Hong Kong form expert Luke Middlebrook provides his thoughts on every race at the Hong Kong meeting at Happy Valley on Wednesday, 25 June.
Winning Heart (#2) draws barrier 4 after two runs from gate 12 and that gives his chances a clear boost. He’s well placed to pick up another win.
Selections: 2-7-1-12
My Day My Way (#5) has had no luck with barriers, so gate 8 is a small win. He’s gone down a head in back-to-back runs and looks ready to go one better.
Selections: 5-4-7-6
Fun Elite (#1) drops back into Class 4 and that alone makes him hard to ignore. He has the speed to push forward and from there can make his own luck.
Selections: 1-7-4-10
Galaxy Witness (#1) is three years between wins but has found form again since dropping back to Class 4. He’s hit the line well in two runs over 1200m and the rise in trip looks key to breaking through.
Selections: 1-4-3-5
Seasons Wit (#2) got all the favours from barrier 1 last start and put them to good use, winning with authority. He’s trialled well since and from the same draw again, he gets every chance to repeat.
Selections: 2-4-9-1
Never Too Soon (#2) draws a big upgrade into gate 1 after jumping from 12 last time. He’s well rated in Class 4 and comes right into the mix.
Selections: 2-3-6-8
Wrote A New Page (#3) is a three-year-old on the rise. He put it all together last start to shed his maiden tag, doing it well at his first look over this course and trip.
Selections: 3-7-2-5
0 (#8) tried this course and distance for the first time last start, went back from a wide gate and found the line well. Drawn better now, he should settle closer in the run and looks the one to beat.
Selections: 8-1-3-5
Storm Rider (#1) returned to winning form last start with blinkers on for the first time, surging clear by over three lengths from barrier 2. He draws gate 1 this time and lands in a similar race set-up. He can go on with it.
Selections: 1-3-7-4
