Hong Kong racing is back to Happy Valley tonight with a 9-race card, with a few showers possible as the meeting progresses.
David Hayes is sending some in-form horses to the city circuit, including Snowalot in Race 4 and Lean Hero in Race 5. Both of those runners are course and distance specialists and they can handle a wet track as well.
Our champion jockey Zac Purton will only have 7 mounts this time, but most of them have shown ability on a softer ground before.
Majestic Victory is a 6yo trained by Tony Cruz, who broke his maiden in Hong Kong last season at Sha Tin on a yielding surface.
After that he didn't win again in 16 starts, but his rating dropped slowly because this honest horse always ran close.
He broke from gate 11 in the last 2 starts but still ran well, and gate 5 this time is very ideal for him.
Zac Purton takes the ride for the first time, and the horse galloped well recently showing he is fit enough to win again.
Seasons Wit is another winning hope for Zac Purton tonight. This Capitalist 3yo scored his first Hong Kong win last time impressively.
He jumped well last start and then stayed in the 5th position. He showed immediate acceleration when he was asked to, and he beat Harmony N Blessed and Atomic Energy easily.
This Jamie Richards-trained gelding returns to the track 2 weeks after that clash, and the horse still looks fit and strong in the morning trackworks.
He is lucky to be drawn 1 this time, whist Zac Purton remains on board again giving further confidence they are set to win back-to-back.
