Happy Valley Tips July 15
Sweet Orange Handicap Tips (Race 4)
Happy Valley Value Bet - Race 4 No. 9 Prestige Ricky
Trainer Ricky Yiu has enjoyed a productive July, striking at 32% heading into Wednesday night's program.
His second of five runners on the card is Prestige Ricky, who is still chasing a Hong Kong breakthrough, although he has produced a string of ratings that put him right in the mix for this open Class 4.
The son of Calyx dropped to this grade earlier in the season and now carries 55.5kg, which is 5.5kg less than his original Class 4 mark.
Two placings have come over the Happy Valley 1650m this season, the latest on June 7 in a race that has produced five subsequent winners, while an irregular heart rate was detected after his February 11 outing before he was spelled.
Prestige Ricky hasn't been able to build on his first-up third at Sha Tin, although there have been race-shape excuses in his last two starts, and he's a double-figure quote here.
Star Shine Handicap Tips (Race 5)
Happy Valley Roughie - Race 5 No. 4 Lucky Bid
There was enough to like about Lucky Bid's Sha Tin debut despite finishing sixth after striking interference at the start.
Beaten only three lengths on April 12, that race has since produced two subsequent winners.
His May 9 performance is easier to forgive after covering ground throughout before tiring late.
Time has been given ahead of Wednesday night's return, while his June trials have been encouraging, with the youngster working strongly through the line over 1200m.
Pejibaye deserves favouritism on peak ratings, although he did fail last start, and Lucky Bid has found a Class 4 that's there for the taking, with the three-year-old sneaking under the radar in the early markets.
Encountered Handicap Tips (Race 7)
Happy Valley Best Bet - Race 7 No. 10 Somelovefromabove
The Joao Moreira and Caspar Fownes combination demands respect after combining for 27 winners this season, including a winning treble at Happy Valley last Wednesday.
They reunite with Somelovefromabove, who has won three times over this course and distance this season, including a back-to-back Class 4 double before a competitive third at his Class 3 debut.
He was given a spell after a tired end-of-preparation effort on May 13, with three trials completed ahead of his return.
While the latest trial looked a little workmanlike, he still worked well through the line behind Self Improvement, a Group 3 winner earlier this season.
Drawn perfectly in barrier one under the "Magic Man", Somelovefromabove looks set to receive every chance first-up.
Sun Jewellery Handicap Tips (Race 9)
Happy Valley Next Best Bet - Race 9 No. 4 Thunder Kit
Although the winning strike rate isn't great, Francis Lui's 13 winners at Happy Valley this season have returned a positive ROI for punters.
Thunder Kit was a stylish soft-track winner at Sha Tin on May 17 before disappointing over 1400m.
The drop back in trip suited last time, and he should have finished closer in a fast-run Class 3 won by Mr Incredible, a progressive galloper who has saluted in three of four starts.
Taken back from a wide draw, the son of Rich Enuff was badly held up in the straight before getting through when the race was over, and he should have finished a clear second.
He now finds an easier Class 3 without that talented winner, and while his racing pattern means he needs some luck in transit, the lightly raced four-year-old can produce a strong finish when conditions allow.
