The track is in perfect order for Happy Valley’s biggest night of the year, The LONGINES International Jockey’s Championship. Tonight we will see some of the best riders from around the world at the Valley and I think last years winner, Hugh Bowman (Aus) is going to be very hard to beat again this year. If you are looking for some value in the Challenge, than I am happy to go with the Brazillian “Whiz kid” Leandro Henrique. He has some nice chances that have drawn well and I think this 18yo apprentice is a star in the making.

Super Form (Race 8, No. 9)

This 5yo gelding should be very fit now that he has had three runs back from a spell. His last start effort was very good and he should get every chance tonight, from the good barrier.

 

Rickfield (Race 9, No. 12)

Got back and ran on very well in a quality field at Sha Tin, last start. This animal will really appreciate having a very light weight on his back and the stable should have him ready to peak now.

 

Should be rock hard fit after three nice runs this time in. He didn’t have any luck last start, but I really liked the way this horse found the line. If he can jump with them today then he should get a perfect run throughout and finish the race off strongly.
