Our Happy Valley Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
There is an 8-race program under the lights at Happy Valley. The rail moves to the B position for the meeting, and there is no rain forecast in the lead-up, which should mean racing will be on a Good surface. The feature is the Group 3 January Cup over 1800m (race 6).
The first race is at 7.10pm Hong Kong time which is 10.10pm AEST.
Best Bet
Gallant Valour (Happy Valley Race 5 No. 4)
Last-start winner at this track and distance to break his maiden on 20 December, after placing at the start before. He’s nicely drawn in barrier 2 and should be able to stalk the speed again. Can win again.

Turin Mascot (Happy Valley Race 7 No. 3)
He was disappointing last start when he started favourite over 2200m and only placed.He drops back in distance to 1800m and gets pacifiers on for the first time. He’s won 5 of his 15 starts and looks a nice each-way bet.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Monday 20th January 2025
Key Comments The track is in the soft range. The best bet comes up towards the end of the day and can resume a winner after a last start flop prior to being sent to the paddock. Best Bet Baggage Handler (Albury Race 7 No. 4) Big win 2 starts back and last time out failed as a very short favourite. Trials have been rock solid since then, including a very good second on this track and looks well placed to take this

Key Comments The feature is the $100,000 Mungrup Sprint over 1300 metres (race 7). The track is rated good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Parc It In Here (Mount Barker Race 3 No. 3) Tends to settle well back in the field and runs home strongly. Won at Albany 2 starts back then was 0.7 length off the winner last start. The rise in distance should suit and he looks the testing material. Check odds on SmartB
