Race 1 - Sweet Diamond (13:1)
Race 4 - Dragon Star (12:1)- never been 1800M and other speed in the race; but breaks inside and gets Purton - angle last race Pakistan Friend (18:1) - out of form for quite a while but looked alive beating some bottom feeders in a recent trial - now or never Turtle Again (9:1) - good races at the distance and gets the rail - no room last out. Chadwick is a huge negative but should be able to get a very nice trip.
Race 5 - Celestial Colours (5:1)- very tough race but HUGE trial, where he dusted Stoltz and a few other decent horses. Won 2 back but not crazy about the shape or Bowman. Depends on the odds.
Race 7 - Brave Star (5:1) - won 2 recent trials - some nice races - but Hewitson is the reason this horse doesn't have a couple more wins - though Lui and Hewitson are a very strong combo. Beauty Infinity (3:1) - always tries - Purton
Race 8 - Excel Wongchoy (14:1)- last at Sha Tin better than it looks - class drop - Ng

Looked like another brutal ass kicking at Happy Valley.
Sorry for the redboard. Got out, big time, in the 9th. $17 winner and $88 dollar exacta with the favorite.
Zoom Boom had a nice chart but got a garden rail run last time out. Though he exploded once he got clear late. Don't think much of Whyte as a trainer, as he's much too inconsistent. Went from the rail to the 9 hole today; 3 wide around the track with no cover; and won eased up.
Make sense of that shit. Good example of what it takes to cash at Happy Valley.
