed on.

The son of Savabeel now has the services of Ben Thompson, with the young Australian hoop having been aboard for the back-to-back victories recorded in March (both over this track/trip).

After a solid return effort in a stronger Class 4 than he finds this evening, Courier Magic hasn't had much luck via his last two attempts and he's trialled well since the latest showing.

A five-year-old who is still lightly raced, the Jamie Richards-trained galloper can produce a big finish when right and with a few more favours in transit here, he's capable of atoning.

San Tin Handicap Tips (Race 6)


Happy Valley Best Bet - Race 6 No. 4 Yee Cheong Spirit

Although he was held-up and then taken inwards by the eventual winner, Yee Cheong Spirit still had his chance last time out if good enough, but it was only his four career start.

The lightly raced five-year-old has been a work in progress for connections and while he was unlucky in three prior appearances, perhaps he's better ridden quiet off a hot tempo?

This appears no harder to the recent races that he's contested and of the exposed horses who are lining up in this 1200m Class 4, Yee Cheong Spirit is the most progressive of them.

The Romantic Warrior connection is in full effect here, with champion jockey James McDonald riding for trainer Danny Shum and with a good speed predicted up front, this is close to D-Day.

Hung Shui Kiu Handicap Tips (Race 7)


Happy Valley Roughie - Race 7 No. 6 Romantic Laos

He's been an honest campaigner over the journey and after joining the Cody Mo stable ahead of last season, Romantic Laos recorded two wins in this grade (both over this track/trip).

The six-year-old was disappointing first-up this prep and while it was an improved effort last time out when finishing ninth-of-twelve, the jury was still out was on the gelding.

Although he lacked a turn-of-foot when the sprint went on via his third-up appearance, that two-length defeat when balancing up late in the piece suggested he was back on track.

Romantic Laos had barrier eleven last Wednesday and the abandoned back-end of that program could prove a blessing for him, as he jumps from gate two this evening.

Chek Lap Kok Handicap Tips (Race 8)


Happy Valley Feature Bet - Race 8 No. 1 Son Pak Fu

The Tony Cruz-trained galloper was too bad to be true when second-up at Sha Tin, however, he's since won a tick-over trial and the prior return effort was more than encouraging.

A return to Happy Valley suits Son Pak Fu third-up, with all six of his wins being recorded over this track/trip and the last of those was a comfortable triumph in this grade last season.

After the 1.5kg claim from Angus Chung, the gelding gets handy relief at the weights vs some progressive opposition and the apprentice hoop was aboard in the recent trial victory.

This Class 2 feature is more open than the early market suggests and for a track/trip specialist who can chime in late off a fast speed, Son Pak Fu is worth including at double figure odds.
